War of the Spark Chronicles is Coming to MTG Arena

Wizards of the Coast released details today for War of the Spark Chronicles, a free multi-week event for Magic: The Gathering Arena where players can explore the history of Magic: The Gathering and earn exclusive cosmetic rewards in the process.

Taking place from May 23rd to June 28th, War of the Spark Chronicles will provide MTG Arena players the opportunity to play through five key moments in Magic's history, each complete with a specific play format. As players rack up wins, they'll unlock exclusive stained-glass card style variations of Planeswalkers from War of the Spark. Other stained-glass variants will be available in the store. And, for fans and followers of Magic lore and history, each Planeswalker card will provide additional story and background.
