While MTG Arena is changing how it handles codes for free packs and cosmetics, the old ones that players can take advantage of still exist. In the future, the developers are simply going to give them the packs for free when each expansion or important update kicks off; for now, we still have some old codes that don’t have an expiration date as of yet. While many of these packs are much older, they can be used in settings like Historic and Pioneer, as well as Brawl.
As MTG Arena can be a very expensive game - as much if not moreso than typical Standard or Commander - it is important for all players to know what codes they can use to get some free cards, while the ability to do so still exists. Here’s everything we know about what you can enter into the game.

For more recent MTG Arena expansions, you can expect to receive free three packs in your inbox in the game’s client. However, there are still a good chunk of codes from previous sets that are still active. Here’s how you can claim them in-game:
How to receive free packs in Magic: The Gathering Arena
- Boot up the game
- Click the Store tab
- Click the “Redeem Code” tab in upper right corner
- Type in the code, hit enter
Unfortunately, we have no idea if these codes have an expiration date, or if they ever will. As of today, I can confirm that they do work, as I had one or two pack codes I forgot to redeem on my personal MTG Arena account. We’ve separated them into packs and free cosmetics, so grab the ones you need and enter them in-game.

There was a much older list of free cosmetics, but they all appear to be expired. When trying to enter them on a fresh account, I received the error “Already Redeemed.” This either means they come loaded by default, or they are simply no longer in use. You can find those codes here.
Free cosmetics
- FNMAtHome: Two random cosmetics
Free exp
- Mellon: 1,000 XP
- Threads: 1,000 XP
More modern sets of MTG Arena have free packs to claim in your inbox on the home screen. This has become more common with sets like The Brothers’ War, as the game phases out this style of giveaway.
However, many of the above giveaways are for older sets, and should still work in your accounts, if you haven’t claimed them already. You can expect your three free packs for Lost Caverns of Ixlalan in this new fashion.
