While Story Mode and Training are great places to start playing and gain card rewards, Events are the mainstay of Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest. PvE and PvP events allow players to gain Resources as well as cards.

Events generally consist of one or more Nodes, which are either limited to the number of Charges, or can be played repeatedly. Winning and achieving objectives gathers Ribbons to increase score; the score, in turn, determines Rewards.

The Rewards from a PvP event are split according to the events' scoring tiers, and each time an event fills up with the number of players equal to the tiers' limit, new Brackets are created. This effectively makes new events for players that subsequently join, except that players will face off against opponents from any Bracket.

Every weekend, Coalition events are held; join a Coalition before the event starts to play them, and receive Coalition points. Events usually start off as Standard, often becoming Legacy when their associated set rotates out of Standard.

The Icon descriptions table describes the other types of events and event elements, most of which may be found in combinations.
