Modern Horizons 3 Rewards in Psychic Frog's Horizon Hideaway

Soon you'll be able to accumulate rewards in Daily Wins and Quests for Modern Horizons 3! Earn special Horizon Hideaway tickets you can redeem for card styles, avatars, packs, and more. Get full details on earning and redeeming tickets in the Psychic Frog's Horizon Hideaway article.

The clock is ticking down on your opportunity to grab MTG Arena goodies for playing at your local WPN game store. You have until June 2 to join in on Draft events—one event gets you a card style for High Noon; participate in two events and you add a Goblin card sleeve to your haul; squeeze in a third event and make it a trifecta by earning the last promo during the period: a Draft token!

Get the full details on how to participate in the WPN promotion before it's gone!

Play Chromatic Cube and Flashback Drafts

Modern Horizons 3 is tantalizingly close, but what to do while you wait? If you've already put in your preorders, why not get in some games in the full-spectrum power Chromatic Cube, or get nostalgic with flashback Draft events like the Guilds of Ravnica Premier Draft happening now.

Check the MTG Arena schedule to see what's on deck as we close in on the June 11 release of Modern Horizons 3!
