Diverse Drafts and Physical Prizes

The release of Reality Fracture brings a wide collection of draft formats to digital players. Mainstay queues such as Premier Draft, Traditional Draft, Pick-Two Draft, Sealed, and Contender Draft will run alongside cycling Quick Draft rotation options. Players looking for standard environments will also see sets like Wilds of Eldraine and Aetherdrift pop up as Quick Draft choices throughout the season.

Competitive players have the chance to earn real-world cards through Arena Direct events. Successful participants can win physical Play Booster and Collector Booster boxes of Reality Fracture. Later in the event calendar, players can even compete to secure sealed product from Edge of Eternities.

Specialty Modes and Spooky Flashbacks

Special event modes are returning with updated twists to keep matches fresh. The popular Omniscience Draft format gives players hands of three cards and removes spell mana costs entirely. Arena Powered Cube makes a three-week return with visual enhancements and fresh additions to Prize Packs. Additionally, an affordable Historic Pauper Metagame Challenge provides entry-friendly access to earn gems and booster packs.

To celebrate the autumn season, Arena is hosting thematic Halloween drafts centered around horror-themed planes. Innistrad: Crimson Vow and Innistrad: Midnight Hunt will each be featured in sequential one-week Premier Flashback runs. Following the Halloween fun, players can dive into Pioneer Masters drafts to bolster their formats.

Tackle In-Game Achievement Challenges

A set of fresh gameplay achievements is live from late September through early November. Conqueror Challenges evaluate deck building and Limited mastery, requiring tasks like racking up Standard wins using new set cards or achieving a complete set collection. Completing these challenges unlocks custom cosmetic prizes, including an Eye of Ugin card sleeve.

A separate path of thematic tasks focuses on specific card interactions. Players can complete actions like casting Ghalta, the Immovable for a single mana, repeatedly using the ability of Arni, Humble Scribe, or dealing heavy damage with Loot, the Anomaly. Other achievements spotlight casting Winter, Team Player without mana, setting up Fblthp, Knows the Way, or empowering Jace Beleren. Finishing these milestones grants bonus XP, Mastery Orbs, and a unique player title.
