Boros Battalion
Wizards has let it slip that Twitch Prime members will be getting yet another freebie: aMagic: Arenadeck.
How was this plot uncovered? Well, yesterday a bunch of streamers (part of Wizard’s huge push for the game includes paid and unpaid partnerships) got early access to the War of the Spark build ofArena, and one of them (Merchant) noticed a banner stating “Twitch Prime users receive a deck in MTG Arena!” Based on the ad for the promo (which is not yet live, but probably will be when Spark arrives on Friday inArena) it’s Boros-themed, which, for those of you who don’t play, is an aggro-heavy style governed by white and red man and embodied by Boros GuildmasterAurelia.
As a reminder,Magic‘s next set, War of the Spark, will be patched intoArenaon April 25, likely sometime in the early afternoon, US Eastern time. It’ll be available for pre-release sealed play this weekend (I’ll be attending again!) and officially for sale next week on May 3.
War of the Spark is probably the biggest deal since April 2018’s Dominaria, both in terms of card design and theme. This is the culminationof a years-long storylineafter all.
