This page contains historical information about the old five-node Battle of Four Tribes event, appearing from March 2018 to January 2019.

Since February 2019, Battle of Four Tribes has been split into two new events (see Battle of Four Tribes), and the original five-node event, described below, is no longer run.

Historical Special Rules

Third Bosses on each Node have a special permacolour node that gives extra abilities. With the exception to Azor, the Lawbringer, the permacolour nodes affect both players. Azor's permacolor node only affects his abilities.

Third Node Bosses are:

1.3 Admiral Beckett Brass - Pirates

2.3 Zacama, Primal Scream - Dinosaurs

3.3 Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca - Merfolk

4.3 Elenda, the Dusk Rose - Vampires

5.3 Azor, the Lawbringer

Historical Bugs

Known Bugs

Date Run App Version Node Fixed Bug Description
3/20/18 2.5 4.2 If you have Gideon's Intervention out, Vona’s ability will deduct a shield instead of destroying your creature.  This is true of all prevent damage effects. However, Vona will still gain life.
3/20/18 2.5 4.3 4/14/18 First objective is listed with placeholder text: Objective_Sacrifice_Text
3/20/18 2.5 x.3 Many “Destroy Support” effects will target the permanent supports.  Tested out with Demolish, in particular.  It also targets those owned by the player.
3/20/18 2.5 2.3 Silverclad Ferocidons never kills the AI’s creatures.  Probably related to the permanent support bug as listed above.
3/20/18 2.5 5.3 4/14/18 Spells acquired via Pyromancer’s Goggles can cast on turns when you are not supposed to be able to cast spells.  Observation is that Azor’s abilities may only impact cards that are in your hand during his turn.
3/20/18 2.5 2.3 The regeneration effect offered by the permanent support wears off before your Dinosaur can regenerate any hit points, so is not useful.
3/20/18 2.5 5.1 If you have a creature with Ascend while you have the City’s Blessing and you steal a copy of that same creature, it will lose Ascend for the rest of the match.  Observed with Lay Claim and Wayward Swordtooth.
