View source for Avacyn's Madness

{{Infobox event|{{PAGENAME}}}}
Avacyn's Madness is a Legacy PvE event introduced in September 2016 with the [[Shadows over Innistrad]] card [[set]].

Most battles in this event (all nodes except 2.2, 3.2, and 3.3) feature secondary objectives which contradict each other.  On these nodes, only one of the two secondary objectives can be achieved.

Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed.

This is a Boss Health event. For years, the boss's health did not run out before the event was over, even after at least one announcement that the boss health had been reduced, but on September 26, 2021, and ever since, the boss has died hours before the event ends. At 70 hours long, it is longer by a day than most events, and more than three times as many matches are played. It has five nodes and forty-five matches: more than even the ninety-six-hour-long [[Return of the God-Pharaoh]] with three nodes and thirty-six games. It is more difficult than most events, but not more difficult than [[Return of the God-Pharaoh|RGP]].

== Rewards ==
[[Eldritch Moon]] event [[#Rewards|Rewards]] tend to be single cards; not packs. Conversely, players may receive EMN cards in SOI packs. This is because EMN is an expansion set of Shadows over Innistrad, and EMN cards were merged into SOI packs on release. However, special EMN booster packs of 5 cards were constructed to award as additional, holiday season prizes in the December 2022 running of AM. They are missing the "Gisa and Geralt" Mythic and "Oath of Liliana" Rare, for a count of 65 out of EMN's 67 cards.

The rewards for first and second place [[Coalition]] scores have been reduced from a Fat Pack of 4 boosters, to a single pack.

== Notes ==
Until October 2023, the [[#5.1, Wolf of Devil's Breach|Node 5.1, Wolf of Devil's Breach]] list included {{Card URL|Devils' Playground}}. But {{Card URL|Mirrorpool}}, which was not on the list, has been confirmed to be in the deck, along with the other 9 cards on the list. The original list compilation mistook the appearance of Red Devils to signify the casting of Devils' Playground, rather than its true cause, 5.1's "Dance with Devils" Loyalty ability.

If Red Devils are [[:Category:Weaken|Weakened]] unto death (confirmed with [[Daxos the Returned]]'s third ability), they will not inflict their retaliatory damage on dying.
