Outlaws of Thunder Junction Mastery

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Mastery

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Mastery details, including rewards and a guide on how to climb the levels.

The Mastery system for Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTJ) on MTG Arena is a way for players to receive in-game content through regular gameplay. It runs from April 16, 2024 until the release of the next major expansion Bloomborrow on July 30, 2024. Players earn rewards based on their current Set Mastery level, which varies for each specific Set Mastery.

Players may notice this Mastery is particularly longer than usual as the Standard set releases are far apart. There is a Modern Horizons 3 release coming on June 11, 2024 which MTG Arena is trying something new for (details soon), and will run concurrently with the OTJ Mastery.

Important note: When the OTJ patch releases and the new Mastery starts, players get a fresh set of Daily Quests, as well as a rest of the Daily Wins and Weekly Wins. Be sure to complete what you have active already, and advance your current Mastery as much as possible!

Below is the full breakdown of the Mastery.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Mastery Level and Experience

  • Cost: The March of the Machine Mastery Pass costs 3,400 Gems.

A player’s Set Mastery level is based on the amount of experience they have earned through play.

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 System FAQ

What is the Mastery System?

The Mastery System is a way for players to earn experience and unlock rewards by playing Magic: The Gathering Arena.

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. With Core Set 2020, we’ve expanded this system to now include Set Mastery system which will be specific to each new Standard set on Magic: The Gathering Arena.

Does the Mastery System cost anything?

All players receive access to the Account Mastery and standard Set Mastery at no additional cost. Players can unlock additional rewards for the Set Mastery by purchasing a Mastery Pass.

Does the Mastery System ever reset?

The Account Mastery is part of our new player experience and may only be completed once. Your Set Mastery level and rewards will reset with the release of every new Standard set on MTG Arena.

What is the next Mastery?

The next Mastery season begins with The Brothers' Waron November 10, 2022 (tabletop release: November 18, 2022).

Set Mastery FAQ

How long is each Set Mastery available?

Set Masteries are available for the most recent Standard set, starting on the day the set is released and ending when the next set is released.

How many levels are there in WOE Set Mastery?

The Set Mastery goes up to Level 90. All players receive rewards through level 90, while players with the Mastery Pass will receive rewards up to level 110 and beyond (an uncommon Individual Card Reward every level).

How do I earn rewards?

By play! Every time you complete a quest, or earn one of your daily wins (up to 10), or earn one of your weekly wins (up to 15), you’ll receive experience points towards your current Mastery level. Additional XP may be available through special events or promotional items (such as codes). As you level up, you’ll receive rewards based on your current level.

Methods of earning XP include:
·  Daily Wins – 25 XP for the first 10 wins per day
·  Weekly Wins – 250 XP for the first 15 wins per week
·  Quests – 500 XP for each quest completed

What happens when a new set is released on MTG Arena?

When a new set is released on MTG Arena, a new Set Mastery reward track becomes available and your Set Mastery level is reset to 0.

Can I complete older Set Masteries?

There are currently no plans to allow players to complete Set Masteries for older sets. While you will keep any rewards you may have received from the previous Set Mastery, you will not be able to unlock any remaining rewards once the Set Mastery is no longer available.

Mastery Pass FAQ

What is the Mastery Pass? How is different than the Mastery System?

While all players have access to the base Mastery System, the Mastery Pass is an optional way for players to earn additional rewards through Set Mastery.

How much does the Mastery Pass cost?

The Mastery Pass can be purchased for 3,400 gems. Players can earn gems through rewards in certain events, or by purchasing them directly from the store.

What do I receive when I purchase the Mastery Pass?

All players who purchase the Mastery Pass will automatically receive the common Elemental-Themed pet, as well as the Nahiri, Heir of the Ancientsplayer avatar and Zendikar Rising card sleeve.

What else is included in Mastery Pass?

If I purchased a Mastery Pass, what happens when a new Set Mastery is released? 

Each Mastery Pass is tied to a specific Set Mastery. Once a new Set Mastery is released, the older set (and it’s corresponding Mastery Pass) will no longer be available.
