Tips of game

Acquire Multicolored Planeswalkers

Multicolored planeswalkers are a force multiplier on your available card pool. They allow you to play powerful decks without straining your color mastery. However, your mana crystal income is limited at this stage, so you should focus on only buying the best of the best as they appear in rotation, covered below.

Because your crystal income is so limited, I would recommend not spending it on anything else (packs or cards) until you have a strong planeswalker suite that covers all your colors. Even if there isn’t a strong planeswalker in the upcoming rotations, it’s worth it to hold onto your crystals because the overall rate you will want to spend on powerful planeswalkers is higher than your income.

Keep Your Mastery Low

Color mastery is the most important thing to keep track of in MTG Puzzle Quest. Each card has a certain number of times you can use it before you master it, and it adds to your mastery total. If your mastery in any color reaches 100, you will be promoted to the next tier. Because Bronze has such a low mastery ceiling, you can expect not to see too many players playing mythic cards. In higher tiers this is no longer the case, and you will face many strong opponents with diverse and powerful decks. In general, Silver tends to have stronger planeswalkers and a few powerful cards, and Gold has consistently strong walkers with powerful decks. Having removal is much more important in higher tiers as the threats you see are much scarier.

Know What’s Coming up in Fblthp

Fblthp offers a rotating selection of cards in his event. Complete all objectives to see them all. Full art cards in a set will be available through this store, so if you see something you want, save your crystals for when you see it. Nalthazar posts videos reviewing these full art cards shortly after the set comes out. Some of these cards are very powerful.

Event Rankings

I will be ranking events on a scale of S-F.

S’s are the best of the best. Easy to clear with fantastic rewards, these are events you should try to play whenever they happen. A’s are solid events you actively want to play, but that take slightly more time or effort than an S. B’s are events that are still probably worth your time, but don’t have anything special about them. Many of the new coalition events fall into this category. C’s are events you would play if you’re bored, but nothing you would prioritize. D’s are more like C-’s, but I was running out of space on the graph. E’s are events with really low payouts and high effort, timesinks that give little in return. F’s are events that do not have crystals or packs in their rewards.

This is a brief overview of the events, for more in-depth analysis on how to beat them, see Nalthazar’s Acheiving Perfection series of videos.

Singleplayer Events

S

Dual Decks: X vs Y: Free entry, great rewards. If you wait a bit before joining the second part you can see who’s in the lead. Farming the mythic duplicates from this is a great way to get booster crafting orbs for turning into Origins mythics.

A Journey Through History (All versions): These can be fully completed by clearing the first node four times, so are easily doable for new players. The rewards are quite good, including multiple packs, a rare card, and crystals.

Tour de Ravnica: Same as A Journey Through History, this is an awesome event.

Routes of Ravnica: Same as Tour de Ravnica, awesome event.

Planechasing Fblthp: The first game is a pack and each objective is 1K runes. Additionally, completing all the objectives unlocks an additional card you can purchase. This isn’t usually worth it, but sometimes you can find some insane deals from this. The Prismatic Bridge and Koma were recently available from this even for 400 crystals as of writing, for example.

A

Seize the Day: Only Origins and Oddessy block cards are legal, but this is a fun event with strong rewards. The rewards also make beating it in the future much easier, as they’re generally strong cards with a high rate of rares.

Awakened Inferno: Winning with a beginner deck is basically impossible, but this event is still great. Interesting modifiers and generous rewards make for an event you won’t want to miss.

Colors of Magic: Cards that cost 11 are nice here, as these count for the objectives on both nodes. The peasant objective is a freebie. The Chandra Anthology packs you get for the ranking rewards have some very good cards.

The Colossal Tussle: A cool event with very good rewards if you can place well, which you will want to aim for due to the steep entry fee.

Skoti Bloodline: Similar to The Colossal Tussle, this event is hugely rewarding if you can place high on the leaderboard, but requires an investment of 30 crystals up front.

B

Across Ixalan: An easy free pack, and can net nice mana runes as you rank up.

Zendikar Expeditions: The entry fee means you’ll want to get all the rewards if you enter to make sure you’re net crystal positive, but you do get a rare card for your troubles. Note that the Adventurer supports have their associated creature type, and count for the objective.

Fables of Eldraine: Not too hard, good rewards. Note that you need to unlock a node to start accumulating charges on it. The placement rewards are mostly decoration.

Trick or Treat?: Very easy, ok rewards. If you go for the rank rewards it’s more work.

Hero's Path - Face the Hydra*: This is either a C or an A, depending on if you can clear the second node. It has large creatures with double strike, so you will need hard removal to take them out.

C

Rising Tensions: This used to be S tier, but got nerfed hard when it rotated out of standard. It’s still a decent rate with no commitment.

Emergency Ordinances: It can be hard to complete the objectives as a new player, but once you have cards that energize, the rewards aren’t bad.

Duets of Mana: Difficult event, hard to make much progress as a new player. The rewards are good if you can clear them, but you’ll have to gague that yourself.

Fate is Rarely Fair: The rewards on the one are high, but so are the costs. As with Emergency Ordinances, this will require engergize cards to complete all obejctives.

D

Oath of the Gatewatch: Grindy, not the worst in difficulty, not great rewards.

Trial of Ambition: Pretty low rewards for a lot of a grind, but not the worst.

Revolt against the Consulate: Similar to Trial of Zeal, this is bad.

Fateful Showdown: The difficulty level is too high for new players to get any good rewards. Same setup as Trial of Zeal.

Trial of Zeal: Difficult event for new players. It’s hard to get past Hooded Hydra without hard removal, and Neheb is even harder, making it quite tough to get to the first pack reward.

Angels' Embrace: The remaining events here are holiday-specific, so they don’t come up often. This one is for valentine’s day. Not hard, but long and not great rewards.

Hallow's Eve: This one is for Halloween. Not hard, but long and not great rewards.

Holiday Showdown: The Christmas event. Not hard, but long and not great rewards.

E

Nodes of Power: Fairly easy to do well in for new players, but it’s a large time comittment. I’ve stopped playing them after two months. You might as well join them for the participation award though, even if you don’t plan to play.

Emrakul's Corruption: This event sucks. Play 20 games for a booster pack.

Terrors in the Shadows: Same as above, awful event.

Training Grounds*: This is less of an event and more a place to test decks, but if you’re using it as an event, it’s meh.

F

Trial of the Planes: Sixty crystals isn’t worth it. If it’s free, the pack is nice. The other rewards are meh.

Role Reversal: More of a novelty than anything. Play it if you think it’s fun, because there’s not much incentive otherwise.
