| |
| A '''challenge deck''' is [[preconstructed theme deck]] with special ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' cards (like [[elite]] [[creature]]s and [[sorcery|sorceries]]). It is a self-running deck with its own set of rules.<ref>{{NewRef|arcana/challenge-decks-2013-09-11|Challenge Decks|[[Trick Jarrett]]|September 11, 2013}}</ref> The '''challenge cards''' have special [[card back|backs]], which means they aren’t counted as regular ''Magic'' cards. When playing against the challenge deck [[player]]s may use [[hero]] cards.

| | |
| Playing against challenge decks is a [[casual]] [[multiplayer]] variant of ''Magic'', much like [[Horde Magic]]. The players each have 20 life and take their turn simultaneously. Players may begin the game with up to two [[hero]] cards in their [[command|command zone]] to assist in defeating the challenge deck. These act like a [[vanguard]] (or [[Magic online]] avatar). The players win when they meet the challenge deck's win condition. The challenge deck is victorious if all of the players have been eliminated from the game.
