Magic: The Gathering Arena - Free Download & Working Codes

ⓘ

MTG Arena is a download client, not a browser game — install it from the official Wizards of the Coast site or the iOS/Android app stores. Only download from those sources; third-party "Arena" installers are not the real game.

The Hobbit riddle codes — free cards + Bilbo avatar

A riddle chain in your in-game inbox awards a card and borderless style per answer. Enter each answer as a code; finishing all eight and saving a deck named Riddles in the Dark containing them unlocks a Bilbo avatar.

Riddle answer (enter as code)	Reward
`Mountain`	The Mountain-king's Return card + borderless style
`Teeth`	Gnashing of Teeth card + borderless style
`Wind`	Velvetwing Butterflies card + borderless style
`Darkness`	Gathering of Darkness card + borderless style
`Egg`	Well-Worn Spatula card + borderless style
`Fish`	Lake-town Mariners card + borderless style
`Time`	Stone by Sunlight card + borderless style
`Precious`	My Precious rare card + borderless style

Note: the deck you name "Riddles in the Dark" only needs to contain the eight reward cards — it does not have to be a legal deck or have 60 cards.

How to redeem a code

The in-client field is desktop-only — on mobile you redeem through the Wizards account website instead.

1
PC / Mac
Open MTG Arena and go to the Store tab. Paste the code into the redemption field in the top-right corner and confirm — packs and cards land in your collection (newer rewards arrive via the Player Inbox).
2
iOS / Android
The mobile app has no code field. Log into your Wizards of the Coast account on their website and redeem there; the rewards appear next time you open the app.
3
Exact spelling
Codes are case-sensitive with no spaces — copy them exactly as written, e.g. PlayDMUAlchemy, not playdmualchemy.

FAQ

Is Magic: The Gathering Arena free?

Yes — the client is free to download and play. You earn cards through play, and optional purchases exist but the entire core game works without spending.

Can you play MTG Arena in a browser?

No — it is a downloadable client for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. The only official source is Wizards of the Coast's own site and the app stores.

Do MTG Arena codes expire?

Some do, but the set promo codes above have stayed live for years — redeem them all on a new account to be safe. A failed code just shows an error; nothing is lost.

Are MTG Arena codes once per account?

Yes, each code redeems once per account. There is also a cap on how many codes you can enter in a short window, so paste them a few at a time.

What is the difference between Arena and Magic Online?

Arena is the modern free-to-play client with newer sets and slick presentation; Magic Online (MTGO) is the older paid client covering the full card history.
