Arcane 101 Guide

The eight lands, in the order you meet them

The listing says eight lands; the badge list names nine clearable places. That is not a contradiction — the list includes a court and a labyrinth inside the later regions.

Quick answer

The badge names give you the order for free: Forest, Frostfang Pass, Sunken Dunes, Drowned Tide, Galecrag, then Ashen Caldera, Blightroot Hollow, Gambit Court, Labyrinth of Legends.

The game's own listing says 8 lands. The badge list names nine clearable places. Both are true: the badge list includes content that sits inside the later regions, so the count of regions and the count of clear-badges are not the same number.

Here is the order, taken from the sequence of clear badges and from the group's own list of regions.

Where the "eight lands" number comes from

The developer's group description names five regions directly: the Forest, Frostfang Pass, the Sunken Dunes, the Tides, and the Galecrag. The game's listing gives the total as eight lands.

The badge list names four places beyond the Galecrag — Ashen Caldera, Blightroot Hollow, Gambit Court, Labyrinth of Legends — which is one more than the "eight lands" figure allows for if you simply add them to five.

Two readings are consistent with all the evidence:

  • The badge list includes sub-areas. "Gambit Court" and "Labyrinth of Legends" read like interiors rather than regions, which would put the region count at eight (Forest, Frostfang, Dunes, Tides, Galecrag, Caldera, Blightroot, plus the raid).
  • The list is simply complete and the marketing number is rounded. "8 lands" is a clean number for a store page.

The raid

The listing names the Abyssal Warden at "the bottom of the raid". The badge list has no badge for it. That means either:

  • the raid's clear badge has not been created yet, or
  • the raid is cleared by a number of players small enough that we cannot see it in the badge set, or
  • the raid is reached through the Labyrinth of Legends without its own badge.

The Labyrinth badge at 52 players is the smallest map badge, so the raid — if it sits beyond the Labyrinth — is held by fewer than 52 players. That is consistent with all three explanations and we cannot distinguish between them.

The shape of the map ladder

Two things are worth knowing before you start:

  1. The second land is the wall. 24.1% of players who clear the Forest clear the second land. Every other step retains 46–59%. See Frostfang Pass.
  2. The last step is small-sample noise. 52 players, with a badge created on 8 November 2026. Do not plan around its percentage; see the retention curve.

The order to play them in

The order above is the play order — the badges are monotonic, so no land is skippable. What you control is the preparation between them:

  1. Forest — clear it around level 8–10, then stop. See level pace.
  2. Frostfang Pass — level to 10–12, one card at a high tier, second damage element. Checklist.
  3. Sunken Dunes onward — half of players clear each step, so expect a grind rather than a wall. Keep upgrading one card per land.
  4. The endgame ladders (Insane, Mythic, the endless depths) are parallel, not sequential — 8,732 players cleared an area on Insane while only 6,601 cleared the third land. See Mythic and Insane.
