[2022] Updated Free Decks for New and Returning Players

The decks awarded to new and returning players have been updated with Patch 24.0! As a reminder, returning players who have been away for 120 or more days will be prompted with a deck grant right after they log in. New players will be granted their starter deck after completing the tutorial, the Starter Quest quest chain, graduating from the New Player Ranks (Ranks 40-1), and then returning to the main menu.

New with Patch 24.0, returning players will be able to claim these returning decks each time they are away for 120 or more days, instead of just once per account!

It’s possible players may not see their chosen deck in their deck lists if they do not have an open deck slot when they choose their free deck. The cards for the deck (aside from Core Set cards) will still be added to their collections, so they can clear a deck slot and use the deck codes below to construct the decks. Core Set cards are free to all players and are earned by leveling your account.

Enjoy, and we’ll see you in the Tavern!

I appreciate the civility–and the passion for your best class representation!–but let’s try to keep threads on-topic, please. To your underlying point, I have no control over the avatars, but I will ask around and see if there’s anything to be done.

This forum post was just updated with the new specifics. Part 2 of the post will be the rule as of patch 24.6 patch going live. When you read those specifics, you’ll see your situation you just described would be fine.

The decks awarded to new and returning players have been updated with Patch 25.0! Returning players who have been away for 90 or more days will be eligible for a free deck just for logging in. Returning players will be eligible to claim these returning decks each time they are eligible. New players will be eligible for their free deck after completing the tutorial, the Starter Quest quest chain, graduating from the New Player Ranks (Ranks 40-1), and then returning to the main menu.

Players will get to borrow all these decks for one week following their eligibility, so they can try them all out before making their choice.

It’s possible players may not see their chosen deck in their deck lists if they do not have an open deck slot when they choose their free deck. The cards for the deck (aside from the Core Set cards) will still be added to their Collections. They can clear a deck slot and use the deck codes below to construct the decks. Core Set cards are free to all players and are earned by leveling your account. Cards may be added to, or removed from, the free Core Set from time to time and are not a permanent part of players’ Collections.
