Nodes of Power is a Legacy event which was introduced in July 2016, a month after the release of the Oath of the Gatewatch set. It was the first PvP event added to the game after Quick Battle.
From its introduction until December 2016, Nodes of Power was a coalition event, and had no secondary objectives.
Each battle in this event features the same secondary objective twice, the second time with a more difficult target.
Once a Planeswalker has been chosen for a node, another may not be chosen for that node, nor may that Planeswalker be chosen for another node, for the whole event.
The March 2023 run introduced new objectives for Black node

Rewards
Unlike other older events, rewards for Nodes of Power were detached from the set of its origin and flavor: Battle for Zendikar. Rewards were changed from BFZ to M21 and Standard in 2021. Rare card rewards were changed briefly from M21 to AFR in December 2022, and back to M21 in February 2023.

The first, Black node counted remaining life as maximum life minus damage taken, plus any life gained while at maximum life. The first part was only misleading; neither damage nor the distinction between damage and loss of life were mentioned. But the second part was unequivocally a bug; there is quite obviously a ceiling to life gain: maximum life. Players needed to avoid using life gain until sufficient damage is taken, avoid or at least account for life loss and counteract that life loss with sufficient life gain to stay alive.
