Revision as of 23:00, 18 October 2022 by AnarchangeI (talk | contribs)

Cards are the heart and soul of Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest.

Players form Decks out of cards they own to take into a game. Games are won or lost based on the cards played. Cards are played by filling them with Mana, which is gained by matching Gems on the Gem board.

Cards are acquired from Card packs. New cards are released in Card sets, at a rate of approximately five or six per year.

Packs and releases

See Packs and sets

Hibernum expansions

As of October 2022, there were 37 sets released, but there are only 34 Booster packs available. Eldritch Moon cards were moved into Shadows over Innistrad packs, Oath of the Gatewatch to Battle for Zendikar, and Aether Revolt was rolled into Kaladesh. Hibernum made them expansion sets; they are not available to purchase on their own, although they have been offered as prizes on occasion. Hour of Devastation was the first set to not be added to the pool of cards of the previous, odd-numbered release.
