March of the Machine Arena Direct opens with physical booster box prizes

Wizards' September Arena Direct uses Best-of-One Sealed, with physical booster boxes for six or seven wins and territory restrictions.

A new Arena Direct event opens in MTG Arena on 25 September at 15:00 UTC, bringing March of the Machine back as a Best-of-One Sealed competition. Each entry costs 6,000 gems. Wizards lists digital gems and packs for three through five wins, while six wins earns one physical booster box and seven wins earns two, subject

to availability and the event rules. The detailed timetable says signups close on 28 September at 15:00 UTC and the event ends at 18:00 UTC, or earlier if the entry limit is reached. The page headline instead says “September 25–27”, so players should check the in-game event timer before entering near the deadline. No

new matches begin after the listed end time. Physical prizes require an eligible shipping location, a current Wizards account, and an entrant aged at least 18. Winners receive claim instructions by email and have 90 days after the event to complete the claim. The official terms linked from the event page govern

eligibility, taxes and possible prize substitution; readers should review them before spending gems. Headline image: official Arena Direct promotional artwork, Wizards of the Coast.
