New Player Experience

New Player Experience (NPE) is a series of scripted tutorial games and quests to teach new players the basic rules and mechanics of Magic: The Gathering Arena.

The NPE was introduced to Arena with the Core Set 2019 update on July 12, 2018. It also included the very first exclusive cards in the game.

Tutorial games
The NPE started off with five tutorial games against different computer-controlled opponents. Each completed game rewarded the player with cards. Successfully completing all games unlocked five mono-colored Starting Decks.
