How To Create An MTG Arena Account - Registering A New Account

Arena is the premiere place to play Standard, Historic, Explorer, Draft, and Sealed MTG online. Today, I'll cover where to download Arena, how to create a new MTG Arena account, and answer some frequently asked questions. Without further ado, let's get started.

How To Create A New MTG Arena Account

Step 1 - Download Arena

First things first, you'll need to download Arena on your device if you don't already have it- You can do that here. The download options include PC, MAC, Steam, Android, and IOS.

After following the link above, you can find these options at the top right of the screen. Download the appropriate one for your device.

Step 2 - Accept Terms & Conditions And Install

After opening the MTGAInstaller in your downloads, you'll be prompted to select your start-up language and accept the terms and conditions. Once that's done, the download will begin and should only take a few minutes.

Creating A New Account

Here's a step-by-step walkthrough on how to create a new MTG Arena account.

Step 1 - Confirm Birthday & Country

Once in Arena, you must enter your birthday, Country/Region, and experience level. It's worth noting that you must be at least 13 years old to register an account.

Step 2 - Choose Display Name, Email Address and Password

Next, you'll need to choose a "display name," which will show up to other players in the game. Display names must be between 3-24 characters long. Once you've picked your name, you can't change it without contacting WOTC with a very good reason. So, be sure to pick something you're happy with. It's also worth mentioning that you should avoid vulgar or inappropriate names - Even if they allow you to use the name initially, it can get you banned later.

After you've picked a name, you'll need to enter your email address. Be sure to use one you can get into to confirm your account. Lastly, you'll need to create and confirm a password.

Passwords must contain:

• eight characters total
• one lower-case character
• one upper-case character.

And they must not contain:

• your exact display name
• your email address
• the same character repeated three or more times

Lastly, you'll see a box where you can confirm permission for WOTC to send you promotional emails and offers. I recommend you accept, as they often have some pretty nice perks. Once that's done, click submit, and you'll be whisked away to the tutorial to learn some of the Arena basics.

MTG Arena - Frequently Asked Questions

Is MTG Arena Free?

Yes, Arena is free to download and play. However, you can spend money to buy cosmetics and other things in-game if you want.

Can You Change Your Display Name?

Technically, yes. It is possible to change your display name once you've created your account. However, this is usually only allowed in special cases like typos. You'll need to contact Wizards Arena support here to submit a request.

Can You Have Multiple Arena Accounts?

You can. You can create as many Arena accounts as you want, but you'll need unique display names and emails for each. However, you won't be able to share recourses or cards between accounts, so it's usually better to stick to one account. Furthermore, entering big events with multiple accounts can get you into trouble, so don't do that.
