[[Terrors in the Shadows]] (TiS) is a PvP Legacy event introduced in August 2016, along with the release of the [[Shadows over Innistrad]] set.

{| class="wikitable"

Each battle in this event has a secondary objective to summon a pair of thematically terrifying creatures.
  
 +
Planeswalkers can only be used on a single node. Once a Planeswalker is selected for a node, that node is locked, and no other Planeswalkers can be selected. Selected Planeswalkers are removed from selection for the other nodes.
 +
 +
Prior to December 2016, Terrors in the Shadows was a Coalition event. In October 2021 its rewards were updated to feature the newly-released [[Innistrad: Midnight Hunt]] set, and [[Innistrad: Crimson Vow]] rewards were added in May 2022. TiS had long been an especially competitive event, due to its rewards being from an old set which is harder to acquire.

 +
Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed.

[[Shadows over Innistrad]] is considerably more rare than [[MID]] or [[VOW]]; for newer players, the third tier reward of a Shadows over Innistrad pack is superior to either the first place reward of an Innistrad: Crimson Vow pack or the second place Innistrad: Midnight Hunt pack. After the rewards change, some players began pulling their punches, and trying for third place Shadows over Innistrad [[#Rewards|Rewards]] on purpose. It is a tricky process to get a sufficiently high score to get third place but not so high as to place higher. In some brackets, it may be necessary to give up the last individual reward, effectively trading two Standard Rares for one Legacy.

Terrors in the Shadows (TiS) is a PvP Legacy event introduced in August 2016, along with the release of the Shadows over Innistrad set.

Each battle in this event has a secondary objective to summon a pair of thematically terrifying creatures.

Planeswalkers can only be used on a single node. Once a Planeswalker is selected for a node, that node is locked, and no other Planeswalkers can be selected. Selected Planeswalkers are removed from selection for the other nodes.

Prior to December 2016, Terrors in the Shadows was a Coalition event. In October 2021 its rewards were updated to feature the newly-released Innistrad: Midnight Hunt set, and Innistrad: Crimson Vow rewards were added in May 2022. TiS had long been an especially competitive event, due to its rewards being from an old set which is harder to acquire.

Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed.

Shadows over Innistrad is considerably more rare than MID or VOW; for newer players, the third tier reward of a Shadows over Innistrad pack is superior to either the first place reward of an Innistrad: Crimson Vow pack or the second place Innistrad: Midnight Hunt pack. After the rewards change, some players began pulling their punches, and trying for third place Shadows over Innistrad Rewards on purpose. It is a tricky process to get a sufficiently high score to get third place but not so high as to place higher.
