MTG Arena February 2023 Free Packs: How to Get
Magic: The Gathering's newest set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, debuted at pre-release events across the country over the weekend and arrived on Arena yesterday. The set is already shaping up to be a powerful one that could shake up multiple online and paper formats. Here's how to get a head start on "completing" your All Will Be One Collection.
Phyrexia: All Will Be One introduced a number of new mechanics and reintroduced some long-absent from the game. Poison Counters, an alternate win-condition that has occasionally shown up on recent cards but hasn't been a mechanical mainstay for more than a decade, returns in the form of the Toxic mechanic. Also returning is Proliferate, a way to multiply counters of all kinds and quickly boost your board.
Just because your work takes place on a plane full of horrors and poison doesn't mean you can't enjoy your work.

MTG Arena February 2023 Free Packs: How to Get
Fans familiar to Arena might be wondering what All Will Be One's "Play" code is. Historically, WOTC has released a code that can be redeemed for three free packs for each set release under the formula "Play(Set Code)" but such a code does not exist for All Will Be One. Instead, WOTC is using Arena's new in-game messaging system to give out the free packs.
To redeem the packs, all one has to do is go the message envelope in the main menu and navigate to the newest message. The title is in Phyrexian, the wholly-invented language of the mechanical villains, so it's easy to miss. At the bottom of the message is a button labeled "Claim." Once clicked, three free All Will Be One packs will be added to your inventory. These packs do contribute to the Wildcard tracks but not the Golden Pack track.
With these free packs, you'll be able to start collecting the powerful cards of All Will Be One and either join or resist the sinister Phyrexian agenda.
