The era of 2016Magic: The Gatheringis temporarily back in style forMagic Arenaplayers and it is time to once again draft armies of thopters to swarm the battlefield inKaladesh Limited tournaments. The new remastered version of the popular set is available for a limited time onMagic Arenastarting today and fans of the digital version of the collectible card game can dive into Kaladesh Remastered tournaments for the next few weeks.
This is the second Remastered set to arrive onMagic Arena, afterAmonkhet Remastered, so players had a pretty good idea of what to expect from the tournament offerings and time frame. The Traditional Draft and Sealed tournament are only available for the first week, but the Premier Draft and Draft Challenge will be sticking around a bit longer to continue offering players an alternative to the Zendikar Rising drafts they may be getting used to.

Zendikar Rising just released less than two months ago, but in the lifespan ofMagic: The Gatheringsets, it’s had plenty of time in the spotlight. The next set, Kaldheim, will arrive in January 2021 soMagic Arenaplayers still have some time before a new Standard legal set arrives to take over the spotlight. Until that point arrives, revisiting the old Kaladesh format is a great way to burn through some gold or gems and get in some draft and sealed tournaments throughout November and early December.
Event Record:6 wins or 2 losses (whichever comes first)
6 Wins: 20,000 Gold, 40 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
5 Wins: 15,000 Gold, 30 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
4 Wins: 10,000 Gold, 20 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
3 Wins: 7,500 Gold, 12 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
2 Wins: 4,000 Gold, 6 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
1 Win: 2,000 Gold, 3 Kaladesh Remastered boosters
0 Wins: No Rewards
Entry Fee:3,000 Gems or 15,000 Gold
The tournament entry fees are in line with usual prices, so players won’t be paying too much of a premium for the Remastered cards, unless they decide to repeatedly drop 15,000 Gold on the Draft Challenge, which can get pretty expensive and drain resources quickly if players aren’t pulling down five or six wins consistently.
As always, players can also queue up for casual or ranked Constructed play at any time. Those matches are free and are the primary way lots of players attempt to climb the ranked Constructed ladder all the way up to the Mythic Tier. Reaching that level of play requires a ton of practice, play, and grinding; but is a great way to try and qualify for special tournament invites and prizes in the competitive card game.
Magic Arenais available now for PC and Mac. A mobile version is currently in development.
