Battle for Zendikar has its own section in Story mode: a Training battles with free card prizes called Learn the Basics, and Battle for Zendikar Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 Story campaigns.
Garruk Wildspeaker, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, Koth of the Hammer and Ob Nixilis Reignited are Planeswalkers released at the same time as the set. All of them have only Origins cards in their Starting Decks.
Origins and BFZ Planeswalkers have lower combined mana bonuses than most other single color PWs. This is even true of Koth of the Hammer, with the highest single bonus in the game, at +9. Koth's bonuses, added together, are, like the other BFZ PWs, +7, compared to all other mono PWs' +9. Ob Nixilis has the same total bonus as do Origins PWs: +5.
There are no Battle for Zendikar events, but BFZ cards are given as rewards for Oath of the Gatewatch: Part 1 and Part 2, and Avacyn's Madness.
Cards
Battle for Zendikar is the largest set apart from Origins, consisting of 238 cards across all rarities except Masterpiece.
Oath of the Gatewatch cards were included in Battle for Zendikar packs on release of that second set, just as with subsequent main and expansion sets until Hour of Devastation.
