Overview
The Long Cold Darkness is the second chapter in the four-part event series, A Journey Through History, launched in May 2018 with the Dominaria set. Each chapter is run as a Standard PvE weekday event, typically with two events being run in the same week.
Unlike other single-player events without charges, winning on a node you've already beaten continues to earn ribbons, so it is possible to collect all rewards simply by repeating the first opponent.
Special rules
The event has the following special features:
| Planeswalker color restriction
|
    White, Black, Red, Green
|
|---|---|
| Only planeswalkers with affinity to White, Black, Red, or Green can be played. | |
|
Permanent support: Shard of the Twelve Worlds
