New Collection: Dungeons & Dragons - Adventures in the Forgotten Realms has arrived!Get your hands on over 200 new cards, 6 new Planeswalkers, 1 new event and more! Now in Magic: Puzzle Quest!New Mechanics
Pack Tactics
Pack Tactics is the Magic: Puzzle Quest version of the flavoured Pack Tactics that takes into consideration the total amount of power of all attacking creatures in order to trigger an effect
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, Pack Tactics is a named trigger that activates special effects if the player controls 2 or more buffed creatures at the beginning of combat. Pack Tactics reads:
“At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control 2 or more buffed creatures, perform the following effect(s).”
Venture
Venture is the Magic: Puzzle Quest version of Venture into the Dungeon that enables players to play dungeon cards from outside the game and advance through their rooms.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, when players Venture into the Dungeon, if they don’t already control a Dungeon at play, a prompt (similar to STX’s Learn) will be presented for players to choose one to be put into play. When they do, the dungeon will enter the board as a support of its first room, triggering its effects. If they already control a dungeon at play, they’ll advance to its next room and trigger its effects.
When a dungeon is completed, the player will earn Dungeon Spoils, a player evergreen that lists all completed dungeons, used for payoffs for having completed a dungeon.
Venture is both a keyword and an evergreen that reads:
“If you don’t control a Dungeon, pick and create a Dungeon support under your control. Otherwise, destroy your Dungeon support. Then, advance to one of the available rooms.”
Dungeon is both a subtype and an evergreen that reads:
“When you Venture into the last dungeon room, perform its effects, gain Dungeon Spoils, and destroy your dungeon support.”
Venture Dungeon Dungeon Spoils
Roll a D20
Roll a D20 is the Magic: Puzzle Quest version of AFR’s cards that ask the players to roll a die.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, when players Roll a D20, their board will shuffle. This is designed not only to provide the randomness flavor of a die, but also so that board mechanics (like KHM’s Foretell/Foretold) can be more adaptable and easy to trigger.
After shuffling, the player’s D20 evergreen will be updated with a random number from 1 to 20. Cards that roll a die perform different effects according to the value displayed on the D20 player evergreen.
Roll a D20 is both a keyword and evergreen icon that reads
“Shuffle the board and roll a D20. If you don’t have a D20 evergreen, gain one. Then, perform one of the following effects according to the value displayed on your D20 evergreen.”
D20 is player evergreen icon that reads:
“Whenever a card rolls a D20, randomize a value from 1 to 20.”
Roll a D20 D20
Hired
Hired is the Magic: Puzzle Quest version of cards that trigger special effects when mana from a treasure was used to cast them
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, treasure tokens will be adapted to give the evergreen icon named Hired to whichever cards they give mana to. Some cards will activate special effects if they have the Hired evergreen when cast. Hired reads:
“This card received mana from a Treasure.”

How do you get the Dungeons &... support with Dungeon Master? It looks interesting, but it is unclear as to how you get it.1
-
Oh, and what is the new icon on the Planeswalkers just above the "Max Level" that looks sort of like an equal sign with a down arrow on top and an up arrow on bottom? Is that a new button to see things like spoils and devotion for your Planeswalker or something entirely different?1
-
Also, I didn’t see a list of what the dungeons are and what each room does1

Hello...
The icon just above the "Max Level" on the Planeswalkers is the evergreen symbol of a new mechanic introduced with Dungeons & Dragons - Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Planeswalkers now may have passive abilities, besides their loyalty abilities.
Each new set and Planeswalker may have their passive icon and triggers differently set up - In AFR, these abilities are called Alignment, since they relate mostly to the color alignment of each Planeswalker.
The Dungeons &... support is a support created by Dungeon Master's Alignment ability, so it may passively be created on the board while you're playing with Dungeon Master.
These abilities have been introduced mainly as a way to make your monocolored Planeswalkers shine as much as the multicolored ones (aside from some exceptions, like Dungeon Master). Since you have more card limitations to build their decks, they'll compensate this by rewarding you for playing aligned with their colors.
We appreciate the interest 😊3 -
That sounds really cool! Just help me understand the Alignment ability a little bit better. It is thought as a way to balance monocolored Planeswalkers because of the smaller card pool they have at their disposal, right? So, will it be a feature exclusive to monocolred Planeswalkers? I understand that Dungeon Master is a exception so it looks like it is exclusive to monocolored PW. And also, will that be implemented on existing Planeswalkers or will it be only for the ones that come after Adventures in the Forgotten Realms?0

The big disappointment for me is I thought we'd progress through the dungeons similar to a saga card, but it looks like each room has to be triggered by a card or action from the player. I've put a dungeon into play twice now in ZE but stayed on the first room.0
-
MPQ is already too much random: random gem cascades, random card drawing, random effects etc., and now on top of that we have D20 rolls and shuffling. Which is even worse, because you shuffle the board after casting cards, so it's your enemy who will get the resulting board, with a risk of powerful matches. I often swap gems so that enemy has no good matches. To me, this D20 effect is another randomness added to the game and as such, a thing to skip.
Dungeons are dissapointing, too. It felt already with some KHM and STX cards that the descriptions were ridiculously long, and now we get three dungeons, with 5-9 levels, each having effects (and even worse, as criftman pointed out, hidden under hipertext). Thank you, no.
To me, it feels that ZNR is the only set which will be going into new rotation and which is useful. KHM, STX, AFR - to skip. But maybe it's just me.1 -
I plowed through about a half dozen dungeons in one game using Nadaar + Triumphant Adventurer + Barrowin. And the dungeons that gave free cards at the end weren't bad. It's not a T1 mechanic or anything, but it does work in the right shell with the right cards. Hell, just TA + Barrowin is pretty nasty giving you a recurring first striking berserking deathtoucher. That's a thing.Xucachris said:The big disappointment for me is I thought we'd progress through the dungeons similar to a saga card, but it looks like each room has to be triggered by a card or action from the player.

Critman: Dungeons trigger at the start of combat. At the start of the combat round, you trigger the room you're in and then choose the room whose effect will take place at the start of the next combat round.
I'm pretty pleased with most of the set overall, but dungeons definitely are a pain. I knew implementing them would be challenging, but was hoping that designing them like Sagas would work out.
Conceptually, I thought there'd be a permanent support on the board that listed all of the rooms, so you could click on it and reference the dungeon rooms as you progressed through them. Note I have no idea if that was feasible. I'm not a coder.
However, the current implementation is very awkward. The sheer amount of clicks is ridiculous. Thankfully the effects are minor, but the tutorial alone drove me crazy.
--Neat, I get to pick a Dungeon!
--Three dungeons appear
--Long press on Tomb of Annihlation
--See 5 rooms
--Tap on the card to bring up a list of 5 text links
--Click on one after the other.
--Exit card view
--Long press on Dungeon of the Mad Mage
--See 9 rooms
--Guess I'm playing Tomb of Annihlation
Ok, I'm in a dungeon.
--Oh, I get to choose a room!
--Do I want Room II or Room III
--Long press on Room II
--Click on Room II to bring up the card text
--Exit card view
--Long press on Room III
--Click on Room III to bring up the card text
--Exit card view
--Pick a room. Guess next time I'll pick at random.
Also, whomever designs tutorial stages, please stop giving us level 1 planeswalkers with pathetic mana bonuses. It makes the levels take forever and detracts from us learning how to use the effects. You can't showcase them if we can't actually get them on the board. Please just give us a L60 planeswalker and create a permanent support that disables loyalty abilities if you're worried about that.

100% agree with Madwren, level 1 PW on the tutorial stages are a huge pain. The idea of those levels is to get a hang of the abilities. Those should be fast matches and the pathetic mana bonuses makes them way longer than they should be0
-
The https://wiki.mtgpq.info/wiki/Main_Page will probably have the information about the dungeons eventually. We have to do some work collecting all the information but once it's there, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out the optimal route given a particular deck/PW. I find this part actually exciting, where the game doesn't tell you anything and you're left to explore/discover, like what you'd expect when venturing into the unknown. Madwren does have a point that they could have made it more intuitive, user-friendly, and not frustrating.
I hope that the dungeons themselves can be made random and we're not going to be stuck with the same 3 configuration. The room's effect can be fixed, like Goblin's Lair will always create two goblin tokens, and Cave Entrance will always draw you a card, etc but maybe the number of rooms and the path from entrance to exit can vary more (i.e. randomize 5-9 rooms with increasing risks/rewards where the best effect will always be at the exit, and a random path to it).0 -
The dungeon support should probably have been coded as "When this support enters the board, trigger its effect". Instead it was coded as "When this support is destroyed, trigger its effect"
It's more intuitive to me to have the goblin tokens created when you enter the Goblin Lair if we treat each room like a card and you're deciding which one to cast. Either this is a bug or they need to update the release notes.3 -
critman said:Ugh, HATE the dungeons. Please stop hiding important card details behind hypertext!I have to giggle that they use those itty bitty hyperlinks so much, yet we are told that we can't get targeted support destruction because individual gems are too small to accurately select.I have activated a PW ability inadvertently when all I wanted to do was to read the hyperlink text!

That's been the reason provided at least (I'd find the posts but that takes time and I don't care that much anymore, sorry
) We called them out on it then, but now its just getting ridiculous.

In Magic: Puzzle Quest, treasure tokens will be adapted to give the evergreen icon named Hired to whichever cards they give mana to. Some cards will activate special effects if they have the Hired evergreen when cast.
The Hired symbol is assigned to the card that gained mana from destroying a treasure. It shouldn't be random. So if one of your six cards in hand has a special effect when being Hired you want to have that card as the first card in your hand before destroying the treasure token so that specific card gets the token mana and it becomes Hired0 -
@BongoTheGrey - I found it extremely confusing that a card without the hired keyword could gain the hired icon. As far as I can gather there is nothing in the keyword description that explains why that is possible and what I get out of it, so I think @critman has raised a legitimate question.0
-
Every card that gains mana from a gold token receives the hired evergreen. This evergreen is not bound to the keyword/ability some cards have.
0 -
I don't think that it is that confusing. You have always been able to gain mana from popping treasure tokens. After 5.1.0 the card that gained mana from popping a treasure token gains a new evergreen icon called Hired to know that said card gained mana from a treasure tokens. Some cards activate extra abilities if they have that evergreen icon but that evergreen is not exclusive for those cards.
So, you can Hire any card but only a select group of cards give you an extra bonus if they are hired.
I see it as the mutation evergreen. You need a mutate creature to activate it but you can actually mutate any non token creature in the game, so the evergreen icon can be assigned to any non token creature when the condition is met.0
