Coven is the Magic: Puzzle Quest version of the same named condition that relates to the amount of creatures with different powers on the battlefield.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, Coven is a named condition that verifies if the player controls 2 or more creatures with different powers. Coven reads:
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, Day and Night mechanics are split into sub mechanics that relate to the paper version of the Day and Night token and its adjacent mechanics.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest the Day and Night token is adapted as a double sided token support that reads:
The Daybound and Nightbound mechanics are new evergreen icons that sign that a creature is bound to a side of the Day and Night support.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, the Daybound and Nightbound hints read:
Daybound Nightbound
Some cards from the paper version had interactions with the Day and Night token even though they didn’t have the original Daybound and Nightbound mechanics. This was adapted as a new trigger and evergreen icon named Dayshift.
In Magic: Puzzle Quest, the Dayshift hint reads:
A new icon evergreen is introduced with Innistrad: Midnight Hunt (MID), called Imminent Death. It indicates that a creature is about to lose a reinforcement or be destroyed. The Imminent Death hint reads:
In Innistrad: Midnight Hunt (MID), an evergreen icon will be created for the Zombie tokens with Decayed. In Magic: Puzzle Quest, since all creatures attack every turn and no creatures block by default (except for creatures with specific evergreens), Decayed will be adapted differently.
Decayed is an evergreen icon that reads:
The Disturb mechanic was adapted as a new mechanic that allows players to cast cards from their graveyard (respecting the Disturb cost’s colors). Cards with Disturb in the graveyard will gain mana when players match their colors’ respective gems and, when the cost is met, they’ll be cast from the graveyard transformed. When a transformed Disturb card dies, it is exiled. Its evergreen reads:
The keyword Bloodletting is being introduced as a new named condition. It cares about the opponent having lost life during a given turn. Also, the keyword Casting a Spell is being introduced as a new named trigger for when the player casts a Spell card.
The Bloodletting hint reads:
The Casting a Spell hint reads:
“Perform the following effect(s) whenever you cast a Spell card.”
Puzzle Master (PMA)
Corrupt is the Black version of Improved Gems. It can only affect Black gems and, if it's unable to affect them (either due to the lack of Black gems on the board or because of another condition), Corrupt will convert gems to Black in order to improve them.
A Corrupted gem either gives mana to cards with Buried or makes the player lose life if they don’t own cards with Buried on their graveyard.
Corrupted hint reads:
“When a player Corrupts a gem, the last card without Buried in their graveyard gains Buried X, where X is equal to that card's base mana cost. When a player destroys a Corrupted gem, it gives 3 mana to the last card with Buried in their graveyard that can gain mana. If one or more Corrupted gems can't give mana this way, that player loses 3 life for each time it has failed. Corrupted gems count as Improved gems.”
Corrupt
Unearth is a mechanic directly related to Buried, which can bring creatures from the graveyard directly to the battlefield. It plays similar to Flashback and Escape.
When a card with Unearthed is cast from a graveyard, it gains haste and is reinforced a number of times equal to the number of instances of that card in its owner’s graveyard.
Unearth hint reads:
Arlinn and Wrenn have a passive ability named Harmony that represents both Wrenn’s symbiotic relationship with Seven and Arlinn’s dream of harmony between species.
Mechanically speaking, Arlinn’s version is similar to the Daybound/Nightbound effects, transforming her whenever the period of the day shifts.
Wrenn and Seven, however, have a strong passive to compensate for being a monocolored Planeswalker. Wrenn and Seven’s passive reads:
PMA Planeswalkers may now come with a passive ability. Liliana, Master of Death’s passive ability is named Master of Death.
Master of Death is a passive with the goal of increasing interaction with the graveyard. It triggers special effects whenever a creature with Buried controlled by the player dies.
Master of Death reads:
“When a creature you control with Buried dies: It gains half of its mana.”
Master of Death
“Seven. Those are the number of times that the Planeswalker Wrenn has symbiotically bonded with a treefolk. The reason why, unfortunately, is unknown. For survival? Harmony? Power? This dryad is as puzzling as her current treefolk pair, Seven.”

”For the lost and forgotten, I’ll keep watch”. Teferi stayed true to his oath to the Gatewatch when he came to aid the plane of Innistrad. The nights are longer and the werewolf threat is nigh. Nevertheless, Teferi will slow even time itself to bring a little more light in this moment of darkness.
“Arlinn Kord’s dream of a harmony between humans and werewolves strives further away as Innistrad’s nights grow longer and werewolves grow feraler. To protect the humans, Arlinn goes on a quest to restore the day and night balance - not just as a Planeswalker, but as a human. As a werewolf. As the pack’s hope.”
“Many fear the cold and cringing clutches of death. Liliana is no different - she knows how powerful and frightening death can be, and she uses it. As a weapon, as a tool, as a means to an end. Liliana will not be surrendered by death: she’ll master it.”

Mechanic Icon Alteration
PMA Planeswalkers may now come with a passive ability. Chandra, Ignited is being reworked to support a passive ability, which will be called Ignited.
Ignited is a passive ability with the goal of helping players to access their spell resources easily while they’re focusing on gem destruction. Ignited reads:
All Puzzle Masters releases will contain its own Mox card. In this release, we'll have the Mox Jet (Black) for Liliana, Master of Death.
From now on, all the Mox cards will have a specific color, according to the Planeswalker color from that PMA release. That’s why we're changing Mox Ruby (from the previous PMA content) to be a Red-colored card instead of Colorless.
