With each Standard rotation, we will retire the existing set of introductory two-color decks and roll out a new set. These decks will feature only cards from the new Standard, so they will remain legal in the format for the cards.

New players will receive these new decks from the Color Challenge and the onboarding quest line. As always, when a new player unlocks one of these decks for the first time, they will also receive all cards from that deck in their collection that they do not already have.

For existing players, these decks will simply appear in the Starting Decks folder in the Decks tab. Please note, the decks provided by promotional codes and the New Player Experience grants players the cards needed to create the deck on MTG Arena. If an account already owns some of the cards found in the deck, the grant will not provide excess copies of cards.
