Buy Decks in the MTG Arena Store Tomorrow!
Starting on Tuesday, August 13, you can buy complete Standard and Brawl decks in the MTG Arena Store! They offer fast and easy ways to start playing Standard and Brawl games right away.
The price of these decks is prorated such that you only purchase cards missing from your collection. For each copy of a card already in your collection that is contained in these decks, the total gem price is reduced at a scaling rate based on the rarity of the card.
You’ll be able to see the cards in each deck, as well as which you already have in your collection, before you purchase.
Foundation Deck: Standard Dinosaurs
Foundation Deck: Standard Dinosaurs is everything you could want in a big red-green stompy deck! Cast massive Dinosaurs, attack for huge amounts of damage, and bring the prehistoric pain! This deck will be available in the store for 5,310 gems and features the following cards:
Champion Deck: Standard Toxic is the compleat package for poison counters and control gameplay. Attack with your Phyrexians to slowly corrupt your opponent and remember: you only need to inflict ten poison counters on them to win. Play this deck well, and all will be one! This deck will be available in the store for 11,280 gems and features the following cards:
Build a board with goblins, then buff up Zada and watch the copies rack up for a devastating attack! This deck will be available for 2,210 gems and features these cards:
Drain your opponent and gain life by filling the board with enchantments and allowing Eriette to eat away at your opponent! This deck will be available for 4,480 gems and features these cards:

These decks will be available through the MTG Arena Store starting tomorrow, August 13. Look for more decks coming in the future!
