Changes are coming to Magic: The Gathering Arena and the patch notes for June contain a new rewards structure for WotS Chronicles events, along with a special pre-order deal for Core Set 2020 (M20).
Updates are complete on MTG Arena and they introduce a new reward structure for the War of the Spark Chronicles tournament events. With two more parts left in the series (Commence the Endgame and Gideon’s Sacrifice), players no longer have to achieve 15 wins to get the final stained-glass planeswalker reward.
The new structure for WotS Chronicles events, Counters and Ravnica Constructed, is as follows:
- Three wins for stained-glass planeswalker card style
- Five wins for 200 gold
- Seven wins for stained-glass planeswalker card style
- 10 wins for stained-glass planeswalker card style
Changes were made to the rewards structure based on feedback from players, saying the grind to 15 wins was overwhelming. The tournaments during the War of the Spark Chronicles event are free-to-play, last a week, and don’t record losses.

Upon the release and update to MTG Arena on July 2, the London Mulligan rule will officially go into effect. In addition, Event and Store Glass Styles are getting moved to Deck Builder.
Bug fixes in the 0.15 MTG Arena patch include fixing the Eternal-God Kefnet stall in the game when declining the ability to cast a card, the annoying sound bug producing a static sound, and the static ability on Dauntless Bodyguard toward a planeswalker that was a creature when it entered the battlefield.
Upcoming events and important dates on MTG Arena include part four: Commence the Endgame (Commons) tournament from June 14 to 21, and part five: Gideon’s Sacrifice (Ravnica Constructed) from June 21 to 28. On July 2, Core Set 2020 releases on MTG Arena and another major update will occur.
