Article at a Glance

MTG Arena codes can be an essential aspect of the digital version of our favorite TCG, because they’re a rare chance to get something for nothing. Because MTG Arena has no trading, getting ahold of cards you want can be an infuriating experience, which makes deckbuilding harder as a result.

To combat this, you’ll need to make the most of things like Gold Packs, any free Drafts, and also your daily win bonuses if you want to play the game without spending a lot of money. MTG Arena codes help as part of that too, as many of them net you a few free packs every time a new set is released.

To help you get the most out of the game, we’ll take you through all the known active MTG Arena codes. Before we do that, however, you’ve got to know how to redeem MTG Arena codes first! So, without any further ado, here’s how you do exactly that!

MTG Arena Codes To Unlock Free Things

As we’ve just mentioned, the first thing you need to know is how to actually redeem these things. After all, knowledge is only good if you actually learn how to apply it, so you’re going to need to know where to enter codes in MTG Arena.

So, head on over to the Store page, and then just click on Redeem Code and enter one of the codes below. 

Some of the codes are touchy about capitalization, others aren’t but if you enter them as below you should be good to go. We messed around a lot as we went through, and they all seemed to work no matter how much we changed the lettering. 

To redeem one of the below codes, all you need to do is copy the bold text and paste it into the Redeem Code box.

To kick off our list of all the MTG Arena codes, we’ll start with the latest ones to be released. Unfortunately, as we’ll get to later, these aren’t free pack codes, however, they’re nevertheless well worth claiming. Offering a tipple of XP to players, these codes will help you jump ahead through the Mastery Pass. Depending on where you are, this could potentially mean free packs and content!

Currently, only one free XP code is available to all players on MTG Arena. While this may not seem like much, thankfully, the Player Inbox typically has more to offer. Rather than relying on codes, this feature allows players to directly compensate players whenever there is an outage.

While there may not be a lot to get excited about, here are all the free XP Codes available on MTG Arena right now!

Threads | 1000 XP

Alquist | 500XP + Auspicious Arrival cosmetic

Impeccable | 500XP + The Chase is On cosmetic

MTG Arena Free Pack Codes

For better or worse, Wizards of the Coast has effectively sunset free pack codes on MTG Arena. While this may sound very disappointing initially, thankfully, there is a replacement. Through the Player Inbox feature, Wizards can now give MTG Arena players free packs and content with no codes required! 

Unfortunately, while the Player Inbox is more convenient, it is more time-limited than codes used to be. Due to this, you’ll often only be able to claim one bundle of packs, even as a brand-new player. Thankfully, however, due to a chockablock release schedule, there’s a lot up for grabs for new and returning players.

Currently, should you boot MTG Arena today, there should be nine packs available for you to claim. These packs are three The Lost Caverns of Ixalan packs, three Khans of Tarkir packs, and three Alchemy: Ixalan packs.

Thankfully, while the Player Inbox is the new free pack distribution method, the old codes still work. Whether you’re looking to jumpstart your collection, or just get some free packs, these codes are exactly what you need!

  • PlayM21 |  Three packs of Core Set 2021
  • PlayZendikar | Three packs of Zendikar Rising
  • PlayKaldheim | Three packs of Kaldheim
  • PlayDND |Three packs of Forgotten Realms
  • PlayMID | Three packs of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt
  • PlayVOW | Three packs of Innistrad: Crimson Vow
  • PlayNEO | Three packs of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty
  • PlayNeoAlchemy | Three packs of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Alchemy
  • PlaySNC | Three packs of Streets of New Capenna
  • PlayAlchemyNewCapenna | Three packs of Alchemy: New Capenna
  • PlayHBG | Three packs of Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate
  • PlayDMU | Three packs of Dominaria United
  • PlayDMUA | Three packs of Alchemy: Dominaria United
  • PlayBRO |  Three packs of The Brothers’ War

MTG Arena Free Cosmetic Codes

Alongside the boatload of old free pack codes available on MTG Arena, there is also an assortment of cosmetics to claim! Unfortunately, just like pack codes, Wizards currently isn’t releasing any new codes via the old ways. Instead, new cosmetics will be delivered via the Player Inbox. That said, most new cosmetics are sold, rather than given out for free. 

While this recent development may not be the most enjoyable, thankfully, the old codes aren’t going anywhere.

  • FNMAtHome | Two random cosmetics

Similarly to the free pack codes above, it’s unclear if any of these free cosmetic codes have an expiration date. Just in case they do, it’s a good idea to claim all of these codes not, lest you end up missing out. 

MTG Arena Paid Pack Codes

Alongside all the free codes that are available for MTG Arena, Wizards of the Coast offers codes for some physical products. The main source of these are typically Prerelease packs and Starter Kits. 

Starter Kits

When purchasing a Starter Kit, such as The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Starter Kit MTG players will receive a pair of codes inside. Each one of these codes will unlock digital copies of both Starter decks in MTG Arena. Since there are two of these codes, you can use one yourself, and give the other to a friend! 

Unfortunately for value-hungry MTG players, these preconstructed starter decks do not contain a huge number of rare and mythic rare cards. The Tales of Middle-earth decks, for instance, only contain four rare cards and one mythic. While this isn’t incredible value, these decks are nevertheless a great way to start playing MTG. 

Prerelease Packs

While Starter Kits may not offer exceptional value, the Prerelease Packs certainly do. Included within each Prerelease Pack is a code for six packs for the same set on MTG Arena. Offering a great way to jumpstart your collection, these codes are all the more reason to attend Prerelease events! Unfortunately, for sets that aren’t on MTG Arena, such as Commander Masters, no Prerelease Pack codes will be available.

Alongside obtaining these codes through your own Prerelease Pack, these codes are also available online. Unsurprisingly, across the internet, several storefronts list these prerelease pack codes for sale to eager players. If you don’t want to part with your hard-earned cash, however, there is another option.

Thanks to generous MTG players across social media, it’s not uncommon for unused Prerelease Pack codes to be posted online. Typically seen on the r/MagicArena Subreddit, this can be an excellent way to score some free packs. Keep in mind, however, many MTG players are already aware of this generosity, so there’s often fierce competition for codes. Unless you catch a code that has just been posted, chances are you might not be the one to redeem it. Still, it’s a nice bonus to keep in mind!

Promo Pack Codes

Players who frequent their Local Game Stores for various weekly MTG events should be familiar with the unique Prize packs. Top finishers in each weekly tournament will generally receive one of these packs. If you do really well, your pack could be foil!

Each of these packs generally contains one rare/mythic card from the appropriate set (if it’s a Wilds of Eldraine prize pack, it will be a card from that set), one of a set of common/uncommon promo cards with a special border and a security stamp, and another rare/mythic from a pool of cards exclusive to each Prize Pack. The rare and Mythic Rare cards will have the unique Planeswalker stamp in the bottom right of the picture. An example of this is shown above.

In addition, an MTG Arena code is available in these packs, but the amount you can add to your MTG Arena account is limited per set. Typically, you can only add five codes to your MTG Arena account per set. Each code will award you one pack of the set associated with the Prize pack.

Codes are Being Sunset

Unfortunately, while codes have been a staple on MTG Arena for years, in 2022, WotC announced a monumental change. Alongside the release of The Brothers’ War, the Player Inbox was implanted onto MTG Arena. As the name suggests, this feature is a handy way for players to receive in-game messages and content.

For the most part, the Player Inbox is mostly used to inform players about announcements and patch notes. Thankfully, that’s not all, as with the release of each new set, the Player Inbox is used to distribute free packs! To claim these, all MTG players have to do is log in and tap a few buttons at most.

Right now, since it’s the most recent set, all MTG Arena players will be able to claim three Murders at Karlov Manor packs. That is unless you’ve claimed them already, at least. While this is a great improvement to usability, unfortunately, there is a catch.

While the Player Inbox has made claiming packs and content easier, each item is only available for a limited time. Thanks to this, brand-new MTG Arena players won’t be able to claim as many packs as previously possible. Sadly, this makes jumpstarting a collection a lot more difficult, which in turn hurts Arena’s free-to-play potential.

Overall, the Player Inbox has been an incredibly well-received feature for most MTG players. Regardless of whether or not you like it, there’s going to be a lack of physical codes going forward. Thankfully, while codes are rarer they aren’t dying out entirely as Wizards occasionally gives out some XP or cosmetics as a treat.

Expired MTG Arena Codes

Unfortunately, while free content is nice, Wizards of the Coast’s generosity does have some limits. As a result, the codes that are available on MTG Arena do come with an expiration date. Sadly, this date isn’t publicized by Wizards, so it’s difficult to know when exactly codes will disappear. Thankfully, trial and error has taught us a great many things, so we know what works and what doesn’t.

Since MTG Arena has been around for quite a while now, unfortunately, there are a fair few expired codes. In our testing, these codes won’t get you anything anymore, but you’re welcome to try them yourself if you wish.
