The event focuses on the life of the fiery-tempered pyromancer, Chandra Nalaar.

Once a Planeswalker has been chosen for a node, another may not be chosen for that node, nor may that Planeswalker be chosen for another node, for the whole event.

Awakened Inferno was introduced in October 2019 as a Standard event, became Legacy in October 2020, became block-restricted in May 2021, and returned to Legacy in December 2021.

The Fleeting Elementals created by the Acolyte of Flame support on the second node are now created even if the player has three creatures.

Special rules

Historical

Awakened Inferno used to, like the Duets of Mana events, give one of the Leyline cards as its Rare reward. Around April 2021 this was changed to a Zendikar Rising rare, and a Strixhaven booster pack was added. Around August of 2022 this was changed to an Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Rare and a Streets of New Capenna booster. The M20 booster pack has, as of April 2023, remained unchanged.
