As a card game with literally thousands of cards, Magic: The Gathering can feel very intimidating, even on MTG Arena. Magic: The Gathering Arena often releases codes for free card packs and cosmetics, typically when a new expansion or update comes out. This always helps, giving players a few extra cards and teasing what players can expect in future pulls.
Most of these codes have no expiration date, but the list below will inform players if some are about to expire and when. Sometimes, these codes also give out exp for Mastery paths, cosmetics, and much more.

What are the codes to unlock free packs and cosmetics in Magic: The Gathering?
While Magic: The Gathering is a free-to-play game, packs of cards can be purchased with in-game gold or real-money crystals. Typically, when a new expansion drops, Wizards of the Coast drops a code that players can use once to grant themselves three free card packs.
These card packs aren’t exclusive to Standard expansions either, with some recent Alchemy format updates getting free packs as well. This helps players who want to play in more formats than simply Standard.
In addition to the general Standard meta, there is also Historic, Explorer, Alchemy, Sealed, Brawl, and Draft. Sealed and Draft cannot take advantage of cards in a player’s collection, but the rest can.
It’s incredibly easy to unlock these codes in-game as well:
- Open MTG Arena
- Click the “Store” icon
- Click the oval in the top-right
- Input the code
- Hit Enter
Note: All codes are case sensitive, so please be aware when typing them in.
