Beginner Guide
This is not MtG.

PQ has:
Objectives
Lanes
Mastery

Objectives

Power is not your friend. It is your enemy. Fast wins are for Training Grounds and Story Mode, and those are quite a small portion of the game Events.

Lanes

There are only three creatures you ever need face. If you have enough lifelink to match the power on the other side, you can't lose. However, this interferes with Job 1: Objectives. What else can we do about the Lanes? We can jam them up with weak or disabled creatures, with Hixus or Turn to Frog + Ravenform + The Trickster-God's Heist.

Or we can just kill them. Kill Spells are tactical in MtG; there's always too many creatures to kill them all. Not here. Here you are guaranteed not only to have enough kill spells, but automatic card advantage as well. Kill any reinforced creature and you have already won the card advantage game.

Mastery

See XP

Mastery is also our enemy. Bronze now features many opponents who know this, and tailored their decks to stay in Bronze and kill the noobs. Be equal to them, lose to them, doesn't matter; it is still better than facing the much greater number of excellent players who not only tailor their decks, but have access to cards you may never own.

Conclusion

Kill Spells. Always. Origins. Always.

Exceptions:

PMA cards are also always Standard.

Binding the Old Gods. Kills supports or creatures, draws a land, kills your own creatures if you have too much power/ kills more of their creatures.

Lifelink. The only option for Standard in Black is Blood-Cursed Knight. The future is probably therefore White+X or Green+X Planeswalkers, and making do with Tragic Arrogance or Green life gain. Or just hoping that opponents aren't playing creatureless damage in Bronze, and accepting the losses if they come. Or moving up to higher Tiers when juggling white and black PWs against known Bronze direct damage opponents is not enough. Crutches like Shadowspear and Poet's Quill inevitably move out of Standard and waste Mastery points.

Mastery

Colorless

5 points to all colors: The five Origins lands

Optional:

1 point to all colors: Alchemist's Vial

Optional, dubious: 5 points to all colors: Helm of the Gods. However, there is nothing quite like Vigilance, First- or Double-Strike, and Flying on a sufficiently big creature.

Black

Mastery/total. Best Source is packs or Crafting unless otherwise noted.

2/2 Binding the Old Gods

4/6 Cruel Revival

4/10 Fleshbag Marauder

8/18 Priest of the Blood Rite

8/26 Snuff Out (PMA) - Crystals

8/34 Unholy Hunger - always $2.50 in Vault

Optional

2/ Read the Bones. Draw is not usually the issue. Mana is.

16/ Infinite Obliteration. Same goes for Greg, to a certain extent, although the AI infamously cheats very hard with cascades. In any case, Kill wastes Greg's mana and card. Bounce wastes only the mana. Discard wastes only the card. Drain.. forget it.

2(+2 Blue)/ Possessed Skaab. Combos with Cruel Revival, as Fleshbag does, and can bring back cards

8/ Languish. Optional because with that many kill spells, you might not even need it to kill your own creatures for those objectives.

Honorable mention: Shadowspear is versatile at doing damage: a Power bonus, lifegain, and Trample. Poet's Quill, by comparison, is versatile at gameplay in general. Not only lifegain and power, but card draw, or a creature, or a creature buff.

Blue

8 Blue: Turn to Frog

8/16 Harbinger of the Tides. Bounce, mostly inferior to kill, even with the additional cost. "Greg", the computer opponent, understands cost and will switch to another card efficiently.

2/18 Artificer's Epiphany

16/34 Thopter Spy Network

Optional

Ravenform. Another lane blocker.

Claustrophobia. Lane blocker, but the low shield makes it unreliable.

Green

4/ Conclave Naturalist

4/8 Gather the Pack

8/16 Sylvan Messenger

2/18 Nissa's Pilgrimage

8/26 Khalni Garden

8/34 Herald of the Pantheon

16/50 The Great Aurora. See Languish

Optional

16/ Dryad Arbor PMA

16/ Oracle of Mul Daya PMA? - better than Dryad Arbor. Both really expensive.

Animist's Awakening

Mantle of Webs

Nissa's Revelation. 20 life. Probably won't need the 5 cards.

Gaea's Revenge/Outland Colossus. Power is your enemy. This is the type of card you are trying to avoid having to use, by staying in Bronze. Also too expensive for Nissa's A3 to pay for.

Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen. Too expensive for Nissa's A3 to pay for.

Red

Chandra's Ignition. Kill all theirs, spare mine? Sign me up.

That's all. Really. Red is a dustbin Wizards of the Coast throw cards rejected by their more favored colors.

White

White, on the whole, is the antithesis of Red; the love child of WoC. They get everything the other colors have, and other colors usually are barred from getting their stuff. That said, there still isn't much here, because paper Magic is so different. However, and in evidence of other colors not getting their stuff, in Origins, white is the only source of Lifelink.

2/2 Enlightened Ascetic

8/10 Gideon's Phalanx

16/26 Hixus, Prison Warden

4/30 Knightly Valor

16/46 Tragic Arrogance

4/50 War Oracle

Planeswalkers

Of these, only Kaya follows the rule of White Always, which is the only Bronze-stable future.

Ashiok, Nightmare Muse

Draw one of their cards, bounce what you can't/don't want to kill, maybe finish with a 30/30 Hexproof unblockable creature. Or just stay safe and ready to Bounce.

Llanovar Wastes + Yavimaya Coast. Switch to Shivan Reef against a Green opponent.

Nissa of Shadowed Boughs

Never A1. Sometimes you can just A3 and win, especially since A3 counts as Casting creatures and thus Summoning as well. Otherwise A2 for Summoning creatures and to make enough black for A3 and green for Gather the Pack. Overwrite the Priest if you are really low on life, perhaps, otherwise you will probably want to cast him again and just overwrite or refuse the Demon.

Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor

The single turn of damage from A2 is usually much less than the repeated damage from A1 Devils. A3 is usually a bad idea, because you should be able to kill most things before they kill you, but they might kill the opponent before you want them dead.

Kaya, the Inexorable

Very nice bag of tricks. Haven't played with her yet. Serra has been enough so far, but my analysis of Black indicates that it would be foolish to remain mono white.

Require Facebook for login? No. I will not use Facebook, ever. (I use Facebook now for my alt. Not proud of that U-turn, but it happens.

It was only ever a game of beating a cheating gem swapper when it stopped cheating or, more often, the cards it played were so terrible that it couldn't win even with cheating. A little effort into making actual puzzles would have gone a long way.

(Still is, and would still)

Bugs

• InevitableEnd kills do not count towards Story objectives, probably because kill counters probably only check during the player's turn

Other

Gideon Blackblade's invulnerability has proven invaluable in Training and, in particular, in Story, where most of the scenarios' objectives, high numbers of unlikely and/or uncontrollable and/or detrimental things (achieve the feat of eight of your creatures being destroyed!) cannot normally be completed before the computer or the player are dead.

XP

• Legends of Eldraine 20xp > 2 ; 10 to 1 ratio. 5 of the 15 possible points because secondaries don't count; 3 to 1 ratio. 3 1/3 times as much points per XP point.

Daily quest objectives are counted, win or lose. Mastery points are only accrued when you win. Ideally you want to be achieving other rewards at the same time, which would require you win, but quitting as soon as you get that last "cast X white or green cards" increment might save Mastery and time.

Leveling too much, worst case scenario

1. Story mode: Five Planeswalkers; the first gets 20 XP, the rest get 2 XP per card per game, twenty eight XP on cards, for ten gold for all-color completion. The Objective reward is cheaper, or free if done at the same time, for 15 gold. This can be seen as 20 XP for 15 Objective gold and eight XP for 10 Completion gold. In total, 25 gold for 28 XP
2. Training Grounds: One Planeswalker x6 XP per card per game for four games, twenty four XP per card, for fifteen gold. More XP per gold all told

Conclusion: Don't avoid Story mode, but complete it; don't just do Objectives. But note that the first Objective rewards only Runes. Returning to complete it in a separate game would be XP for little reward.

Convert all gems on the board to a random colour.

The enigma is multi faceted, but chief among those questions is, why would the last sentence necessarily be any different than starting a new board? Or at least, any different than Roll a D20? Obviously there is a chance of a match, but what we saw on Nalthazar's video was nearly impossible. He had to have made five matches in one cascade, and more than that: one of each color.

The answer is, the text of my rating on Google Play. The game cheats hard to get you matches, so random gems get you matches. But what Okt hath given they of course may also take away.

• Legend of Dragoon Wikia User page • • Many Wikia projects. One of the more recent is Battleforge Wikia. Since then, many in the links above, plus Legend of Dragoon wiki, and Torment wiki and Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption and Vagrant Story may be replaced by the above links soon as well. Legend of Dragoon Wikia is a very well-kept site; its scope is not wide, but it is tended with care by fans not wiki-fuhrers, so there is less need for me to work on it.

Perfect World wikia: Less complete than the original wiki http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php/Main_Page . At one time, the Wikia version was more complete on game entities that had been recently introduced, as no one much worked on the old wiki, but new hands have taken up the task. Conversely, the Wikia is being expanded with more high-level content. http://perfectworldinternational.wikia.com/wiki/User:VvAnarchangelvV
