==Overview==Story Mode was the original content for ''[[Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest]]''. It is where all players start out; [[Events]] and [[Coalition]] game content is unlocked for a new player only after they beat the first chapter of the [[#Origins|Origins]] story using [[Nissa, Sage Animist]].
==Story Mode Levels==Story Mode has four pageslevels, navigated by activating via the white arrow arrows facing to the right on and left at the top right corner of the Origins Story Mode screen, on the left side on the [[#Heroic Encounters|Heroic Encounters]] screen, and on both sides on the [[#Training|Training]] and [[#Battle for Zendikar|Battle for Zendikar]] screens. Each level has at least 4 chapters, and each chapter has up to 20 battles.

=== Origins ===
The Origins story features battles of increasing difficulty. In each battle, all of the opponents' cards are from the [[Origins ]] set.
=== Training ===
The Training story features short chapters with specially designed battles and prefabricated decks to introduce players to the new mechanics of specific [[: Template:Card Set ListCards|Card setsets]]s. Many Training chapters provide as rewards [[Cards]]The player is given pre-fabricated decks in these battles, and in including cards that they may not own or see elsewhere for quite some cases [[Card pack]]s, from the corresponding card settime.
=== Battle for Zendikar ===
The Battle for Zendikar story features a tutorial (similar to Training) plus further chapters of increasing difficulty. The enemies' cards consist of mostly [[BFZ ]] cards, and some [[Origins ]] cards.
=== Heroic Encounters ===
Heroic Encounters feature a set of relatively high difficulty story battles, corresponding to the five basic Origins planeswalkers. Each level starts with the enemy getting some sort of advantage in the form of creatures and/or supports that are in play before the battle begins.
== Strategies ==
* Early on, play to win and run through the initial rewards, as you will not have the card collections to meet all of the objectives early.
* All The [[#Training|Training]] section should be given a high priority; it is designed to teach players the mechanics of the game and it earns card rewards in a single which are needed for [[Events]] and later sections of the Origins Story mode battle can be earned in two games. To do this, you would meet * Some Training chapters are harder; some are easier or more lucrative. An example of the latter is the two optional objectives in addition to using a three color walker (such as [[Nicol Bolas, God-PharaohWar of the Spark]]) on one run and an opposing two color walker (such as [[Huatlichapter, Radiant Champion]]) to meet all completion of which yields five color objectives{{Ability|Vanguard}} cards, three of them Green, which are quite powerful early on.
