What’s Coming with 8.0.1: THE PLANESWALKER CHALLENGE and more! (Updated Jul 21 2026)

The Planeswalker Challenge

Master the color to forge your path through the Multiverse, claim legendary allies to unlock your true potential, and dive into a massive deluge of over 400 new challenges and exclusive rewards.

Mind the Trials

The Planeswalker Challenge have officially arrived, unlocked from the moment you complete Story Mode for the very first time. This isn’t a temporary skirmish; it’s a massive, permanent addition to your journey, designed to bridge the gap between rising challengers and true veterans. Test your skills across different mana colors to gather vital resources, rare cards, and currencies to power up your collection and prepare your deck for the ultimate tests that await in the Multiverse.

Steer the Currents of Mastery

Introducing a monumental gauntlet of content featuring 70 distinct levels for each individual mana color, plus an additional 70 levels dedicated entirely to the Multicolor node.

Daily Rhythm, Zero Friction

You can progress and conquer up to 3 levels per day. The twist? Your daily chances are only consumed when you secure a victory. If you lose, you keep your ticket, giving you total freedom to re-strategize, tweak your deck, and try again without penalties.

The Roster of Allies

Facing these trials requires additional help. The moment you unlock the mode, four Planeswalkers will immediately join your roster for free: Chandra, Roaring Flame; Gideon, Battle Forged; Jace, Telepath Unbound; Liliana, Defiant Necromancer.

If you already own any of these Planeswalkers, don’t worry! A gift will be sent to you when the patch rolls out.

Rare Cards and Exclusive Foils

The ultimate prize for true mastery. Conquering the highest levels of these challenges will award rare cards and exclusive Foil Cards that cannot be obtained anywhere else in the entire game.

How It Works

Access:

Jump straight into the action via the new dedicated buttons on your Home Screen or through the Story Mode Screen.

Daily Shift:

Each day of the week, specific mana colors will call you to battle. Be sure to check in daily to see which color is active and plan your next move.

Strict Alignment:

Single-color challenges restrict you to using a Planeswalker of that exact color.

The Multicolor Node:

All restrictions vanish. Use any planeswalkers to test your favorite strategies against unique enemy lineups.

Progression:

You can clear up to 3 levels per day. Your daily limits only count toward your victories, meaning you can keep playing and trying again until you secure your wins for the day.

And this is only the beginning! This initial launch is just the first step for the Planeswalker Challenge, and we plan to introduce even more levels, trials, and rewards over time to keep pushing your skills to new heights.

The Special Summer Celebration Pack

The tides-turning but time-limited Summer Celebration Pack has arrived!

To empower your journey, we have designed a completely new card-opening experience that is smoother and more rewarding than ever before.

A Surge of (rare) Cards:

Every single Summer Celebration Pack now delivers an increased quantity of 8 cards at once to grow your collection at lightning speed.

The pack is calibrated so that Rare, Mythic, and Masterpiece cards are significantly more present in your opening experience. Best of all, this selection features handpicked community favorites and some of the most powerful cards in the meta, alongside full-arts to make your deck truly legendary.

In Control of The Odds:

We have engineered a more predictable and rewarding rhythm for your hunt. The system works heavily in your favor, ensuring that your dedication is met with a steady, guaranteed frequency of Mythic and Masterpiece pulls. No dry streaks.

The Summer Pack will be available at the Store throughout the entire Summer Celebration for 240 Crystals. However, you can also expand your collection entirely through gameplay: earn packs by completing Story Mode, conquering the Weekly Challenge, playing the Special Summer Event, or simply finishing your Daily Quests. In fact, by completing your Daily Quests, you can claim one free pack every single day. In total, players will be able to get 23 packs for free, just by playing the game.

  • Weekly Quest - 2x Packs (1 per week)

  • Story Mode - 4x Packs (2 per week)

  • Special Event - 1x Pack

  • Daily Quest - 14x Packs (1 per day)

  • Login Bonus - 2x Packs (1 per week)

Summer Celebration Pack is a Limited-Time offer: July 21st to August 5th.

A Summer Storm

I have a boat, and a map. You look like you have the will and the courage, and I need a crew. I need me someone that will go to the ends of the world for treasure. Are you in?

In this time-limited event, creatures are turned into treasure chests, taking your existing forces off the board. These chests then rupture open, replacing your army with entirely new, erratic creatures unleashed straight into the fray.

This shifting tide always pushes forward. Every new creature is guaranteed to be a higher tier, costing 1 mana more than the creature before it, steering the escalating chaos of the fight into your favor.

Adapt to the tides, survive the storm, and claim the exclusive rewards that await those bold enough to conquer the chaos.

Exclusive reward: Vraska, the Silencer (Foil)

Event Duration: July 22nd to August 5th

New Story Mode: Deep Sea Threats

Set sail into a mysterious archipelago to hunt for a goddess rumored to command the terrors of the deep. Track her down and convince her to join the crew.

Face off against the sea goddess to claim an exclusive Mythic Foil Vanguard Card: Kiora, the Crashing Wave.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide Is Here

Harness Blue, Black, and Green with Magic: Puzzle Quest’s first-ever Sultai powerhouse.

Fill your graveyard to unlock a devastatingly synergistic engine. Once it hits critical mass, turn your graveyard into raw mana and card advantage. This constant recursion feeds your board, scaling your defensive units into aggressive, game-ending threats.

Bonuses Refreshed

To completely ignite your preparation for the trials ahead, the Bonus Crystal Purchase has been fully reset. Your very first Crystal purchase in the store will now yield double the amount of Crystals

And while you’re there, be sure to check out our brand-new Foil Bundle and special offers to fully arm yourself for the trials ahead.

This sounds cool! Thanks for something new and different!

Now this is something cool to look forward too! The devs are cooking with this one.

A great update. But they could have brought back the ability to download this game on tablets!

I still can’t download and update Magic Puzzle Quest on my Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet. And I still haven’t received a response from support, which I contacted a week ago!
And in this version 8.0.1 will there be download availability for my tablet?!
I played games on that tablet and everything was stable, no problems, and I didn’t even complain, but then one day I lost the ability to download from Google Play on my tablet. So now, with my vision, I’m going to play on a smartphone if all the text is small?

Very exciting stuff! Looking forward to the new-and-improved pack opening experience!

I’m intrigued.

So sometimes next week this will land?

This is a digital game, foils are completely useless here. Make it that it’s not a “new card” to level up but an visual option to unlock as an alternative version.

I’m really looking forward to this. I hope that in the future there will be seasonal events for each season or holiday. I love celebrating seasons and holidays for any reason. I’m glad you have increased the pull rate for rare and up. I hope that you also figure out something to do with runes. I have about 14 million or so just sitting there. I need to convert them to something…orbs, premium pack. I would love it if I could use them to purchase one time PW super power or charge of something or a support you can only get using orbs. Anything to get them spent.

I would exchange it for a crafting resource or pink crystals

I’ll be honest, I keep checking the App Store for an update.

Supes excited

Just updated it. But what worries me:
• the list of future PW’s has disappeared (next rotation)
• all boosters and elite packs disappeared, only those that I did not open remained

I don’t understand… what’s going on. I hope that after a reboot it will return to normal. But please bring back the elite boosters on the topic of TSP

I’m pretty nerdy, so I have a spreadsheet for collecting planning.

The upcoming PWs that were released after March of the Machine are Jace, the Perfected Mind (295), Kaya, Spirits’ Justice (650), Ugin, Eye of the Storms (850) and Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools (295). I’m unsure of anything before MoM.

And there was another problem.

Last time, the guys found the “secret” by accident and tried the Challenge, but completed it only 3 times a day and then the developers hid this “secret” from us. And today they updated it and I logged in and saw the saved counter that I had completed 3 stages on the black node.
But! What to do with the reward on the black node if we tested this Challenge? There are chests visible there (I checked today on the blue node) and I don’t know if on Wednesday (this is the turn of the black node) I will receive such a reward with foil cards or should I register in support to give out 2 missing rewards from two chests?
