March 2023 Season Rewards

Players will receive their rewards for the March 2023 season at the start of the April 2023 Ranked Season (12:05 p.m. PT on March 31).

You must have played at least one ranked game in the respective format to receive seasonal rewards.

The March 2023 Ranked Season on MTG Arena starts February 28, 2023, at 12:05 p.m. PT (19:05 UTC), and ends March 31, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. PT (20:00 UTC).

  • Bronze Reward: 1 Phyrexia: All Will Be One pack
  • Silver Reward: 1 Phyrexia: All Will Be One pack + 500 Gold
  • Gold Reward: 2 Phyrexia: All Will Be One packs + 1,000 Gold + Ossification card style
  • Platinum Reward: 3 Phyrexia: All Will Be One packs + 1,000 Gold + Ossification card style + Dragonwing Glider card style

  • Mythic Reward: 5 Phyrexia: All Will Be One packs + 1,000 Gold + Ossification card style + Dragonwing Glider card style

As a reminder, card styles are a cosmetic option only and do not add any cards to a player's collection. There is no benefit to acquiring a card style more than once; if you achieve Gold Rank or higher in both Limited and Constructed, you will only receive one copy of the card style.

Qualifier Weekend Invitation

Players who finish in the top 250 of Mythic-ranked competitors will qualify to participate in the Qualifier Weekend shown below. Matches that finish prior to 12:00 p.m. PT (UTC-08:00*) on March 31, 2023, will count toward final season ranking for March, which determines invitations to the April Qualifier Weekend.

Qualifier Play-Ins

Players can earn the Qualifier Token for entry to a Qualifier Weekend by reaching maximum wins in a single course of a Play-In event that feeds that Qualifier Weekend.

There are typically two Qualifier Play-Ins each month:

  • A Best-of-One event is held on Saturday, seven days before Qualifier Weekend.
  • A Best-of-Three event is held on Friday, the day before Qualifier Weekend.

Learn more on the Qualifier Play-In Information page.

Information on what the Qualifier Weekend feeds, its format, and other details are available on the Qualifier Weekend Information page.
