Origins is the first Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest set, and was the only existing set at the time of the game's public release in December 2015, in version 1.2 of the game. The set abbreviation is ORI, and the set icon () resembles a five-pointed rising sun.

Their abilities are mostly strong, but their mana bonuses are +5 in total, which is 4 points lower than other mono colored walkers at +9, making them slow going, if not a challenge, to play in most events.
