Achievements
There are six achievements to be won in 2016, and each one is rewarded with a pack from the achievement pool as well as 2 points on the ladder. Challenger is the exception as you do not receive a pack. Each achievement can only be gained once per league year. The achievements available in 2016 are:
Contender: Play in five or more league rounds in 2016. This achievement also makes you eligible to play in the finals.
Soul Reaper: Cause 2 or more opponents to lose 10 or more life in the same turn
Legion: Attack with 20 or more creatures in the same turn
Super Friends: Control four or more planeswalkers (each with a different planeswalker name) at the same time

Kingmaker: Get 3 or more kills in a round without winning that round (Alexis A)

Challenger: Take the melee deck challenge!
