Mastermind is a Magic Arena-specific format for Magic: The Gathering. The format is not an on-demand format, instead being one exclusive to events.

Description

In this format, players are given a large Singleton deck (180+ cards) and an emblem with the ability:

Mastermind

As long as 0 lands entered the battlefield under your control this turn, and it is your turn, each card in your hand has "Discard this card: Create a colorless land token with ': Add one mana of any color.' Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery."

The format is reminiscent of playing Mental Magic. The deck has no lands and is largely color balanced, leaving it up to the players as to how to approach playing out their hand. The exact decklist varied from event to event.
