Real world Magic the Gathering and Magic the Gathering on your phone are smashing together. Well kinda.
For the month of September, taking part in events in-store will contribute to in-game progress for Magic Arena.
This is a fun incentive for players to progress their digital and physical collections at the same time. Players participating in an event with their Wizards account will receive 1,000 XP via their Magic Arena inbox which contributes towards unlocking new cards and more.
