Training (Story)

The Training Story level teaches new mechanics introduced to the game with each card set since Shadows over Innistrad.

EventsStoryPlaneswalkersCardsGuides

It is broken up into one chapter per card set. Each chapter has a varying number of battles. In each battle, the player uses a provided Planeswalker with pre-built deck against a level 1 opponent. From the beginning, these were almost always level 1 versions of Planeswalkers from the associated set.

Battles

The series begins, on the sets that game developer Hibernum brought out, with opponents based on cards, as with the Origins Story battles. Developer Oktagon briefly went back to this during the XLN and RIX Training, and even had the player play a card avatar in the M19 training, but otherwise, from DOM onward, the enemies are as the players: L1 Planeswalkers from the associated set.

Players looking for a fast Story game to farm for objectives could do worse than Ixalan (XLN) #3, with its 20 HP opponent and their own 6/5 creature already on the board. Although a creature is the first card in hand, it costs 16, so it is likely the player can win the game without casting it, for "cast no creatures" objectives. Extra swaps are everywhere, but M21 #1 is easy to remember, and DMU #4 (Phyrexian gems) consistently gives a five-swap followed by a three-swap cascade into a second five-swap on the first turn. Other quests can be completed easily, such as casting White cards with SNC #2.

There is no training for The Brothers' War since it introduced no new game mechanics.

Excluding the random pack rewards, the Training rewards constitute 22 White cards, 22 Blue, 18 Black cards, 23 Red, 19 Green cards, and 7 Colorless cards.

Training for new sets would appear to have been discontinued, with the most recent being for Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
