Wizards of the Coast has been consistently improving and upgrading the CCG Magic: The Gathering Arena. The latest update for the game is themed around the improvement of the closed beta test, which has opened up to 100,000 more players, increasing the total size of the player count for the beta.
According to the official Magic: The Gathering website, 100,000 more players have been invited into the closed beta test. The codes are being sent out over the course of several weeks, giving gamers access to the closed beta.
In addition to the invites being sent out, there’s also an all new test collection that the developers will be working on. The test collection will be available for CBT participants, which includes 10 pre-constructed decks. Keep in mind that in order to test out the effectiveness of these decks, it means completely wiping out the current deck data that closed beta testers have been using thus far. In fact, the post notes that there will be a full account wipe when the new starting collections are applied to the latest closed beta version.
Special cards like Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation have also been added to Magic: The Gathering Arena, allowing players to make use of the unique strategies that come along with those cards.
The new starting decks will consist of more than 300 unique cards from the Magic: The Gathering universe, this includes a rare new wildcard, two uncommon wildcards, and four common wildcards.
