If you want more Magic the Gathering guides, stick to Twinfinite. That’s it for our guide to the best ways to start an MTG Arena collection and how to get more cards. In general, only spend Wildcards if you can get or complete a playset (four copies) of the card you are attempting to buy. The one exception is that as you gain more cards, you can begin to spend common and uncommon Wildcards more frivolously. You should generally spend Wildcards extremely cautiously, especially as you begin a collection. Only spend Wildcards when you need to complete a deck you seriously intend to play and only if you can’t find a substitute in your collection.

If you like a card, but don’t have a deck in mind for that card and it doesn’t seem like it will be format relevant then consider opening packs from the set until you get it or drafting until you see it.

You should only spend Wildcards if you want specific cards for a deck or if that card looks like it will be a staple in a format.
