Creature cards with Disturb  from the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt set (of which there are only 9 in total) are required for completion of the top node's secondary objective, but the permanent support on the bottom node makes its Blood objective trivial.

Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed.

As of April 2023, Matrimonium has only been run three times.

Notes

As of April 2023, Matrimonium has only been run three times; its launch in December 2021, and in 2022 in January and July. The March 2022 running of the event was changed to another, presumably because of matching concerns.

Bugs

Players from low Mastery tiers were matched with players from Gold and Platinum tiers in the December and January matches.
