Wizards has announced five new Standard Champion Decks for the MTG Arena store, available from October 16 through November 9. The October 12 Arena update names the lists and gives their advertised gem prices, offering a concrete set of entry points into the post–Reality Fracture format.
The selection covers Planeswalker Control at 13,050 gems, Cleric Life Gain at 13,820, Lizard Aggro at 9,870, Kona Combo at 17,450 and Eerie Aggro at 2,570. These are the prices shown in the announcement, rather than a promise about what an individual account’s checkout will charge. Players should inspect the in-client offer and their existing collection before committing resources.
The featured cards show how the decks differ. Planeswalker Control includes The Theorist, Jace Beleren, Jace’s Machinations and Jace, Reality Sculptor. Cleric Life Gain highlights Liliana the Faultless and Amalia Benavides Aguirre, while Lizard Aggro features Gev, Scaled Scorch and Ingris Stingerquill. Kona Combo points toward Kona, Rescue Beastie and Omniscience; Eerie Aggro uses enchantment payoffs such as Optimistic Scavenger and Ethereal Armor.
The practical value is the choice of five distinct plans in a defined sales window, not a claim that every list is equally competitive. The large price spread makes comparing contents especially important. These are digital Standard products, separate from paper Commander precons and from the new Alchemy cards launching this week.
