The first, Challenge Phase of the event is a PvE matchup and second and third Duel and Final Duel Phases are PvP matches. There are separate Challenge Phase rewards and rewards received after the Final Duel. Which side the player chooses to play also determines rewards; Challenge rewards can be received from both sides, but once a Final Duel side is chosen, rewards can only be received from that side.

Unique to Duel Decks events, Winning Side rewards are given to the side with the most wins across all players in the event.

If the player chooses Eldrazi in the final phase, their deck can include only Blue, Black, Red and Colorless cards.

Challenge Phase

Choose a planeswalker below and duel against the other one, using a pre-set deck. Nodes have no charges and are untimed.

Only the first objective (Win the Fight) is initially unlocked and available on each node. Completing the first objective unlocks the second objective, and completing the second objective unlocks the third objective.

In order to join Nissa's or Eldrazi's side in the Duel and Final Duel phases, and to receive their Challenge Phase rewards, all three of their respective Challenge Phase objectives must be completed.

Duel and Final Duel Phase

It is many hours (probably eight) between the start of the event and the opening of the Duel Phase, represented by a timer above the lower node.

Join one side and play PvP duels against the other side. Each game depletes a charge on the node, which is recharged over time.

If the player uses the preconstructed deck provided, it is the same cards as the Welcome Pack Rewards. Card XP will accrue to these cards if they are unmastered.

The player may construct their own deck, with the following additional restrictions:

• Both sides: Can only use cards from the ORI, ZVE, BFZ, and OGW card sets.
• The Eldrazi Devastation: Cannot use green or white cards.

The side with the most victories at the end of the event is the winning side.
