How expensive is MTG Arena?
MTG Arena is free-to-play, which means you can start without spending a dime! However, if you wanna get ahead faster or collect more cards, you can buy in-game currency for booster packs, event entries, and cosmetic items. It's pretty much up to you how much you spend.

Honestly, it depends on your patience level. You can grind it out without spending anything, but if you're like me and want the best cards ASAP, you'll end up spending more than you initially planned. Totally worth it if you're competitive.
MTG Arena itself won't cost you anything to download and play. You can earn cards and packs through playing, but real talk, dropping some cash can speed up building a competitive deck. Think of it like any other free game - free to start, pay to get the good stuff faster.
You don't HAVE to spend money, but let's be real, to keep up and have the full experience, you're gonna want to. It's not that it's super expensive, but it's easy to get caught up wanting the latest decks or cool cosmetics.
