NOTE that both sides have an indestructible permanent support in play. This gives the potential perfect storm, where 3 indestructible supports line up and keep matching.

All nodes except 2.1 can either make Hexproof creatures or give creatures Hexproof; depending on luck, it may be anything between easy and impossible to target creatures given Hexproof with the ubiquitous Cavern of Souls.

All charges are available at the start of the event; there are no recharges, and you can't lose charges.

On the 17th of April 2026 running of the event, objectives for 1.1 and 2.1 were changed, without announcement, from Peasant (on each) to Mightstone and Spell Caster, respectively.

Story

"We weren't fleeing a broken world. We were running toward paradise!" The aftermath of the phyrexian invasion affected all tribes of Ixalan pretty hard; which made the new discoveries coming through the recently found caverns to the underground even more enticing. The Merfolk and Pirates of Ixalan have gambled their future on this gold rush.

Special rules

Each chapter is based on relevant characters of each Ixalan tribe, and players will face them in 3 different nodes. Defeat them all and conquer their objectives for the best position on ranking!

Bonus rewards

On the run in Jan 2024, the final LCI booster on individual progression rewards was a LCI Super Pack.

Notes

Forum discussion.

2.1 says "summon 5 or less creatures", but you can summon as many as you want, as long as you cast no more than 5.

History

On 1/27/24, the Scales objective required casting 6 or more Merfolk, not only summoning them. This bug was recognized by the developers, who indicated it would be adjusted to correctly count all summoned Merfolk in future iterations of the event: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/89782/issue-with-survivors-of-four-tribes-part-1.
