RP replaced [[Zendikar Expeditions]] as the daily event. ZE offered five nodes, any of which could be played while they had charges.
The initial announcement of the event's release proclaimed a points structure of five Ribbons ({{Ribbons|25}}) for the win, and three and two for the secondary objectives. Popular disclaiming criticism of this plan on the forums led to the current points structure, with double the points available.
All of the objectives are named after the Abilities they require except for Winged, which requires creatures with {{Ability|Flying}}, and Threaten, which requires {{Ability|Menace}}.
The Evergreens of the secondary objectives, as one might expect, are those common to creatures of that color, except for the {{Ability|Double Strike}} required for the Red node. As of the release of this event, there are only two Red Double Strike creatures in the whole of Standard, one of which is a Masterpiece. There are no [[:Category: Summon creatures|PWs that summon creatures]] with Double Strike, nor do any [[:Category:Double Strike|grant it to creatures in hand]]. Until this might be fixed, it will force players of the [[#Red Node|Red Node]] to play White and Red Planeswalkers on it, or forego the points for that objective, or draw the match out for a very long time.
Perhaps oddly, because even Wizards of the Coast calls these abilities Basic, only two of the ten objectives have been seen previously; the Defender name had been used before, but it required {{Ability|Cast|Casting}}, not {{Ability|Summon|Summoning}}.
