Best Precon decks in MTG Arena

When you're new to MTG Arena, creating your own deck is intimidating. Dozens of factors make the best MTG decks work, including removal spells, mana ramp, and card synergy. As a beginner, it's sometimes better to play a preconstructed deck and learn why it works rather than shuffling together 60 cards and hoping it somehow succeeds. Thankfully, MTG Arena provides several starter decks that are both simple and surprisingly powerful. Here are the best preconstructed decks in MTG Arena.

What are the best preconstructed decks in MTG Arena?

Grave Matters (green/black)

Grave Matters is an excellent deck that primarily uses the mill mechanic. Milling causes the top card of your library to enter the graveyard, which increases the power of several creatures in this deck. Grave Matters thrives on buffing the Old Stickfingers card, which gains power equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard. Even so, you should be careful about excessively milling your library. You lose the game if you must draw at the start of your upkeep, but you have no cards in your library to draw.

On the Hunt (green/red)

On the Hunt is a relatively simple deck focusing on creating wolves and buffing their stats. This deck incorporates day/night mechanics that turn human werewolves into their lupine forms. While On the Hunt allows you to pressure your opponent in the early game, it also becomes progressively more powerful over time. With cards like Halana and Alena, Partners, and Packsong Pup, you can place +1/+1 counters on your creatures, making them a force of nature as the game progresses.

Keep the Peace (mono-white)

In the Keep the Peace deck, sustain is the game's name. This deck is focused on life gain and triggering multiple effects at once.
