ArcaneMetriX Games

ArcaneMetriX Games is a set of free daily Magic: The Gathering puzzles, separate from the deckbuilding app. Open it from the Games action button on the Home page, or from Games in your user menu.

A free account is all you need to play! Sign in to track your scores and streaks.

Chain Forge

Each puzzle is a chain of card names where the last word of one card starts the name of the next. Some entries in the chain are revealed as clues; you fill in the hidden ones as fast as you can.

  • Scored up to 10,000 points, weighted by how quickly you complete the chain.
  • The timer starts the moment you click Begin Puzzle. It pauses if you navigate away, but it never resets so you can always finish a puzzle you started earlier that day.

Specter

A hidden card is described through up to seven progressive clues, revealed one at a time. Type a guess after each clue.

  • Guessing correctly on an earlier clue scores higher; the formula is (8 - clues used) x 1,000.
  • Guesses are checked as you submit them, so you always know immediately whether you found the card.

Art Sleuth

A card’s illustration is shown zoomed in and gradually zooms out across five stages. Guess the card name after each stage.

  • Guessing correctly on an earlier stage scores higher; the formula is (6 - stage used) x 2,000.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard tab ranks players separately for Chain Forge, Specter, and Art Sleuth, plus a Combined ranking across all three. Toggle between Daily standings and All-Time totals.

Playing Past Puzzles

By default, you can only play the current day’s puzzle for each game. PRO members get a calendar on each game’s start screen for jumping back to any previous day’s puzzle they haven’t finished. Scores from past puzzles still count toward your all-time leaderboard total.


Tip

Chain Forge, Specter, and Art Sleuth all reset at the start of a new day (Pacific time), so there’s a fresh puzzle to solve every day.
