The Mastery system for Dominaria United (DMU) on MTG Arena is a way for players to receive in-game content through regular gameplay. It runs from September 1, 2022 until the release of the next expansion, The Brothers’ War in November 10, 2022. Players earn rewards based on their current Set Mastery level, which varies for each specific Set Mastery.

The Mastery system for DMU looks largely the same as Mastery for the previous set, Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate (HBG), but there are a handful of changes. Firstly, the DMU Mastery system has a maximum level of 80 instead of 70. Next, there will be additional Renewal Rewards included up to level 31, free for all players who logged in before September 1, 2022. Finally, the rewards contain no Alchemy content.

Overall, assuming The Brothers’ War is set to be released on November 10, 2022, the Mastery requires 8 levels per week (average: 7.6) and players gain 3.3 free packs per week (average: 3). It makes it slightly easier to complete than Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty (NEO) (average: 8.2) and much easier than the previous HBG (average: 8.8). It is slightly more rewarding than the normal 3 free packs per week, similar to NEO (3.27) and HBG (3.375). Thanks to reddit user EmTeeEm for the calculations!

Below is the full breakdown of the Mastery.

Dominaria United Level and Experience

Duration: Set Mastery spans the duration of a set release, starting when the applicable set releases on MTG Arena until the following set is released. Dominaria United Mastery runs from September 1, 2022 until the release of the next expansion, The Brothers’ War in November 10, 2022.
Cost: The Dominaria United Mastery Pass costs 3,400 Gems.

A player’s Set Mastery level is based on the amount of experience they have earned through play. Players primarily earn experience by completing in-game Daily Quests, Daily Wins and Weekly Wins. Additional experience may be earned by limited time events or promotional items. You can also use the Mastery Calculator to predict what your final level will be, which can differ depending on how much you play!

Mastery Calculator – Dominaria United Mastery

There are a total of 80 levels available in the Set Mastery with each level up requiring 1000 XP. All players receive rewards through Level 66, while players with the Mastery Pass will receive rewards up to Level 80 and beyond.
All levels past level 80 will earn the player one Uncommon Individual Card Reward (ICR) that has a 5% upgrade rate.
XP and Orbs from the previous Mastery are not transferred to this one, nor to the next Mastery.
Players earn Mastery XP via playing the game regularly for a daily total of slightly over 1000 XP and a total of 7250 XP per week. Wins can be earned in any game mode; with the exception of Direct Challenge, and Bot Matches:
- 500 XP from Daily Quests per day
- 3750 XP from 15 Weekly Wins per week (250 XP per win) (up to fifteen; resets at 2 AM PDT). Weekly
- Up to 250 XP from 10 Daily Wins per day (25 XP per win)
- Note: Weekly Wins and Daily Quests counter are reset (15 wins and 3 quests) upon arrival of the new Mastery.
Codes: Redeem any free promotional codes to receive bonus XP:

Events: Sometimes, there are catchup events or free to enter events that grant Mastery as a bonus.

There are three separate tracks of reward you can earn. Each will be explained below, along with a table of the rewards gained at each level including the Mastery Tree:

Mastery System FAQ

What is the Mastery System?

What’s the difference between “Account Mastery” and “Set Mastery”?

Players complete the Account Mastery system as part of the new player experience, which unlocks the 15 starter decks as well as certain cosmetics.
