I’ve added them to the spreadsheet in their own tab because they are not Standard-legal. Strixhaven Mystical ArchivesĪccording to Wizards of the Coast, every pack will have a card from the Archives in it. Cards from Kaladesh Remastered because I haven’t had time to add it inįor more detailed instructions on how the spreadsheet works make sure to refer back to the older articles linked above.Cards from Jumpstart because collecting that set is a unique process.Any card that couldn’t be opened in a booster pack.Note that this spreadsheet is not a complete representation of the cards available on MTG Arena. You can either copy the Introduction, STX, HA4, and STA tabs from the new sheet and add them to your existing sheet, or make a copy of the new sheet and just copy your tabs for other sets you’re tracking into it. If you already have a previous version of the sheet, I think how you want to incorporate this into your own existing sheets is entirely up to you. This will fill my inbox up with requests for access but that’s okay because it just reminds me how much you all love me. I know some of you aren’t listening and will try to edit the sheet even though it’s locked. If you’re new to this, then click on that link, and then Make a Copy. Now, here’s a link to the latest version of the tracking spreadsheet.

In that case, you’d be better off buying packs from the store instead of drafting. For Strixhaven, this means if you have already opened about 100 rares, unless you’re very good at drafting, you’ll be running a risk of finishing with negative value. If you’ve opened 30% of the rares already then your odds of breaking even of draft are no longer going to be very good. For Zendikar Rising it took me about three weeks to collect the entire set starting with just the $100 (+tax) I spent on the bundles and then playing about 20 premier drafts.īefore we get into the spreadsheet itself, one of the most frequently asked questions is, I already opened a bunch of packs from this set, can I start following this method now? This depends on how many rares you already have.

This gives me a nice head start thanks to the free drafts and the mastery pass packs. Since I can afford it, I always buy the two bundles before a set releases. I’ve used this method successfully going back to Throne of Eldraine. For the remainder of the year I will provide incremental updates and refer back to the older articles. My general plan is to provide an in-depth walkthrough of the process only once a year when Standard rotates, because its the best time to get started. I’m not going to get into too much detail on the actual mechanics because you can check that out in the Free to Play Guide for Zendikar Rising. Thanks to the way duplicate protection works on Arena, and the various costs of packs and different events, the best EV (expected value) in Arena is drafting. Lastly, we’ll talk about Mystical Archives and how they may or may not affect your process. Next, we’ll review the spreadsheet I’ve created to help you track your progress.

First, we’ll go over the general philosophy for efficiently collecting Strixhaven cards.
