Introduced The Lost Caverns of Ixalan LCI · Jan 2024 · v6.4
Portal:Events   (Infobox · Data)
'“As the River Heralds began to decipher the ancient map, they were staggered by the vastness of the world-within-the-world that it revealed.”

The consequences of the Phyrexian invasions were terrible. Ixalan as a whole suffered at the hands of the Phyrexians, but this triggered a new cycle of expeditions. A new world within the plane full of wonders and riches brought a new rush for exploration. A new world full of new dangers to be unveiled.

Lost in Caverns of Ixalan is a Standard event which was introduced in January 2024, with the release of the Lost Caverns of Ixalan set.

All nodes have the same first and third of three objectives: Win, obviously, but also Leyline 10: convert 10 gems.

Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed. This is extremely unlikely to inconvenience anyone, since the available ribbons are so far in excess of the maximum reward amount.

Every node has its own special support; a copy is given to each player.

Notes

Difficulty creep has been noticable before this event, with the "summon 15 creatures" and "gain 20 life" of Family Business making purchasing Ajani more desirable, but with high requirements for all of ItWoE's second objectives, across the board, there doesn't seem to be any financial motivation; just a preference for increased difficulty.

For example, although a handful of events' Mightstone objectives require power 6 creatures, no other events require six of any power.

However, the rewards are also considerable, and vital should there continue to be no daily event for WOE. The Rune rewards in particular are lavish, compared to any other event, although this mostly affects newer players.
