== Overview ==
Magic the Gathering: Puzzle Quest (MTGPQ) is a free-to-play match-3 game at heart like Bejeweled or Candy Crush, but it is overlaid with the rich theme and lore of [https://magic.wizards.com/en Magic the Gathering (MTG)]. You will be collecting [[Card|cards ]] to build your [[Deck|decks]] and if you play paper MTG, you will recognise the cards in MTGPQ as the card sets follow that of paper MTG. The game consists of battles against an opposing deck which is controlled by the AI. In each match, you play as a [[Planeswalker]] who must engage in duels with an opponent, charging your cards with mana through matching gems to summon creatures, cast supports and cast spells. At the same time, you will gain loyalty points with which to trigger your planeswalker’s abilities. Victory is achieved by reducing the opponent’s life to zero.
Over the course of the game, you will gather different planeswalkers to aid your cause. Planeswalkers can be leveled up to unlock new abilities or better stats. You will also collect cards through the [[Booster Pack]] system to build your decks with. The game also has a [[Coalition|coalitions]] feature which allows you to join a coalition to contribute your scores in coalition events to obtain greater rewards. The game is currently only available on Android and iOS.
== Cards ==
There are three types of [[Card|cards]] in MTGPQ: [[Card#Type|creatures]], [[Card#Type|spells]] and [[Card#Type|supports]]. The top right of each card displays which type it is and the amount of mana needed to cast the card. The coloured band in the middle indicates which colour the card belongs to. The symbol at the bottom shows which set the card comes from. The colour of the card's symbols and outline reveals the rarity of the card of which there are currently 5: [[Cardpack#RarityRarities|Common]] (white[[File:rarity-C.png|x18px|Common]]), [[Cardpack#RarityRarities|Uncommon]] (blue[[File:rarity-U.png|x18px|Uncommon]]), [[Cardpack#RarityRarities|Rare]] (gold[[File:rarity-R.png|x18px|Rare]]), [[Cardpack#RarityRarities|Mythic]] (orange[[File:rarity-M.png|x18px|Mythic]]), and [[Cardpack#RarityRarities|Masterpiece]] (red[[File:rarity-MP.png|x18px|Masterpiece]]). The text area explains the abilities the creature has and any underlined text can be tapped on in-game for an explanation of its meaning. Symbols on a card’s portrait are evergreen abilities which when tapped on will also bring up an explanation window.
