Setting Expectations: The First Few Weeks

2019-03-29T09:21:19Z

Spanargoman: /* Basic Routines & Good Habits */

== Overview ==
This guide intends to help you figure out how to make the best of your ''[[Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest|MtGPQ]]'' experience. It aims to help you navigate the various pitfalls which a newer player will face and give you a better idea of what to expect for your time and effort.

== Basic Routines & Good Habits ==
There are a few straightforward tasks which everyone should try to complete:
* Collect your Daily Rewards (scroll down on the main screen all the way to the bottom)
* Collect your Free Booster (refreshes every 6 hours and is found in the Vault)
* Win 4 games in each [[Training Grounds]] (TG) every day for {{crystals|20}} and some Runes (TG is found on the Events page)
* Play through [[Portal:Story|Story]] mode to get a feel of the game and to earn some Crystals {{crystals}} and Runes {{runes}}
* In particular, play through the Story Mode Training introducing new set mechanics to get the free [[Card|cards]] from completing the training
* Try to participate in [[Portal:Events|Events]] to the best of your abilities
* Do NOT join [[Trial of the Planes]] (as a new player, unless it's on the {{crystals|30}} discounted entry fee offer)
* Play [[Rising Tensions]] when available on Mondays to Saturday and get at least 1 win for the [[Guilds of Ravnica]] / [[Ravnica Allegiance]] booster pack but ideally hit maximum Progression for the exclusive Mythic
* Do not spend your Jewels {{jewels}} (yet)
* Save your UID somewhere (this is the number at the bottom of the Settings page and is greatly important for recovering your account in case anything bad happens) or better yet, take a screenshot of the Settings page

The unfortunate fact is that MtGPQ has a few pitfalls which can drastically worsen a new player’s play experience. The ones to highlight are:
* Spending your in-game currency on obtaining the wrong cards
* Levelling your [[Portal:Planeswalkers|planeswalker]] too quickly or levelling the wrong planeswalker
* Moving up the Colour Mastery tiers too quickly
* The ‘Wall’

Always bear in mind that your chances of victory will be influenced by a multitude of factors. These include your [[card]] collection, your [[Portal:Planeswalkers|planeswalker]] collection, your Colour Mastery tier, your opponents and RNGesus. The main factors you can control are your card and planeswalker collection, and your Colour Mastery tier.

With that in mind, we will first cover the significance of the distinction between [[Standard]] and [[Legacy]], followed by suggestions how to spend your in-game currencies, an overview on Colour Mastery, and what the ‘Wall’ is. Hopefully after reading through the next few sections, you will understand why the aforementioned points are pitfalls and how to avoid them. That will then be followed by looking at the value of spending money in this game and some useful statistics on card drop rates to round off the general areas one should know about in MtGPQ.

== Standard and Legacy ==
In MtGPQ, there are [[Standard]] and [[Legacy]] events. Standard events are restricted to cards from [[Origins]] and the sets from the two newest MtG years. The MtG year starts from the Fall release, so when the next Fall set is released, the oldest four sets will rotate out of Standard.

For example, the Fall sets of the current two years in Standard rotation are [[Ixalan]] and [[Guilds of Ravnica]]. When the Fall set of 2019 is released in MtGPQ, [[Ixalan]] and the other three sets in its year ([[Rivals of Ixalan]], [[Dominaria]], and [[Core Set 2019]]) will rotate altogether out of Standard.

When you tap the info button for each event, Standard events will have a display circling the sets which are valid. Legacy events will not. Also, Legacy events and card packs will have a blue banner on the top left. Note that all cards from Free Boosters will be from Standard sets.

== In-Game Currency and What to Spend On ==
There are 4 primary currencies in MtGPQ. <br \>
'''Runes {{runes}}:''' These are used for levelling your planeswalkers. They are also used for unlocking an additional deck slot when your planeswalker is at level 60.<br \>
'''Crystals {{crystals}}:''' This is your primary currency for obtaining new cards. Crystals are used for purchasing most card packs, for purchasing [[Planeswalkers]] and as the entry fee for [[Trial of the Planes]] and [[Rising Tensions]]. Deck slots can also be purchased with Crystals. Once in a blue moon there may be special offers which can be purchased using Crystals.<br \>
'''Jewels {{jewels}}:''' This is the currency designated by the developers for end-game players to have an easier path to pursue the [[Card pack#Rarities|Mythics]] and [[Card pack#Rarities|Masterpieces]] available in-game. They are used mainly for purchasing packs from the Masterpiece Collection although there are occasionally special offers available for purchase by Jewels.<br \>
'''Orbs {{orbs}} (shown on the Booster Crafting page):''' This is the currency that enables everyone to eventually work towards a complete collection. Whenever you open a duplicate card, they are automatically converted into Orbs and Runes.

=== What should I spend on? ===
==== Crystals {{crystals}}====
When players ask what they should be spending on, they are typically asking about what to spend their Crystals on. Whether to spend on [[Card|cards]] or [[Portal:Planeswalkers|planeswalkers]] first, and which set to focus on getting cards from. There are varying opinions on what to spend on first, but I’ll set out my personal recommendations as follows:

# If you don’t have a decent collection of cards to work with, having strong planeswalkers will not help you all that much. So at the very beginning, focus on procuring cards first. Also coalition events usually have secondary objectives which are better achieved by cards from the latest set. Coupled with the power creep in the game, it is typically better to be purchasing cards from the latest set (or two).
# Most events have nodes which require planeswalkers of certain colours. If you don’t have a planeswalker of the required colour you can’t participate, depriving you of the chance to earn progression and ranking rewards. Although the Origins planeswalkers are rather weak overall, their {{crystals|50}} cost can be recouped rather quickly through the additional rewards you will earn from being able to participate more in events. The caveat is that you should at least have decent cards in the colour of the planeswalker which you are getting as planeswalkers can only use Colourless cards plus cards of their own colour(s).
# Other mono-colour planeswalkers cost {{crystals|295}} whereas dual-colour planeswalkers cost {{crystals|650}} . Colourless and tri-colour planeswalkers cost {{crystals|850}}. Either of which will take a long time for a new player to accumulate and will still only allow you to participate in one node as you can’t assign a single planeswalker to multiple nodes. If however, you have plenty of Crystals (whether through hoarding or spending money) you can consider to skip straight to better planeswalkers depending on which of the better ones are available in the Vault. Not all {{crystals|295}} or {{crystals|650}} planeswalkers are worth spending on. Check [[Portal:Planeswalkers|Planeswalkers]] for more information.
# When you have a decent card collection and planeswalkers to contest in all colours, then options start opening up for you. You may choose to get stronger planeswalkers, or cards from other sets which you have less of, or even choose to save up in preparation of upcoming planeswalkers or the next expansion.

==== Runes {{runes}} ====
On Runes, levelling up your planeswalkers will unlock abilities and improve stats. The trade-off is that matchmaking for PvP is based on planeswalker level so you are likely to face more challenging opponents. There is no single best rule on how to level your planeswalkers, but the general consensus is that there is no rush to level them to the max level of 60.

== Colour Mastery and Why It Matters ==
Colour Mastery is both a boon and a trap. Its intention was to differentiate players of different skill levels to allow players to compete with others of similar levels by splitting everyone into 4 tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. You earn Colour Mastery points by using a card repeatedly in your decks, with [[Card pack#Rarities|Common]] ({{Rarity|C|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Uncommon]] ({{Rarity|U|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Rare]] ({{Rarity|R|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Mythic]] ({{Rarity|M|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Masterpiece]] ({{Rarity|MP|18}}) giving 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 16 Mastery points when mastered to the colour(s) of the card (or half the points to all colours if Colourless) respectively. However, the implementation was not done in the best of ways.

Consequently, what happens is that players are lured by the prospect of greater rewards in higher tiers and some choose to intentionally master cards to reach a higher tier only to find that they cannot compete as their card collection is way weaker than what is needed to compete at that tier. And the biggest problem is that there is no way to drop back down to a lower tier, so these players are stuck having to fight against opponents with decks that outclass theirs completely. This can be the deathblow that kills any fun you might have in MtGPQ (at least for quite a long while) so avoid making this mistake.

Another consequence of this system is that it somewhat discourages experimentation with cards as mastering too many cards will push you more quickly towards a higher tier. This is unfortunate but the only option at the moment is to try to avoid mastering bad cards and to consciously only master the better cards you currently have, especially when your collection is small and you are still gaining new cards at a decent rate.

== The ‘Wall’ ==
At some point (primarily if you are a Free-to-Play player) you will find that you are not getting that many new cards but your collection still isn’t good enough to compete for top ranking within your tier. This is in part due to MtGPQ not having a surge of packs for newer players like many of the other Gacha games do, and also in part due to the sheer number of cards that are available in the game (Standard stands at 1,123 cards as of the end of January 2019, Legacy has 2,353).

Don’t be too worried about this. At this point you would hopefully already be in a coalition with people whom you can identify with or share similar goals with. Take this time to better learn the intricacies of the game rather than feeling like you have to rush to process new cards all the time. At some point, you will break through the wall and maybe you will find that you are then ready to take on greater challenges in MtGPQ.

Also take heart that the introduction of Booster Crafting and Orbs means that your duplicate cards will now gradually contribute to you getting to open a new card for your collection. The in-depth details of the system and the conversion rates can be found here.

== Do I need to spend money on this game? ==
Let’s work our way down from the extremes.

==== Is this game Pay-to-Win? ====
The short answer is no. The game gives a decent amount of rewards if you can complete the various events each day. Being in a coalition will also help you improve more quickly through the advice and the additional coalition rewards you receive. This will allow you to build up your collection to be able to perform better in future events.

==== Will you be able to be instantly or quickly competitive? ====
No. As previously mentioned, your card and planeswalker collection play important roles in determining how competitive you can be. Your desired planeswalker can take weeks to cycle into the Vault for purchase. You may not get a particular card you want from a set regardless of the number of packs you open from the set. Instead you may only be able to craft it with Orbs much further down the road. Even with Booster Crafting, there is still an element of luck involved if there are other cards in the crafting pool of the card which you want.

Luck is a factor which will persist throughout your time with the game. There will also be luck involved in the card draw, board generation and opponents faced for each match. This is an important aspect of MtGPQ that one has to be comfortable with.

==== Will spending money help you be competitive more quickly? ====
Yes of course. You need cards and planeswalkers to compete. Kickstarting your collection by being able to open more packs or having strong planeswalkers from the onset will help you to earn better rewards more quickly. This in turn will speed up your collection rate, which helps you build a better position.

==== Other useful information relating to spending money ====
MtGPQ sells bundles for both new planeswalkers and exclusive [[Card pack#Rarities|Mythics]]. The exclusive Mythics sold for cash will stay exclusive to paying players until the next set is released though these can vary drastically in usefulness. Some exclusive Mythics can be a must-buy whereas others can be total duds.

The new planeswalkers out for cash will only be released for Crystals in the Vault at least three weeks later, giving those who pay for the planeswalker an exclusive period to utilise a planeswalker whose abilities are typically built to synergise with the latest card set and help greatly in hitting the objectives in coalition events. However, remember that planeswalkers will eventually be available in the Vault for Crystals.

== Card Drop Rates ==
Managing your expectations on card drops will greatly influence your enjoyment of this game. The drop rates for [[Card pack#Pack types|regular pack types]], ie. those which come in the 5-card pack, Super Pack (5x3) and Premium Pack (5x5) configuration, are approximately 55% / 39% / 5% / 1.4% / 0.1% per card for [[Card pack#Rarities|Common]] ({{Rarity|C|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Uncommon]] ({{Rarity|U|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Rare]] ({{Rarity|R|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Mythic]] ({{Rarity|M|18}}) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Masterpiece]] ({{Rarity|MP|18}}). Premium Packs are the best option of the three for procuring cards as they come with an additional guaranteed Rare.

There is currently no pity timer in the game. As such, it's important to understand that there will be times where one goes on a streak of good pulls with Rares, Mythics and even the occasional Masterpiece popping up but there will also be streaks where all you see is Common and Uncommon cards.

Here are some handy statistics:
# You have a ~70% chance of getting 0 Mythics in a Premium Pack. That means only 3 in 10 Premium Packs will yield any Mythic(s) on average.
# You have a ~28% chance of getting 0 Rares in a Premium Pack (not counting the guaranteed Rare). That means 1 in 4 Premium Packs will not yield any extra Rare card(s) on average.
# If you have 24 out of 40 Rares in a set, that gives you a 60% chance for a duplicate when you get a Rare drop.
# If you have 10 out of 40 Rares in a set, that is still a 25% chance for a duplicate when you get a Rare drop.

Use this information to help you decide whether to open another [[Card pack#Pack types|Premium Pack]] or to save up for an incoming [[Portal:Planeswalkers|planeswalker]] or even just to save for a rainy day. If you have a high percentage of the cards in a set, you are liable to getting mostly duplicates in your next Premium Pack. At the stage where you have all the Commons and Uncommons from a set with a notable number of Rares, a Premium Pack may only yield 0 or 1 new cards on average.

Although these duplicate cards still yield you Orbs {{orbs}}, one should consider whether their collection is in a good enough position that they can start saving Crystals {{crystals}} for the release of the next set. An additional advantage of saving for the next set is that any duplicate of the new set opened within the first month of its release are worth 50% more Orbs than usual.

== Timetable ==
* New [[Portal:Planeswalkers|planeswalkers]] are added to the Vault on Thursdays at 08:00 UTC
* New [[Card pack#Pack types|Elite Packs]] are added to the Vault on Tuesdays at 08:00 UTC
* Both [[Training Grounds]] start/end each day at 11:00 UTC
(Check the MtGPQ Sneak Peek thread for this month in [https://forums.d3go.com/categories/mtgpq-events this forum] for official information)

== What’s Next? ==
The advice in this guide should provide you with a strong foundation for MtGPQ. For more advanced discussions, I recommend to seek out an active coalition and/or the MtGPQ communities available (primarily the rest of this wiki, the official forums, Reddit, Discord and Slack).

I would like to add a caveat that this guide is for players who are still finding their footing in the game. Certainly, some points will remain valid while others will not as you progress on in the game. One example being that if you are in the end-game phase for MtGPQ, [[Trial of the Planes]] actually becomes your best option for spending Crystals {{crystals}} on as opposed to being an absolutely terrible option for newer players. May you enjoy your time playing MtGPQ!

[[File:BoosterCrafting.png | thumb]]

==Overview==
[[Crafting|Booster Crafting]], or just Crafting, was introduced in December 2017 as a way for players to indirectly convert duplicate cards into new cards, in a semi-targeted manner. Duplicate cards get converted into [[Resources#Mana_Orbs | Mana Orbs]] ({{Orbs}}), and Crafting converts Orbs into new cards.

==Crafting cards==
[[File:CraftingMenu.png | thumb | Crafting allows you to choose the set and the rarity to craft. The magnifying glass allows the player to see the list of possible cards which can be crafted from the selection.]]
The crafted card is a guaranteed non-duplicate card. When crafting a card, players select a [[Cards|card set]] and a [[rarity]]. The selected set and rarity determine both the card pool from which the crafted card comes from, and the Orb cost of the crafted card.

A player may not craft cards from a set and rarity in which they own all the cards.

===Card set===
Any Standard set may be individually selected for crafting, with one exception: the newest set cannot be crafted for a limited time after release. Typically, the newest set becomes craftable a month after release.

On the other hand, Legacy sets cannot be targeted individually; instead, a crafted Legacy card may come from any Legacy card set.

Legacy and [[Origins]] cards can be crafted more cheaply than Standard cards. Conversely, the newest craftable card set is more expensive to craft.

===Rarity===
Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic cards can be selected for crafting for increasing amounts of Orbs.

Masterpiece cards cannot be crafted.

* Newer players should focus on crafting [[Origins]] as its card packs have lower drop rates and it is cheaper to craft than the other Standard sets. Additionally, Origins will not rotate out of Standard.
* Crafting Mythics from a specific set increases your chances of pulling Masterpieces from the {{jewels|400}} Mythic+ [[Elite packs]] of that set. Craft all the Mythics in the Elite Pack's card pool and you are guaranteed to pull a Masterpiece from the {{jewels|400}} Mythic+ Elite Pack.

==Overview==
[[File:CraftingMenu.png | thumb | left | Crafting allows you to choose the bloc and the rarity to craft. The magnifying glass allows the player to see the list of possible cards which can be crafted from the selection.]]
Booster Crafting is a means for players to be able to obtain new cards in a targeted manner. Duplicate cards are converted into [[Resources#Mana_Orbs | Mana Orbs]] ({{Orbs}}) with a bonus of 50% more Orbs if the duplicate is from a set which cannot yet be crafted. Sets typically cannot be crafted until one month after their initial release.

Players will be able to select the bloc and the card [[rarity]] of the card pool which they wish to craft from. The crafted card will be a guaranteed new card randomly chosen from the selected pool. For the bloc, players can choose any individual Standard set or a combined Legacy pool. For the rarity, players can choose to craft Common, Uncommon, Rare or Mythic cards. Masterpieces cannot be crafted.

== Overview ==
Elite Packs are high-value single-card packs which may be purchased for jewels ({{Jewels}}).

The contents of previously available Elite Packs are tracked on the wiki at [[Elite pack tracking]].

== Types of Elite Packs ==
=== Grade (cost) ===
Two grades of Elite Packs exist which differ in Jewel cost and drop rates.
{| class="wikitable"
! rowspan="2" | Grade
! rowspan="2" | Cost
! rowspan="2" | Description
! colspan="3" | Drops per 100 cards (typical)
|-
! {{Rarity|R}}
! {{Rarity|M}}
! {{Rarity|MP}}

| {{Jewels|120}}

|-
! Mythic+ Elite Pack
| {{Jewels|400}}
| Contains a non-duplicate Mythic or Masterpiece card.
| 0 || 70 || 30
|}

=== Card pool ===
Aside from the grade of the Elite Packs, there are also different Elite Pack Collections each drawing from a different card pool. Typically for each [[Cards|card set]], several Elite Pack Collections exist containing a different subset of the cards in the card set.

== Strategies ==
* A valuable card may be chased by saving jewels to repeatedly buy Mythic+ Elite Packs whose card pool contains the sought-after card. Since Mythic+ packs provide non-duplicate cards, eventually you are sure to acquire the card you are chasing.
* By [[crafting]] all the Mythic cards in an Elite Pack using Orbs ({{Orbs}}), Mythic+ Elite Packs drop guaranteed non-duplicate Masterpiece cards.

<br clear=all>
==Overview==
[[File:CraftingMenu.png | thumb | left | Crafting allows you to choose the bloc and the rarity to craft. The magnifying glass allows the player to see the list of possible cards which can be crafted from the selection.]]
Booster Crafting is a means for players to be able to obtain new cards in a targeted manner. Duplicate cards are converted into [[Resources#Mana_Orbs | Mana Orbs]] ({{Orbs}}) with a bonus of 50% more Orbs if the duplicate is from a set which cannot yet be crafted. Sets typically cannot be crafted until one month after their initial release.

Players will be able to select the bloc and the card [[rarity]] of the card pool which they wish to craft from. The crafted card will be a guaranteed new card randomly chosen from the selected pool. For the bloc, players can choose any individual Standard set or a combined Legacy pool. For the rarity, players can choose to craft Common, Uncommon, Rare or Mythic cards. Masterpieces cannot be crafted.

==Crafting Rates==
{| class="wikitable"
! Card Rarity
! [[Origins]]
! [[Legacy]]
! [[Standard]]
! Newest Set
|-
| {{Rarity|M|18}} Mythic || {{orbs|3,000}} || {{orbs|3,000}} || {{orbs|5,000}} || {{orbs|7,500}}
|-
| {{Rarity|R|18}} Rare || {{orbs|600}} || {{orbs|600}} || {{orbs|1,000}} || {{orbs|1,500}}
|-
| {{Rarity|U|18}} Uncommon || {{orbs|300}} || {{orbs|300}} || {{orbs|500}} || {{orbs|750}}
|-
| {{Rarity|C|18}} Common || {{orbs|60}} || {{orbs|60}} || {{orbs|100}} || {{orbs|150}}
|}

==Strategies==
* Spend [[Crystals]] {{crystals}} on newly released sets to benefit from the 50% bonus Orbs from duplicates.
* Newer players should focus on crafting Origins as its card pack have lower drop rates and it is cheaper to craft than the other Standard sets. Additionally, Origins will not rotate out of Standard.
* Crafting Mythics from a specific set increases your chances of pulling Masterpieces from the {{jewels|400}} Mythic+ [[Elite Pack| Elite Packs]] of that set. Craft all the Mythics in the Elite Pack's card pool and you are guaranteed to pull a Masterpiece from the {{jewels|400}} Mythic+ Elite Pack.

Coalitions

2019-03-21T07:20:42Z

Spanargoman: /* Overview */

==Overview==
[[File:Coalitions.PNG|thumb]]
Coalitions are a social aspect of the game. They allow up to 20 players to combine their efforts in coalition events to be able to win coalition rewards on top of the usual individual rewards from events. Coalition events can only be joined by players in a coalition. Players will be able to earn the coalition rewards as long as they are in the coalition at the point when the coalition event ends. However, players' scores will only contribute to the coalition score if they joined the coalition before they joined the event.

==Being in a Coalition==
[[File:JoinCoalition.png|thumb]]
In order to be part of a coalition, select the Coalitions button on the main menu in-game and the options to create or join a coalition will appear. Players can only be part of one coalition at any one time.

==Coalition Features==
'''Search:''' Players can search for coalitions either through the random search which generates a list of coalitions with empty slots available, or through the name search which will show coalitions with the search term in their name. Coalitions which are full (20 out of 20 players) will not show up on any searches.

'''Public or Private:''' Coalitions can be either public or private. Public coalitions will show up on the random search list whereas private coalitions can only be found by searching for them by name.

'''In-game Coalition Chat:''' Being in a coalition will allow a player to send messages through an in-game chat to all the other players in their coalition. The chat will also notify players of significant coalition occurrences like a player joining or leaving the coalition.

==Leadership Features==
The player who creates the coalition becomes the leader of the coalition. The leader has access to several additional functions for managing of their coalition.

'''Customizing the Coalition:''' The leader can customize the logo and name of the coalition. Another option is setting the coalition to be public or private. Each time customizations are made to the coalition, there is a 50 {{Crystals}} fee.

'''Kicking a Player:''' The leader also has the authority to kick a player from the coalition at any point in time. This means players can still be kicked during coalition events.

'''Changing Leadership:''' The leader can also select another player in the coalition to pass on leadership responsibilities to.

Mana

2019-03-20T15:45:16Z

Spanargoman: /* Gem matches */

==Overview==
During play, mana powers up [[Card|Cards]] to allow them to be played.

Each matching of 3 of more gems on the gem board provides an amount of mana according to the number of gems matched, and the mana bonuses of the [[portal:Planeswalkers|Planeswalker]].

The mana required to play a card corresponds to the card's casting cost, which may range from 1 to 30.

==Mana types==
Mana of any of the five [[color]]s can be used to pay the casting cost of cards of any color. Other specialised types of mana exist.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | White [[File:icon_W.png|x24px|White mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching white gems. Pays for any card.
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | Blue [[File:icon_U.png|x24px|Blue mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching blue gems. Pays for any card.
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | Black [[File:icon_B.png|x24px|Black mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching black gems. Pays for any card.
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | Red [[File:icon_R.png|x24px|Red mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching red gems. Pays for any card.
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | Green [[File:icon_G.png|x24px|Green mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching green gems. Pays for any card.
|-
! <div style="text-align: right">{{nowrap | Void [[File:icon_V.png|x24px|Void mana]]}}</div>
| Gained by matching void gems. Pays only for cards with the {{Ability|Devoid}} ability.
''Void gems are created by cards with the [[Abilities#Ingest|Ingest]] ability.''
|-
! {{nowrap | Loyalty [[File:icon_L.png|x24px|Loyalty]]}}
| Loyalty is not mana, but behaves similarly. Loyalty pays for [[portal:Planeswalkers|Planeswalker]] abilites rather than cards in hand.
''Loyalty is gained by matching loyalty gems. Also, each colored gem match generates 1 loyalty in addition to mana.''
|}

==Gaining mana==
Mana may be gained in several ways.

When gained, mana is automatically assigned to the cards in your hand, from the top down, filling the casting cost of each card fully before charging up the next card.

===Gem matches===
Gem matches are the most common way of gaining mana. Each gem match on the gem board provides an amount of mana which is the sum of the following:
* The number of gems of the same color which were matched
* The Planeswalker's mana bonus of the color of the gems which were matched

Very large amounts of mana may sometimes be gained in a single turn via cascades on the gem board, where one match leads to another.

In events which are [[Portal:Events#Icon descriptions|Supercharged]], each color match provides an additional 3 mana.

===Cards===
Mana can also be gained from certain [[Card|cards]] which provide mana when played, or while in play.

===Planeswalker abilities===
Some [[portal:Planeswalkers|Planeswalkers]] have Loyalty abilities which provide mana.

Spanargoman:

A list of things to do to improve the wiki. When an item is done, delete it from the list.

* {{Jewels}}: Top priority items, to do before launch
* {{Crystals}}: High priority items

===3.3 Release===
* Add PW abilities and level 1-60 table for [[Sarkhan Unbroken]], [[Domri, Chaos Bringer]], [[Dovin, Grand Arbiter]], and [[Kaya, Orzhov Usurper]]
* Add PW images and story for [[Domri, Chaos Bringer]] and [[Kaya, Orzhov Usurper]]
* Update event [[Rising Tensions]]
* Check card list at [[Ravnica Allegiance]] for errors after card data has been uploaded
* Check this announced mana bonus change to [[Tour de Ravnica]]: <code>Svogthos, the Restless Tomb: 0 Red -> +3 Red</code> (he already had +3 Red, the boost may be to Blue)

===Events===
* {{Crystals}} Add summary/overview of general event concepts, e.g.
** Typical event structure, i.e. [[Nodes]]
** Types of [[Rewards]] (progression, individual, coalition)
** The basics of [[Coalitions]]
** How [[Matchmaking]] works
* {{Crystals}} Create pages for events which aren't yet added
* Upload images for events which don't have one yet
* Add some Strategy sections to events pages
* Add ways for people to link to external user-created content, particularly for events
** Suggested decks for event nodes
** YouTube walk-throughs (example from another wiki: https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Yearning_For_Peace)

===Story===
* {{Crystals}} Add pages for the remaining 3 Story levels: [[Training (Story)]], [[Battle for Zendikar (Story)]], and [[Heroic Encounters (Story)]])
* Add sections to each Story page summarising each Story Chapter

===Planeswalkers===
* Add starting deck and the "theme decks" to each PW page
* Add lore to infobox for each PW (race, birthplace, allies, etc)
* Add some Strategy sections to PW pages

===Cards===
* Add some description of set-specific mechanics on each set page
* Add a page for Promo cards
* Consider adding set-specific info to each Cards set page, e.g. notable cards, how the mechanics play, feel of power level, lore, etc
* Determine whether/how to present each card's own page (e.g. infobox + card image + basic content template?)
* {{Crystals}} Add page on [[Crafting]]
* Consider adding pages for tokens and other card-like things, similar to pages for cards
** Creature Tokens
*** Leaders?
** Support Tokens
** Permanent Supports (are these technically tokens?)

===Guides===
* Consider what guides could be useful, e.g.
** How to choose gem match
** How the AI chooses a gem match
** How to build a deck
** How to spend resources efficiently
** Guide to Planeswalkers - which ones are good/bad and why
** Guide to Card Sets
** Guide to Coalitions
* {{Crystals}} Add a Guides portal page showing existing and wanted guides
* Add or fix cross-links between reference pages and guide pages

===Other/General===
* {{Crystals}} Add pages on gameplay such as [[Gem board]], [[Gems]], and [[Matching]]
* Tweak the Main Page further.
** {{Jewels}} Put card images in "card of the day" once card images are available to use in the wiki
** Link to other useful mtgpq sites
* Current server task queue:
** {{Jewels}} Card data: Re-upload ZVE and M19 cards with sub-types and abilities
** {{Jewels}} Card images: Upload all images, OR add mtgpq.info to the external image whitelist and provide an ID for each card image from which the URL can be formed
** {{Crystals}} Planeswalker data: Export data for [[Sarkhan Unbroken]], [[Domri, Chaos Bringer]], [[Dovin, Grand Arbiter]], and [[Kaya, Orzhov Usurper]] from mtgpq.info
