The Greatest Heist is a Standard Coalition PvP event. It was released, along with Implicit Maze, after Update 6.61, the first after 6.60 and the Outlaws of Thunder Junction set.

There is a single node, with the maximum of twelve charges available from the start of the 46 hour event.

Planeswalkers are restricted. Only Planeswalkers that are Black, Red, or Green may be used, whatever other colors they may also have. Thus, for example, Black-Blue or Green-White-Blue PWs can be used.

“The vault’s ultimate prize wasn’t exactly what Kellan had imagined”

"An ancient vault hiding untold raw magic has been discovered on Thunder Junction. A mysterious, anonymous benefactor has hired the fae Planeswalker, Oko, for a job: seize whatever is inside. But no matter how clever and charismatic he is, Oko knows he can’t do this alone. The vault is guarded by the Hellspurs, Thunder Junction’s deadliest criminal gang–not to mention every other outlaw who wants a piece of the power pie. So Oko uses the Omenpaths to recruit a gang of ragtag, rip-roaring, villains from Magic’s history to pull off the Greatest Heist in the Multiverse!"
