How does MTG Arena handle cards over 4?
You can't use more than 4 of the same card in a deck, end of story. That's the rule both in paper Magic and MTG Arena. It keeps the game balanced.

As a long-time MTG player, the 4-copy rule is golden. MTG Arena treats your 5th card as a chance to contribute towards something cool, like opening the Vault. It's like getting a bonus for already winning.
In MTG Arena, you can have more than 4 of a card in your collection, but you can only include up to 4 copies of any non-basic land card in a single deck. This follows the same rule as paper Magic. However, if you draft or open packs and get a 5th copy, it's not a waste! MTG Arena has a system called the Vault. For every 5th copy of a common or uncommon card, you receive progress towards unlocking the Vault, which gives you wildcards.
