This week’s Midweek Magic is Alchemy Artisan! This is a format where Rares and Mythics aren’t allowed which allows for interesting deck building and (fun fact) is my favorite format on Arena!
Players can enter the event for free, win some free Rare Individual Card Rewards (ICRs) and a random cosmetic item on the third win. Below is everything you need to know about the event as well as the list of decks you can use for this event.
Event Details
Welcome to Midweek Magic! Each week, try out a different way to play MTG Arena!
