The player may construct their own deck, with the following additional restrictions:
* '''Both sides:''' Can only use cards from the [[ORI]], [[ZVE]], [[BFZ]], and [[OGW]] card sets.
* '''The Eldrazi Devastation:''' Cannot use green or white cards.
 
The side with the most victories at the end of the event is the winning side.
=== Zendikar (Nissa Worldwaker) ===
* Whenever a player casts a card with {{Ability|Awaken}}, create 4 Forest {{Ability|Token|Tokens}} under that player's control.
