[[Duel Decks: Zendikar vs Eldrazi]] is a block-restricted [[Duel Decks]] event which was launched as a beta event in September 2018 in release 2.9, along with its associated [[Zendikar vs Eldrazi]] card set.  The event was overhauled in May 2019, in release 3.4.
  
−
In the Challenge Phase, player play as each of two planeswalkers to "unlock" the walkers for the Duel Phase.
+
The first, [[#Challenge Phase|Challenge Phase]] of the event is a PvE matchup and second and third [[#Duel and Final Duel Phase|Duel and Final Duel Phases]] are [[PvP]] matches. There are separate [[#Challenge Phase rewards|Challenge Phase rewards]] and rewards [[#Event end - Winning side rewards|received after the Final Duel]]. Which side the player chooses to play also determines rewards; Challenge rewards can be received from both sides, but once a Final Duel side is chosen, rewards can only be received from that side.
  
−
In the Duel Phase, players pick one of the two featured planeswalkers to play for the duration of the event and then create cards from their own collections to use in the event.
+
Unique to Duel Decks events, Winning Side rewards are given to the side with the most wins across all players in the event.
  
−
In the Final Duel Phase, there is a status bar that shows which "side" is winning.
+
If the player chooses Eldrazi in the final phase, their deck can include only Blue, Black, Red and Colorless cards.  
  
−
At the end of the event, the winning side gets a specific Mythic card and the losing side gets a unique Rare card pack from the deck.

−
The first in what is assumed to be a series, the Zendikar vs Eldrazi event was first run as a Beta Test over two weekends in October 2018.  The first Beta had charges hit every five minutes, which was essentially an endless supply of charges, the second was limited to a charge every six hours.  The general consensus was the first format was better.  The second format was used for the general release.

Choose a planeswalker below and duel against the other one, using a pre-set deck.  Nodes have no charges and are untimed.

A new "refreshed" version of ZvE will run on May 18, 2019 with release 3.4.

Only the first objective (Win the Fight) is initially unlocked and available on each node.  Completing the first objective unlocks the second objective, and completing the second objective unlocks the third objective.

Duel Decks: Zendikar vs Eldrazi is a block-restricted Duel Decks event which was launched as a beta event in September 2018 in release 2.9, along with its associated Zendikar vs Eldrazi card set. The event was overhauled in May 2019, in release 3.4.

The first, Challenge Phase of the event is a PvE matchup and second and third Duel and Final Duel Phases are PvP matches. There are separate Challenge Phase rewards and rewards received after the Final Duel.
