273-275 - Arena Decathlon
The Arena Decathlon event, more info HERE, was a series of 5 multi-day events, consisting of 10 different game play modes, spread out from December 18, 2021 through January 1, 2022. Each event cost 400 gems / 2,000 gold. Depending on the event, you would play to a total of either 5 or 7 wins, giving you the maximum reward payout plus a unique Decathlon token based on which of the 10 game modes you played. These tokens showed up in the top status bar of Arena next to where the Player Draft tokens would sit and were orange in color. Those that collected at least 8 different unique Decathlon tokens would be eligible to enter the Arena Decathlon Finals, which was held on January 8, 2022, for even greater rewards, including a grand prize of a complete set of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.
These sleeves all had very generic names, so we shall wait and see if they gain new names if they ever show up as a Daily Deal in the future.

473 - Golden Goblet
Golden Goblet, unknown illustrator, was rewarded to all players who entered the Dec 4, 2021 Arena Open. I am not sure if this is a crop of a card or a custom art piece.
Found 9/24/22 - Why is this one out of numbering order? Because it was almost a year later before anyone realized it was released. Thanks to keen eyed fan, they saw an opponent playing with it and had never seen it before, and did not see it on the gallery. After they contacted me, I couldn't find it either and had to do more research until I found it. And almost a year later, here it is. |

Why is Arena Hiding the Daily Deal Sleeve?
As of the Sept 16 update, all sleeves or other non-card style items, are being put at the end of the daily deal list. They no longer show up on the main store page in the daily deal section as the showcase item.
The most obvious guess for this change is so it requires players to click the daily deal itself and scroll through all of the items to see if there is anything besides card styles available.
While this is nothing majorly game changing, it does add a slight inconvenience now. Players will need to be aware of this so they can make sure to click on the daily deal each day and scroll through all the items so they don't miss out on sleeves, avatars, etc.

242 - NO CARD
Transforming Arlinn Exquisite was rewarded to players who reached level 50 of the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Mastery Pass. I am not sure who illustrated this, and I have no other information other than an image I found on Wizard's site HERE. It was most likely used for promotional purposes.
4/13/2022- Available as a Daily Deal for 900 gems / 4500 gold. (25% off) |
This was originally labeled as card 242, but after seeing it on sale in the Area Store, I was able to finally see that this was the exquisite transforming animation for the Transforming Arlinn card.
This artwork appears on the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt physical draft booster box. The asset title is "CardBack_MID_KeyArt_Arlinn_W" |
