  • Uncharted Paths: An event containing Jank Standard Constructed decks.

Each event within the Workshop Series will last for a total of 48 hours, starting on a Monday and ending on Wednesday. The first win in any of the three events will reward players with either gold, XP, or an Individual Reward Card.

Starting on Feb. 22, the Festival of Gods will launch within Magic Arena. The series contains a total of five events, each one highlighting one of the five Gods in THB and played in different Magic format.
