Battles From the Ages (BfA) is a Legacy PvE event introduced in February 2022.
- "Do you have what it takes to face the unknown? Then, come! Join the battles of the ages! Literally. You never know which character you’ll run into. Might be a recent story rival, or a long forgotten boss, sometimes even that much forgotten that you never even heard of! You’ll need to be prepared for anything, so: grab your gear, your mana, your library - maybe even a companion - and face this challenge!"
Strategy
BfA allows playing against different old Legacy PvE Event bosses, the more difficult of the Story mode bosses, and a previously unreleased boss based on Legacy content.
This event is the most efficient way to convert into (55 for 55 at Platinum). Mastery levels below Platinum will see significantly reduced Resource rewards; the non-duplicate Mythic "Exclusive Card Booster" rewards remain the same at all Tiers.
Players who can play enough games to acquire duplicate cards can also use the event the same way that the old Rising Tensions events were used: to acquire large amounts of Orbs to Craft with, effectively converting Crystals into Orbs.
The list of Mythics has been updated each set since release; hypothetically, the list may simply expand, but one card, Angelic Enforcer, may have already been dropped from the list; see rewards.
One can win the first 6 matches and concede the last 2 to save some time.
After reaching 70 ribbons, the event finishes, and the event can be started again for the entry fee of 100 .
Story
Hallowed be this assortment of diverse things.
Rules
Face randomly chosen opponents in sequence. You can lose up to 3 matches per entry and play up to 7 matches. Each victory grants you 10 points, and each defeat grants you 5. Your rewards will be based upon your score.
Each battle features a different enemy. Event supports may be spawned according to the opponent.
Objectives
All nodes have the same objectives:

Battles From the Ages Premier
This boss may be new to this event. They may also be from an event not currently covered by this wiki.
Their deck list will be included here. This list may be added to.
It seems likely that it was conceived earlier, or is cut content. Nissa, Vital Force was, like Tezzeret the Schemer, released with the Aether Revolt set, and Tezzeret is a boss in the AER event, Revolt against the Consulate. AER and the NVF Planeswalker featured Energize, and BfA event boss opponent NVF has an Energize objective.

History
- Battle From the Ages - Forum announcement
BFA was intended to launch with the six cards from MID, VOW and NEO as rewards; the two NEO cards were patched in. Nine cards from SNC (all the exclusive cards from that set) were added at the end of June 2022.
BfA is currently the only way to obtain the normal art version of the four Mythic Streets of New Capenna Vanguard cards; as of August 2022, they are not available in the Vault for Mana Jewels as is normal. All of them except for Dakkon, Shadow Slayer have full art versions, historically a guarantee that they will be offered at Fblthp.
