WHAT’S NEW

• New Collection: Kaldheim, has arrived!
• Heavy battles are going to take place in Kaldheim.
• Get your hands on over 240 new cards, 5 new Planeswalkers, 2 new events, and more! Now in Magic: Puzzle Quest!

NEW MECHANICS:

Boast

• Boast is the Magic:PQ version of the Boast ability, which allows players to pay an additional mana cost when a creature with Boast attacks, to trigger a second effect.
• In Magic:PQ, when a creature with Boast attacks, that creature’s owner may drain mana from their hand at the next turn to activate the Boast ability.

Foretell

• Foretell is an evergreen that allows players to exile a card from their hand, to later cast it from the exile for an alternate cost.
• In Magic:PQ, when a card with Foretell is exiled, a Foretold token support related to the exiled card is created on the board.
• When this support is destroyed, the exiled card will return to its owner’s hand with full mana, with a new icon ability named Foretold, which grants to some cards to trigger additional effects.

Changeling

• In Magic:PQ, Changeling is an icon ability that gives a creature every creature subtype.

Snow

• Snow is a gem-based mechanic that works by creating synergy between cards with the Snow ability and the special Snow Gems.
• A Snow Gem is a special gem that can give some extra mana to cards with the Snow evergreen. Also, some cards gain additional effects if cast with “snow mana”.

Herald

• Herald is an adaptation for double-sided cards with God creatures at one of these sides.
• When a card with Herald enters play, their first cast will always display the non-god side. That card can’t be reinforced, and when cast a second time, if the player still controls the non-God side, the new version will enter the battlefield as the God.

NEW PLANESWALKER:

Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor

“Tibalt should have been executed or jailed for life. Instead, he invoked a potent and hateful spell, from the devil’s utterances and his own grim discoveries. The spell fused his own essence with theirs, at the cost of experiencing all the pain he had inflicted on others.”

Tokens

Red Devil

(Red) Creature (1/1) Token

“When this creature dies, the opponent’s first creature takes damage equal to this creature’s Power.”

Demon Berserker

(Red) Creature – Demon Berserker (2/3) Token

“As long as there is an opposing creature that was dealt damage: This creature gains Berserker.”

Impostor’s Trickery

(Black, Red) Support Card – Emblem (4) Token

“While on the board: Your token creatures and your copy creatures gain Haste.

When an opposing nontoken creature or Artifact support is exiled from anywhere: Create a copy of that card into play under your control. That card gains Enchanted – At the end of your turn: Destroy this card.”

Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor

(Black, Red) Support Card – Vanguard Tibalt (5) Legendary, Herald, Vanguard

“Passive Ability: Herald 8: Valki, God of Lies. When you cast this card: You may exile it. Then, create a copy of this card under your opponent’s control.

Passive Ability: When you activate a Loyalty ability: Exile the first card without mana from your hand.

Passive Ability: When your first creature attacks: It gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Then, deal X damage to your Planeswalker. X is that creature’s power.”

Tyvar Kell

“Tyvar is King Harald’s younger brother, and he’s lived most of his life in his brother’s shadow. However, while a famous brother might inspire jealousy or resentment in some, Harald’s example inspires Tyvar to seek glory and fuels an irrational confidence that he can accomplish almost anything he puts his mind to.”

Kaya the Inexorable

“Kaya is a firm believer that life is for the living. The living should make the most of their lives and pursue what they want while they’ve still got time, and find their own peace before death. If you die with unfinished business, well, that’s probably your fault. And if it’s not…perhaps she could help you…for a price.”

Niko Aris

“Early in Niko’s life, an oracle foresaw a great future for Niko: they were destined to be a great athlete, an undefeated javelineer who would never miss a shot. Niko trained and competed for many years, but in all that time, they heard stories and songs of heroes who would fight to protect people and began to question the destiny prescribed to them.”

Serra the Benevolent

“A human Planeswalker from the distant past, Serra was a powerful and benevolent healer. She created an artificial plane known as Serra’s Realm, where she and her followers lived in peace defended by flights of angels. Though Serra and her realm are long gone, her legacy and teachings have lived on as a beacon of hope throughout the Multiverse.”
