The developers at Cryptic Studios have revealed how regional reputations work in Magic: Legends, the upcoming ARPG set in the Multiverse of Magic: The Gathering.
Planeswalkers will have to band together with allies to help those in need, and doing so will help you improve your prowess and net you some handsome rewards.
You can unlock Reputations and Daily Quests for each particular region after completing story missions for that area. Each region has its own Daily Quests and Reputation track, and each of these Reputations has 100 levels for you to gain favor in, with more difficult content in each area earning you more experience to level up faster.
Rewards for increasing Reputations are broken up by levels, and specific milestone levels have unique rewards based on each region. At levels 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100, you’ll earn either a unique Artifact, Spell, or themed costumed piece based on the region you’re earning reputation for, in addition to gold and Planar Mana at each level.
5 Regional Reputations in Magic: Legends
Here are the details of the five Regional Reputations shared on the official Magic: Legends website:

A church-state city on the plane of Dominaria, where rolling plains meet dark swamps. The Benalish people are at war with the Cabal fanatics and their demons. Reputation levels earned from Benalia reward you with White Planar Mana. The costume pieces are all part of the Champion’s set, which is as radiant as Benalia itself. A key reward earned through this region’s reputation is the Benalish Heirloom, a Greater artifact that creates a 1/1 human soldier creature token when you heal, gives Lesser Swiftness to creatures you control, and +125 White Mana Buff Rating. The unique spell for this region is Benalish Marshal, which is a 2 point Human Soldier creature that gives +1/+1 to other creatures you control.

The costume pieces are all part of the Cecani’s Legacy set, which will let your friends and foes alike know that you are serious about monster hunting. Another reward is the Tome of Gisa, a Greater artifact that creates a 2/2 zombie creature token when you cast a zombie creature spell, grants Greater Swiftness to the zombie token, and +125 Black Mana Creature Health. The unique spell for this region is Creeping Plague, a sorcery spell that does damage over time to enemies in a cone, which also spreads to nearby foes.

Shiv is a volcanic island on the plane of Dominaria. It’s inhabited by Ghitu tribes, goblins, ogres, and dragons.
