MTG Arena Promo Pack
You can also redeem one code for a MTG Arena Promo Pack every week, inspired by the promo packs you receive at your local store. It contains two in-game cosmetic items, refreshed to ensure that these rewards remain playable after the Zendikar Rising Standard rotation. The contents are as follows:
Zendikar Rising MTG Arena Promo Pack Contents
Here’s the breakdown for Zendikar Rising:
Slot one : Any non-double faced rare or mythic rare from Zendikar Rising, with a special Planeswalker symbol stamp on the card.
Slot two : A rare or mythic rare from a curated list cards. This card will also bear the Planeswalker symbol stamp.
Slot three : One of five Zendikar Rising cards in the dark frame of previous FNM promos.
The 5 Cards are: Into the Roil, Bloodchief’s Thirst, Roil Eruption, Roiling Regrowth, and Kargan Warleader
Slot four : A code card that redeems for one Zendikar Rising booster pack in MTG Arena.
The Fine Print: Code expires January 1, 2024. Limit 5 per account. MTG Arena (and its game codes) are not available in all regions and languages. Account registration required.
In regions where MTG Arena is not available, the Promo Pack is a three-card pack.
The contents of Zendikar Rising Premium Promo Packs are identical to the Promo Packs, but the first three cards will be foil.
As outlined in the event details, the code is obtained from your local game store’s online community:
HOW TO GET A REWARD CODE FROM YOUR STORE
Some stores have robust online communities, and others will be forming them for the first time. If you’re already part of such a community, great! Check with them and get connected.
If you aren’t part of a local game store’s online community, or if they don’t have one set up, there are a couple ways you can get connected. One is to simply reach out to your store and ask. Another is to head to locator.wizards.com to find your local game store’s website. Many of them have set up online communities through Discord, WhatsApp, and Facebook, so you may have to join or download one of those applications.
Step by step, here’s how it works:
Play in the event (win or lose as much as you want)
Share your screenshot with a nice message on their channel
Store will message you a code* through that social media channel
*Note: While supplies last. Not all stores are participating. Limit one code per account. Sharing a screenshot with your local game store does not guarantee you will receive a code.
If you cannot find an appropriate store or just don’t want to bother with the whole process, you can buy the codes directly from trusted MTG Arena code vendors such as Gray Viking Games. For a few dollars, you can instantly obtain the code to the MTG Arena Promo Pack as well as codes from other products such as Prerelease, Planeswalker decks, Secret Lair sleeves, and more. For more information of MTG Arena codes, consult our full guide. Be sure to check them out!

Decklists
Our Brawl decks have all gone a a bit dusty (and completely unusable) since the Standard rotation, so we will be taking this opportunity to refresh most of them and adding new ones, with a focus on the new Zendikar Rising Commanders as well. We’ve moved the older rotated decks to our Historic Brawl section for future use.
We have spicy new decks by sinpyro, and more new ones coming so check back later! Let us know how you go, any improvements you made and if you have any feedback in terms of Brawl content in the future we would love to hear from you in the comments below.
As always, this is a non-competitive event and not all decks are on the same power level. If you just want your two quick wins and continue on, we recommend something like Heliod, Kinnan, Ashiok or Torbran to complete this event.
