Battle of Four Tribes: Part 1 is the first part in a two-part series of 3-node Legacy coalition PvE events.

Battle of Four Tribes was originally launched in May 2018, at the same time as the release of Rivals of Ixalan, as a single 5-node Boss Health event. In February 2019, the event was split into its current two parts. In late 2019 or early 2020, the event changed from Standard to Legacy.

With the new event releases Node Objectives were changed, and Coalition and Progression Rewards were modified.

Historical details of the original B4T event can be found at Battle of Four Tribes (historical).

Part 1 was last run in late April of 2020.

Known Bugs

Date Run	App Version	Node	Fixed	Bug Description
2018-03-20	2.5	x.3		Many “Destroy Support” effects will target the permanent supports.  Tested out with Demolish, in particular.  It also targets those owned by the player.
2018-03-20	2.5	2.3		Silverclad Ferocidons never kills the AI’s creatures.  Probably related to the permanent support bug as listed above.
2018-03-20	2.5	2.3		The regeneration effect offered by the permanent support wears off before your Dinosaur can regenerate any hit points, so is not useful.
