MTG Arena will be hosting a special series of events called the Decathlon. Ten events with a variety of formats spanning fifteen days will be culminating to one final event for a chance to win some big prizes, including up to twocopies of each card in the upcoming Phyrexia: All Will Be One set! This guide will contain everything you need to know about the Jump In! event including the schedule, rewards and our exclusive sample decklists.
Packs awarded during Decathlon events can be from sets legal in Historic, Standard, and can even include the new Alchemy: Innistrad packs:
Standard main set: 40%
Non-Standard main set pack: 40%
Alchemy set – 10%
Mythic pack: 10%
You can enter the Decathlon events as many times as you want, but you can only get one decathlon token from each event. You also need to get three different tokens to be able to enter the finals so make plans to play other events if you want to get your hands on some of those sweet finals prizes.
Jump In! Guide
Unfortunately we don’t have any super concrete advice for Jump In! as it’s going to be very much determined by what packs you get offered. However, understanding the rares that each pack offers and picking the most strongest of the Rares and packs that work synergistically with each other is a good idea. To know what has which, be sure to check out the guide and hope to get packs that are more synergistic with each other.
The first Decathlon is best-of-one Alchemy! 63 new powerful digital-only cards and 11 rebalanced existing Standard cards to shakeup the metagame in this brand new format, we are bound to see a good variety of decks that feature them.
