Not to be confused with Core Set 2021/Arena Starter Kit.

The 2021 Arena Starter Kit is a 2-Player Starter Set for Magic: The Gathering that was released on August 6, 2021.^[1]

Description

The Arena Starter Kit (in previous editions known as the Spellslinger Starter Kit) is a learn-to-play product aimed at new players, including instructional materials that guide two players through their first game. It is sold in local game stores and mass market stores for about $8,--. The two face cards are given the foil treatment. The decks feature cards from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, Strixhaven: School of Mages, Kaldheim and Zendikar Rising. Unlike its predecessor, this is not connected to a core set, leading to a confusing name compared to the starter kit connected to Core Set 2021.

Versions

The Amazon exclusive version of the Starter Kit (blue box) features Oran-Rief Ooze and Mind Flayer as its face cards. The version available at local game stores and big-box stores (orange box) features Cyclone Summoner and Dragonsguard Elite as its face cards. There are no other differences. The decklists are still the same.
