Mastery System
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.
Set Mastery
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 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
· (Other - occasionally there are codes or special events that reward XP.)
What rewards can I earn?
Players can earn multiple Booster packs and Mastery Orbs that are used to unlock certain Card Styles. Additional rewards are available for players who have purchased a Mastery Pass.
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
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.
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.
Companions
What are Companions?
Companions are a cosmetic feature that adds a companion creature to your collection. Companions will join you on the battlefield and observe your matches from the sidelines. Please Note: Companions do not offer any additional game play features. It is a cosmetic option only.
How do I add companions to my collection?
Currently, companions are only available through our Mastery Pass bundle.
How do I see which companions I've collected?
On your Profile page, you will find a Companions Selection option next to the Change Avatar button. This will open a browser where you can view the companions in your collection, as well as choose which to display on the battlefield.
How do I change the appearance of my companion?
You can swap the color of your companion while they are on the battlefield. Simply click your companion, and watch them transform! Additionally, as you complete your Set Mastery your companion will level up alongside you, unlocking an Uncommon and Rare version with additional changes to their appearance.
