MTG Arena Ranks Explained: Every Rank from Bronze to Mythic

Magic: The Gathering Arena (MTG Arena) has six ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Mythic. The first five each have four tiers. Constructed and Limited have separate ladders, and a new season starts every month.

This guide covers every rank in order, how many steps a win is worth, where you land after the season reset, what the rewards are and how the Top 250 works. Current as of 30 October 2026, based on Wizards of the Coast.

All MTG Arena ranks in order

Bronze Tier 4 is the starting point, Mythic is the highest rank. Within a rank you climb from Tier 4 to Tier 1, so Bronze Tier 1 is followed by Silver Tier 4. Mythic has no tiers. Instead, the game shows a percentage and, at the very top, your leaderboard position.

1. 06 Mythic percentage · position from Top 1 · 200
2. 05 Diamond 4–1
3. 04 Platinum 4–1
4. 03 Gold 4–1
5. 02 Silver 4–1
6. 01 Bronze 4–1

That is 20 tiers from Bronze Tier 4 to Mythic. Once you reach a rank, Wizards says you won't drop back to the rank below until the next season reset. You can still lose tiers within that rank.

Constructed and Limited: two separate ladders

You have two ranks at the same time in MTG Arena: one for Constructed (your own deck) and one for Limited (draft). You can be Gold in Constructed and Silver in Limited.

According to Wizards' current season page, these events count as ranked:

The available drafts rotate every few days or weeks. In November 2026, Wizards lists Premier Draft Reality Fracture (until 1 December) and, from 10 November, Premier Draft Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek, among others.

How many steps is a win worth?

Each tier is made up of several steps (the small pips in the client). Collect enough and you move up a tier. In patch notes 2024.40, Wizards confirmed that Bronze through Gold give two steps per win. Wizards doesn't publish a complete, current table. The Constructed Bo1 values below come from matching community overviews (Draftsim, MTG Arena Zone, Esports on SI):

So you can't lose anything in Bronze. In Silver and Gold you climb with a win rate just above one in three. From Platinum on, you need more wins than losses.

According to Draftsim, Bo3 (Traditional) matches are worth two steps per win and per loss from Silver to Diamond, including Platinum and Diamond. In Limited, Draftsim says a tier takes 4 steps in Bronze and 5 steps from Silver up. Check the exact display in the client, as Wizards can change these values.

Mythic: percentage and position

Once you reach Mythic, steps are gone. According to Wizards, each win raises your percentage. When you're among the top 1,200 players, the game shows your position instead. That position can move even while you're not playing, because it's always relative to everyone else.

The Top 250 Mythic players in Constructed or Limited at the end of a season qualify for the following month's Qualifier Weekend. Only matches finished before 12 p.m. PT on the last day of the season count. According to Wizards, the next Qualifier Weekend is on 19–20 December 2026 in Pioneer, with invites from the November 2026 season.

Seasons: start and end

A season in MTG Arena lasts one month. According to Wizards:

Season reset: where you start after the month ends

At the reset, your Constructed and Limited ranks drop. Where you land depends on your rank at the end of the season. Wizards' current season page lists the values up to Gold Tier 1. The values from Platinum on come from Wizards' official overview on magic.gg, which is identical up to Gold Tier 1:

Finish a season in Mythic and you start the next one in Platinum Tier 4.

End-of-season rewards

Rewards arrive at the start of the next season. According to Wizards, you need at least one ranked game in that format to qualify. The November 2026 season pays out Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek packs:

Constructed and Limited rewards are paid separately. You only get each card style once, though, even if you reach Gold or higher on both ladders. Wizards notes that card styles are cosmetic only.

For new players: Spark Rank

Brand-new players don't go straight into Bronze. In 2023, Wizards added Spark Rank as an entry tier. You play other new players with similar decks there, and since patch 2024.40 every win gives two steps. After that you continue in Bronze as normal. According to Wizards, experienced players can skip the tutorial under Account in the settings.

Tips for climbing

• Bronze is risk-free: losses don't cost steps, so it's the place to test new decks.
• Win rate matters from Platinum: with one step per win and one per loss, you only move up above a 50% win rate.
• Consider Bo3 from Platinum: according to Draftsim, a Bo3 win is worth two steps there instead of one. A loss costs two as well.
• Play before the season ends: one ranked game per format is enough for the reward. Reach Gold and you also get a card style.
• Aim for Gold Tier 3 before the reset: from there, the table puts you in Silver instead of Bronze.
