MTG Arena Zone June 2021 Update: Organizing Content and Premium Promotion

Hello everyone we hope everybody has been well since our update last month. As always, we can’t thank everybody enough for visiting and supporting us. Things have been a bit quiet on the Arena front, so we had a bit of time to strategize before we approach the spoiler season for the next set, Forgotten Realms. We’ll get right to it!

Website Navigation and Organization

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working on how to best organize the website and make navigation super easy for our visitors. This is something that I was personally obsessed about ever since the beginning, but put off time and time again in favor of pushing out new content. A streamlined approach was necessary so that we could also apply a working formula for our other websites.

1. Homepage

We’ve updated the homepage so you can navigate where you want to go, straight away. The top most part we want to experiment with a little bit, but for now it links to the major sections and the major events currently going on. We also added the metagame snapshot (the bo3 rankings of Standard and Historic). Below that, you’ll see the latest decklists and articles that you normally see.

2. Menu

We’ve decided on the major sections of the website – for now. Naturally, the Tools and Videos section are the least popular parts of the website (except for the Mastery Calculator) as they are not our focus and may be replaced later on.

3. Sections

We have decided to divide the two types of written content on our website – Articles and Guides with further subdivisions:

Articles

Here you will find mostly time sensitive content such as news, tournament reports, the latest decklists and analysis. These are the major categories of articles we have decided on for now:

Guides

Here we aim for “evergreen” guides related to the game that we always plan to keep updated. You will find our usual deck guides, metagame tier list, budget decks, and so on:

This is still a work in progress and subject to further changes. Most importantly, we would love to know what you think and how we can improve it. Let us know in the comments below!

Free Premium Strategy Articles and Giveaway

Somewhat related to above, our Strategy Article section looked a bit bare as we were going through our 1000’s of posts so we decided to release three Premium articles for everyone to have a read for free! Please enjoy at your leisure:
