Midweek Magic: Gladiator Spotlight was a phantom preconstructed event held from May 20 to 21, 2025 on Magic: The Gathering Arena[1][2]. While Gladiator is normally played Best-of-three, for this Midweek Magic event it was Best-of-one.

The decklists for the event were finalised before the release of Tarkir: Dragonstorm, so they reflect the meta of the format before that set.
