Overview

Rising Tensions is a PvE Standard event introduced in November 2018, along with the release of the Guilds of Ravnica set. The event has an entry fee of 20  .

Five variations of the event runs during the week. On each day, the player fights for a different Guild of Ravnica. The player battles against nodes representing the other four Guilds.

Backstory

"The friction between the guilds of Ravnica has never been more palpable. An absent Guildpact has given rise to new guild leaders with unknown agendas. On this critical moment, each guild must gather information and seek for possible allies."

Special rules

  Color restriction One or more nodes in this event can only be played by Planeswalkers of a specified color.

The Guild of the day provides a special benefit (to both players) on all nodes via a permanent support.
