WotC is still on their quest to incentivize players to pick up and play Standard events at FLGS (see "Standard Format's Tabletop Woes"). Now, they are leveraging Magic: The Gathering Arena rewards to get more players to invest in Standard cardboard and play. From August 2-31, 2024, players that participate in up to four in-store Standard events at WPN locations that are participating in the promotion will get one reward in Magic: The Gathering Arena per event played in, as long as they are using their Wizards Account that is connected to Magic: The Gathering Arena to register for the event.
The following online rewards can be earned by players after each event they enter:
-
First event earns one Random Rare card reward from Standard.
-
Second event earns one Random Rare card reward from Standard.
-
Third event earns one Bloomburrow pack and Ral, Crackling Wit card style.
-
Fouth event earns one Bloomburrow Mythic pack.
