Revolving Planeswalk has five varieties, which are run as daily events during the week, each with an entry fee of 20 Mana Crystals. Each version of the event and each node corresponds to a different colour. All five nodes and their special supports appear in every version, run in a slightly different order for each color of event. The first node is always the color of the event; the rest are run in the order: Blue, Black, Red, Green, with White taking the place of whichever other color might be first. Subsequent nodes are unlocked by defeating the previous node.

It has a special form of locked nodes; similar to Seize the Day

The Special Rules are: Locked Nodes, Color Restricted, and Permanent Supports affecting play.

Day Event Version Color Node Order
Monday Order of the Blessed White White White Node Blue Node Black Node Green Node Red Node
Tuesday Faculty of the Wise Blue Blue Blue Node White Node Black Node Green Node Red Node
Wednesday Well of the Autocratic Black Black Black Node Blue Node White Node Green Node Red Node
Thursday Battle Cry of the Furious Red Red Red Node Blue Node Black Node Green Node White Node
Friday Nursery of the Consonant Green Green Green Node Blue Node Black Node White Node Red Node

RP features no unique elements of the DMU set. Instead, all of the ten objectives require the Summoning of two creatures with a Basic EvergreenBerserkerDeathtouchDefenderDouble StrikeFirst StrikeFlyingHexproofLifelinkMenaceReachTrampleVigilance ability, with two exceptions: HasteHaste is not an Evergreen ability, and the fliers of the Blue Node must be Cast). Two abilities are each node, totalling nine of the twelve Basic Evergreens; all except BerserkerBerserker, LifelinkLifelink and HexproofHexproof.

Revolving Planeswalk nodes have a very fast, two hour recharge time.

Special rules

Each event in the series has the following special features:

Locked nodes Locked nodes Once a Planeswalker has been chosen for a node, it's locked in for the whole event.
Color restriction Color restriction One or more nodes in this event can only be played by Planeswalkers of a specified color.
Permanent support Permanent support
A permanent support affects play on one or more nodes.

A Planeswalker may be chosen for any combination of the nodes of its colors, but once a Planeswalker has been chosen for a node, another may not be chosen for that node, for the whole event. For example, a Nicol Bolas could be chosen for all three of Blue node and Black node and Red node, but the player could not switch to him if a Jace had already been chosen for Blue node. This differs from the usual type of Locked Nodes, where a PW can only be chosen for a single node.

Notes

Oktagon announced plans to release versions of Revolving Planeswalk for each new set, and the first of these, Revolving Planeswalk: BRO Edition, was released a month after the The Brothers’ War set, in January of 2023. The new versions are planned to complement, not replace, Revolving Planeswalk.

RP replaced Zendikar Expeditions as the daily event. ZE offered five nodes, any of which could be played while they had charges.

The initial announcement of the event's release proclaimed a points structure of five Ribbons (25 ) for the win, and three and two for the secondary objectives. Popular criticism of this plan on the forums led to the current points structure, with double the points available.

All of the objectives are named after the Abilities they require except for Winged, which requires creatures with Flying , and Threaten, which requires Menace .

The Evergreens of the secondary objectives, as one might expect, are those common to creatures of that color, except for the Double Strike  required for the Red node. As of the release of this event, there are only two Red Double Strike creatures in the whole of Standard, one of which is a Masterpiece. There are no PWs that summon creatures with Double Strike, and Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas is the only PW that grants it to creatures in hand. Until this might be fixed, it will force players of the Red Node to play White and Red Planeswalkers on it, or forego the points for that objective, or draw the match out for a very long time.

Perhaps oddly, because even Wizards of the Coast calls these abilities Basic, only two of the ten objectives have been seen previously; the Defender name had been used before, but it required Casting, not Summoning.

Bugs

A bug on Black Node was fixed : When a creature with Deathtouch or Menace was summoned, Compleation Station's effect would activate even if it was declined in the popup, giving a random creature Imminent Death.
