==Overview=={{Infobox portals}}This page describes abilities of cards. Abilities can influence creature combat, the gem [[Gem board]], cards in hand, or other aspects of the game.

*[[#Card Icon Abilities|'''Icon abilities''']] - Abilities denoted by an icon on a card*[[#Card Keyword Abilities|'''Keyword abilities''']] - Abilities denoted by a keyword on a card, which is typically capitalised, bolded, and underlined in the card's text. Bold text in MtGPQ is almost always a link to a pop-up window with explanatory text.

Many abilities are explained interactively in-game in tutorial battles. A table showing which abilities are taught in which [[set]]'s tutorial battles can be found at [[Training (Story)]]. ==Card Icon Abilities==Icon abilities are represented by an icon on the card having the ability. The color of the icon has a meaning as follows:* A '''white''' icon represents an active ability which originally appeared on the card.* A '''yellow''' icon represents an active ability which has been granted by an effect during the game.* A '''red''' icon represents an ability which has been {{Ability|Disable|Disabled}} by an effect, or an ability on a {{Ability|Disabled}} creature. === Combat abilities ===These abilities affect how attacking and blocking creatures interact in combat. See [[Combat Basics]] for more information about creature combat.{| class="wikitable"|+!Ability!Icon!Expansions!Description|- {{IconAbility|Berserker|''all''|Attacks the first enemy creature it can, instead of the enemy Planeswalker.
