Overview

Rising Tensions is a PvE Standard event introduced in November 2018, along with the release of the Guilds of Ravnica set. The event has an entry fee of 20 .

Five variations of the event runs during the week. On each day, the player fights for a different Guild of Ravnica. The player battles against nodes representing the other four Guilds.

Backstory

"The friction between the guilds of Ravnica has never been more palpable. An absent Guildpact has given rise to new guild leaders with unknown agendas. On this critical moment, each guild must gather information and seek for possible allies."

Special rules

Color restriction	One or more nodes in this event can only be played by Planeswalkers of a specified color.

The Guild of the day provides a special benefit (to both players) on all nodes via a permanent support.

Event variation (Guild)	Day	Permanent support
Boros Legion	Monday		Permanent support: Boros Legion   Side: Both All creatures gain Mentor
Izzet League	Tuesday		Permanent support: Izzet League   Side: Both Whenever a player casts a non-copy spell, copy that spell. It gains half of its mana.
House Dimir	Wednesday		Permanent support: House Dimir   Side: Both Whenever you cast a support, Surveil 2, then draw a card.
Golgari Swarm	Thursday		Permanent support: Golgari Swarm   Side: Both Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, it gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures in its controller's graveyard, up to 5.
Selesnya Conclave	Friday		Permanent support: Selesnya Conclave   Side: Both At the beginning of each player's turn, the cost of the first card in their hand is reduced by X, where X is the number of creatures and creature reinforcements that player controls.

Nodes
