 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).
+# 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. [[Puzzle Masters]] cards will always be in [[Standard]]. 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.

 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.

-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]] ([[File:rarity-C.png|x18px|Common]]) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Uncommon]] ([[File:rarity-U.png|x18px|Uncommon]]) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Rare]] ([[File:rarity-R.png|x18px|Rare]]) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Mythic]] ([[File:rarity-M.png|x18px|Mythic]]) / [[Card pack#Rarities|Masterpiece]] ([[File:rarity-MP.png|x18px|Masterpiece]]) 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.
+Colour Mastery is both a boon and a trap.

 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.

 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.
