It must be pretty chilly outside because we’re bundling up today. Arena bundles, that is. Don't reach for that thick coat just yet.

As with paper Magic, MTG Arena can be a bit pricey if you’re not choosey with the way you buy products. As much as I’d love to tell people to draft to fill up their collections, it’s come to my attention that there are, in fact, people who like to play Constructed instead. Gasp.

Hopefully, I can help you sort through the different offerings in the Arena store so you can save a little scratch on your next Constructed venture.

What is an MTG Arena Bundle?

Wheel and Deal | Illustration by Alan Pollack

An Arena bundle is an assortment of cards, Arena packs, cosmetics, emotes, wildcards, or gems sold for real-world money, gold, or gems in the MTG Arena Store. Many of these bundles rotate, some are a limited-time offering and others are tied to the most current sets on Arena.

We focus on “evergreen” bundles here, the ones that are either always available in-store or types that rotate with a similar cadence for each new major set. There are plenty of other companion bundles, Alchemist bundles with Alchemy boosters, full art land bundles, and so forth that change often enough that we do not have space to mention them all here.

As a caveat to every bundle here, please remember to buy responsibly and spend within your means!

#7. Mythic Pack Bundles

Mythic Packs are slightly more expensive packs that have a much higher chance at a mythic rare. If you’re hunting specifically for mythics and intend to buy boosters, these are a better choice than buying standard boosters. If you need to acquire a specific playset of a single mythic rare, it’s more reliable to buy wildcards straight-up than gambling on opening boosters. You also are not rewarded for buying these in bulk. Buying 10 at a time is the same price as buying 10 individually, so you could purchase them in moderation and see what you open along the way.

• 1x Mythic Pack – 260 Gems/1,300 Gold
• 10x Mythic Packs – 2,600 Gems/13,000 Gold

#6. Standard Pack Bundles

Standard packs, the easiest way to get a six-pack.

I believe these are the packs that keep Arena in business. Constructed brewers and anyone trying to spike an early-format Standard tournament are likely investing into Standard set packs over anything else. There’s no reward if you buy these packs in bulk unless you count the card style “box topper” for the 45 or 90 pack option. If you need a small subset of cards, skip the urge to splurge on the largest bundles. Buy smaller quantities of packs until you open what you need, and remember each individual pack you open accumulates wildcards and Golden Pack progress (for the most recent sets). Buying packs in groups of 10 does a fine job of earning you a Golden Pack in one purchase.

While the individual sets change, these prices are consistent with Standard set releases. I also found the slider at the top of this store page convenient, since it highlights sets which are and are not legal in Standard.

• 1x Pack – 200 Gems/1,000 Gold
• 3x Packs – 600 Gems/3,000 Gold
• 6x Packs – 1,200 Gems/6,000 Gold
• 10x Packs – 2,000 Gems/10,000 Gold
• 45x Packs – 9,000 Gems/45,000 Gold
• 90x Packs – 18,000 Gems/90,000 Gold

#5. Wildcard Bundles

Wildcards are used to craft specific cards for your collection. They’re an essential part of the Magic Arena economy, and partially responsible for how difficult it can be to acquire the cards you need to upgrade Arena's starter decks, or build a deck from scratch. A wildcard gets exchanged for any card on the client with an equivalent rarity, and the bulk of what most players need are rares and mythics.

Purchase one of these Wildcard Bundles to essentially buy a playset of a specific card, though you can obviously craft whichever cards you want and how many you want in whatever quantities with the wildcards you have. If you need four copies of something right away, this is how you get them.

• 4x Rare Wildcards – $9.99
• 4x Mythic Wildcards – $19.99

#4. New Set Release Bundles Pre-Orders

About two or three weeks before the release of a new major set, you'll see “pre-order” bundles appear in the store. One focuses on booster packs, another on Play-In Points and Draft tokens, and a third focused on that set’s Mastery Pass. While the exact offerings change from set to set, the ones available for Avatar: The Last Airbender include an exquisite Arena sleeve with one of the set's legends:

• “Pack Bundles” – $49.99 – 50x normal boosters, 5x Golden Boosters, 1x pre-selected Mythic, and an associated card style.
• “Play Bundle” – $24.99 – 2x Player Draft tokens, 1x Sealed token, 5x Play-In Points, a pre-selected legend and their associated styles and Arena sleeves, and the set companion.
• “Pass Bundle” – $14.99 – Set Mastery Pass, a pre-selected legend and their associated card styles and sleeves.

Note that these bundles deliver the cards only when the corresponding set actually releases on Arena. At that time, the bundles go away from the store.

#3. Gem Bundles

Gem bundles are probably the best to become acquainted with, since gems are the only resource on Arena you can actually purchase with real-world money, so they set the standard for how much everything on Arena actually costs.

Individual gem bundles become better deals the more you buy in bulk, so it’s best to parse out exactly what you need gems for first, then decide on which bundle’s best for you.

• 750 Gems – $4.99 – The standard amount for a single Quick Draft.
• 1,600 Gems – $9.99 – Enough for a little more than a single Premier/Traditional Draft.
• 3,400 Gems – $19.99 – The same amount of gems needed to purchase a Mastery Pass, note that if you plan to spend real-world money to unlock it, you save $5 if you pre-order the new set's Pass Bundle .
• 9,200 Gems – $49.99 – A pretty random number of gems, that is more than enough for a Universes Beyond premium Arena Direct entry (8,000 Gems).
• 20,000 Gems – $99.99 – Enough to cover the cost of 90-pack purchases (18,000 Gems).
• 40,000 Gems – $199.99 – Enough for two 90-pack purchases plus the most expensive cosmetic which is the Brushwagg or Sol Ring Companion at 3,000 gems.

#2. New Player Bundles

Arena offers two new-player bundles that are among the best deals you can snag from the store. The catch: They’re only available as a one-time purchase. Once you make a new MTG Arena account, these are immediately available from the store, and they’re honestly pretty good deals for anyone looking to jump right in and kick off their collection.

• Welcome Bundle – $4.99 – 2,500 Gems and five assorted Standard-legal boosters.
• Adventurer Bundle – $14.99 – 3,500 Gems, an Adventurer avatar, and a City of Brass sleeve. Compare this price to the $20 Gem bundle, which gives you 3,400 gems for $5 more.

#1. Pay to Play Bundles

Magic Arena offers some killer one-time purchases so if you're ready to invest some real-world money into your digital game, the Spark Bundle and Planeswalker Bundle are two of the best buys you can make.

• Spark Bundle – $24.99 – 1,500 Gems, 4 mythic wildcards, 4 rare wildcards, metallic Arena sleeve, and Slimefoot avatar.
• Planeswalker Bundle – $49.99 – 6,500 Gems, 4 draft tokens, Chatterfang sleeve, and Phelddagrif avatar.

By my estimation (and I don't value cosmetics highly) the Spark Bundle nets you a positive $15 in value, the key is if the 1,500 gems are worth about $10, and the wildcards are worth a combined $30, then you minus 25 ($24.99) from 40 ($30+$10) to get the $15 in value. Now if those wildcard bundles are not worth that much to you, I'd understand your hesitation, but within the MTGA economy, this is excellent.

The Planeswalker Bundle represents more than $30 in value. My eyes are immediately drawn to the four draft tokens which equal 6,000 gems, and are about the same as $39. The gems are a slightly greater value at about $43 (the approximate cost for 6,500 gems). Toss in the Chatterfang, Squirrel General inspired sleeve and Phelddagrif avatar, and let's make this deal.

Compare Your Collection to Bundle Contents

Obviously, if you’re chasing after key cards for your collection, it helps to know exactly what’s in your collection already. There are two easy ways to do this.

The first is to actually check your collection in-game. To do this, simply go the Decks tab on the Arena homepage, go down to Collection.

You are greeted with the entirety of your collection sorted in color order.

I find that it’s helpful to navigate to the Advanced Filters (the button represented by three horizontal lines), then make sure “Collected” and “Not collected” are both highlighted.

Shaded cards are not yet part of your collection, the diamonds above the card indicate how many of that card you have.

This brings up the entire Arena card pool, where you can compare what you have to what you don’t own. You can further narrow your search in the Advanced Filters by MTG set, card type, mana cost, colors, etc.

And of course, we’re very proud of our Arena Tutor add-on, which not only helps you in-game, but provides a handy collection tracker you can use to sort out what you own vs. what’s missing. Obviously, you can’t tell what to expect from any given Arena bundle made up of random packs, but tracking your collection in Arena Tutor can give you a better understanding of how close you are to the top meta decks, set completion, rare/mythic completion, etc.

Wrap Up

And that’s Arena bundles, all the best Arena deals, bundled up in one place. There are others not mentioned here, as well as rotational ones that change often enough that you’ll just have to keep an eye on them. My advice for regular Arena players is to check the store at least once per play session. You might snag a deal you weren’t expecting, plus you sometimes get free gold or gems in the store anyway, so it’s a good habit to develop.

Check the store each session, occasionally these one-time, no-brainers come up for less than a day. No reason to not windmill slam this “purchase.”

Recognize what your goals are and match the bundles to those goals. If you just plan to draft, you don’t need to worry about Standard packs or Wildcard Bundles. Conversely, Timeless Constructed aficionados should familiarize themselves with most bundles the store has to offer.

How do you handle Arena purchases? Are there any go-to bundles you’re typically fond of? Let me know in the Draftsim Discord or on Twitter/X.

As always, thank you for making Draftsim your #1 stop for all things Magic!
