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. 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.
Unique to Duel Decks events, Winning Side rewards are given to the side with the most wins across all players in the event.
If the player chooses Eldrazi in the final phase, their deck can include only Blue, Black, Red and Colorless cards.
Special Rules

Note: The required Planeswalkers are available for use in each stage of this event, whether or not you own them.
| Permanent support |

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

Duel and Final Duel Phase
It is eight hours between the start of the event and the opening of the Duel Phase, represented by a timer above the lower node. Once the Duel Phase starts, the timer is replaced by another, indicating twelve hours until the start of the Final Duel.
Join one side and play PvP duels against the other side. Each game depletes a charge on the node, which is recharged over time.
If the player uses the preconstructed deck provided, it is the same cards as the Welcome Pack Rewards. Card XP will accrue to these cards if they are unmastered.
The player may construct their own deck, with the following additional restrictions:
- Both sides: Can only use cards from the ORI, ZVE, BFZ, and OGW card sets.
- The Eldrazi Devastation: Cannot use green or white cards.
The side with the most victories at the end of the event is the winning side.
