While Story Mode is a great place to start playing and will account for the majority of the player's Crystals in the first months, and Training is the first place to gain fast card rewards, Events are the mainstay of Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest. PvE and PvP events allow players to gain Resources as well as cards. Joining Events used to require the player to play through a significant portion of the Story, but Webcore streamlined this in December of 2024 to completing just three games.
Events generally consist of one or more Nodes, which are either limited to the number of Charges, or can be played repeatedly. Winning and achieving objectives gathers Ribbons to increase score; the score, in turn, determines Rewards.
The Rewards from a PvP event are split according to the events' scoring tiers, and each time an event fills up with the number of players equal to the tiers' limit, new Brackets are created. This effectively makes new events for players that subsequently join, except that players will face off against opponents from any Bracket.
Every weekend, Coalition events are held; join a Coalition before the event starts to play them, and receive Coalition points. Events usually start off as Standard, often becoming Legacy when their associated set rotates out of Standard.
The Icon descriptions table describes the other types of events and event elements, most of which may be found in combinations.
