I’ve always been a bit of an achievement hunter when it comes to console gaming, so imagine my delight when they announced achievements would be coming to Magic Arena. Sure, all the rewards are purely cosmetic, but there’s just something about the thrill of finishing a gaming goal, as arbitrary as it may be.

There’s plenty of variety across MTGA’s initial wave of achievements, and it offers something to strive towards for lovers of Constructed, Limited, and even Brawl. There are even Alchemy achievements for the six people playing that format.

If you’re a frequent MTGA user and you like free stuff, open up the Achievements tab and see if you can check off a few of those boxes!

What Are Achievements on MTG Arena?

Implemented in February 2025 alongside the release of the Aetherdrift Magic set, Arena Achievements are a list of game objectives that you can satisfy to earn cosmetic rewards like in-game avatars, sleeves, and new titles. The whole system is very much “in the background,” in the sense that you never have to engage with it if you just don’t care, and all your progress towards specific achievements is tracked as you play your games and take other actions on the client. The system launched with 113 total achievements.

There’s a range of difficulty involved with these, with everything from simply playing Midweek Magic a few times to hitting Mythic Rank on the ladder for both Limited and Constructed in the same month. There aren’t any achievements that I’d call truly egregious or incredibly difficult, but there’s a healthy mix of “quick and easy” ones and achievements that are reserved for more dedicated and skillful players.

How to Find Achievements on MTGA

It’s pretty hard to miss this since there’s an Achievements tab on the main Play Blade once you open MTGA. An orange icon underneath the Achievements tab means you have a completed achievement that you can claim.

Click that tab and you’re greeted with a few categories: Recommended, Core Achievements, and Color Masteries. This tab defaults to Recommended achievements, which seem to line up with your most recently played formats or achievements on which you’ve made recent progress.

The other two categories break down into more specific mini categories. “Core Achievements” consists of four smaller sub-categories that mostly reward you for just playing the game or engaging with internal systems like crafting cards with wildcards or opening Arena booster packs. Color Masteries are a bit more flavorful, encouraging you to take game actions that are closely associated with each color’s main themes in the color pie. Black wants you to kill creatures and make your opponent discard cards, blue wants you to draw cards and cast instants, stuff like that.

How Do I Redeem an Achievement I’ve Completed?

Once you’ve fulfilled the conditions to unlock an achievement, a glowing orange diamond appears under your Achievements tab. Once on the achievements screen, you can easily find the category for the unlocked achievement by following the orange highlights. Achievements that are ready to claim always jump to the front of the list. From there, it’s just a matter of clicking the word “Claim” and progressing the rewards track.

Can You Pick Which Rewards to Unlock?

Not exactly. You can’t just pick out whichever rewards you’d like, but you can pick which ones you want to work towards unlocking.

Each subcategory of achievements has a progression track with rewards available at different milestones. But the rewards are locked in, so you know what you’re progressing toward at all times. However, since you know which rewards are tied to which achievements, you can always pursue the rewards you’re specifically looking for. If you really want a title that adds “The Mighty” to your name, you’ll need to unlock six achievements in the green color mastery section.

What Are Titles on MTG Arena?

Titles were introduced when the achievements system was implemented, and they give players the opportunity to add a tagline to their username. This’ll appear in gold lettering on the matchmaking challenge screen as well as during a match.

You can access titles from your Arena profile tab. Click “Titles” in the bottom right corner to bring up a screen with all titles in the game. Clicking an unlocked title adds it to your display name, which you can check out before clicking “Set Default” to confirm your choice. As of right now, there are 21 total titles to collect.

Can I Complete Achievements in Direct Challenge Mode?

Negative, my friends. Direct Challenge would make it too easy to farm achievements with a friend, so they’re disabled in that play mode. Similarly, you can’t unlock achievements while playing against Sparky.

What Are the Hardest Achievements to Unlock?

There’s nothing here that feels borderline impossible to unlock, though if you dedicate yourself to a single format or two, there are achievements you’ll basically never make progress on. For example, if you’re a Limited-only player like me, you can kiss the Alchemist achievements goodbye. Good luck ever getting me to build an Alchemy deck, let alone play 450 games in the format.

The “Advanced Achievements” listed above are the most difficult of the bunch, though they’re all doable with the right deck construction. For example, “A Party of None” requires you to win a game without casting a creature spell. Hard in theory, though you could just craft some sort of creatureless control or burn deck and eventually get there.

“Mythic Champion” will likely be elusive to many players, as it requires you hit Mythic Rank in Constructed and Limited during the same month. There are plenty of Arena users who simply don’t play on the client enough to realistically hit that goal.

“Vanquish the Week III” is also notable, not because it’s hard, but because it has a time constraint on it. This achievement requires you finish 52 Midweek Magic events, but seeing as those are only offered once per week, it’ll take a minimum of one full year to finish this one, assuming you hit every Midweek Magic event every week.

If you’re confused about the “Taste of Power” achievement (cast a card from the Power Nine), it’s basically asking you to play Oracle of the Alpha in a format where it’s legal, since it shuffles the Power Nine into your library.

Arena Tutor Achievements

While you’re here, check out Arena Tutor if you have an itch for more achievements. Not only can you hit some sweet goals worth bragging about, but you’ll also get invaluable assistance as you play on Arena. It’s completely free and helps you improve as you progress towards your goals!

Wrap Up

Making it to the end of this article should be an achievement on its own. Trust me: If I could make the “XBOX Diamond Achievement” sound pop up right now, I would. You’ll have to settle for a half-hearted congratulations, though.

Personally, I’m a fan of the achievements system. There’s a world where this could’ve been (and still might be in the future) gated behind a paywall of some sort, but it’s completely free and easy to ignore if you’re not interested. All the rewards are purely cosmetic, but it just feels good to unlock things as you play, knowing you invested no currency into it. I’m hoping that Arena Achievements are expanded and tweaked over time.

If you’ve unlocked any achievements so far, let me know which ones in the comments below or over in the Draftsim Discord.

Thank you for making Draftsim your #1 stop for all things Magic!
