The decks awarded to new and returning players have been updated with Patch 25.6! Returning players who have been away for 90 or more days are eligible for a free deck just for logging in. Returning players can claim these returning decks each time they are eligible. New players are eligible for their free deck after completing the tutorial, the Starter Quest chain, graduating from the New Player Ranks (Ranks 40-1), and then returning to the main menu.

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

The cards in 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 cards are free to all players and are earned by lev...
