MTG Arena Open: Strixhaven Sealed Participants Can Get 2 New Sleeves

Wizards of the Coast has announced the details for the upcoming MTG Arena Open: Strixhaven Sealed coming this May. Arena Opens are two-day online competitions that give out cash prizes to top finisheers. The first-ever Sealed MTG Arena Open last February turned out to be a huge success as MTG Arena game director Jay Parker confirmed that it was the biggest Arena Open yet. Just like the Kaldheim Sealed Arena Open, there will be Best-of-One and Best-of-Three Sealed events that players can compete for prize money, and WotC is encouraging players to play both to get two new sleeves featuring Will and Rowan Kenrith.

Play Best-of-One matches: The format is Strixhaven Sealed, and seven wins earns you a qualification token for entry to Day 2 competition. Everyone who participates will receive the Rowan card sleeve!

Play Best-of-Three matches: The format is Strixhaven Traditional Sealed, and four wins earns you a qualification token for entry to Day 2 competition. Everyone who participates will receive the Will card sleeve!

You can play both Best-of-One and Best-of-Three if you want to get both sleeves since you can enter Day 1 events as many times as you’d like, but earning multiple Day 2 qualification tokens still only counts as one entry to Day 2.

MTG Arena players have been enjoying Strixhaven Limited format (Booster Draft and Sealed), and I think the designers did a fantastic job making the Limited experience of this new set enjoyable, so it’s likely that this Arena Open will be a huge success again.
