Rising Tensions: GRN 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 .
Like its sister event, Rising Tensions: RNA, five variations of the event are run during weekdays on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday rotation. On each day, the player fights for a different Guild featured in the Guilds of Ravnica set. The player battles against nodes representing the other four Guilds.
The event was run M-F until Rising Tensions: RNA was released when it moved to every other week starting March 13th 2019.
Starting May 13th the event was removed from the schedule and the same day the VIP Plan was announced. It was later stated this was a coincidence.
The 3.4 patch removed the 200 runes from secondary objectives.
Following a poll on the user forums the event returned on a M-W-F basis starting June 3rd 2019.
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."
