[[Nodes of Power]] is a Legacy event which was introduced in July 2016, a month after the release of the [[Oath of the Gatewatch]] set. It was the first PvP event added to the game after Quick Battle.
Each battle in this event features the same secondary objective twice, the second time with a more difficult target.
Once a Planeswalker has been chosen for a node, another may not be chosen for that node, nor may that Planeswalker be chosen for another node, for the whole event.
Charges are added in excess of the maximum; charges can be missed.
The March 2023 run made [[#Notes|alterations]] to the event, introducing new objectives for [[#Node 3: Black|Black node]], and changing the order of the nodes into the standard color order.

== Schedule==
Begins at midnight UTC and ends 46 hours later, at 10PM UTC. One initial charge and five recharges on five nodes, for 210 total Ribbons. With a maximum of three charges, the player must finish their first game less than a day after commencement, and subsequent games less than eight hours later, or miss charges.
== Rewards ==
Unlike other older events, rewards for Nodes of Power were detached from the set of its origin and flavor: [[Battle for Zendikar]]. Rewards were changed from [[BFZ]] to [[M21]] and Standard in 2021. Rare card rewards were changed briefly from M21 to [[AFR]] in December 2022, and back to M21 in February 2023.{{Rewards header progression|April 2019May 2021}}

The order of the nodes was changed from the irregular Black Red Green Blue White, to the standard color wheel of White Blue Black Red Green seen in so many places, including on the back of Magic the Gathering cards and [[Revolving Planeswalk]]. New objectives for [[#Node 1: Black|Black node]] replaced these objectives :{{Objective table header}}{{Objective|Survivor|50|2}}{{Objective|Survivor|20|1}}

The then first, Black node counted remaining life as maximum life minus damage taken, plus any life gained while at maximum life. The first part was only misleading; neither damage nor the distinction between damage and loss of life were mentioned. But the second part was unequivocally a bug; there is quite obviously a ceiling to life gain: maximum life. Players needed to avoid using life gain until sufficient damage is taken, avoid or at least account for life loss and counteract that life loss with sufficient life gain to stay alive.
