Although other events with all charges available at the start of the event had appeared before, FTC was the last event released before this was made standard practice in mid-March 2024. There are no recharges, and charges cannot be lost.

Following the Clues is one of only a handful of PvP events that do not give Individual rewards. Other than the daily events, the holiday events, lucrative ones like Across Ixalan, and the already unusual Role Reversal, every single one is a new event by Webcore : Commoner Cup, Into the Wilds of Eldraine, Leyline Dominion, Locomotive Looters, Lost in Caverns of Ixalan, and Mana Burn.
