Hero (card type)
- This article is about the card type. For the obsolete subtype, see Heroes.
Hero is a card type that will be introduced with Theros as part of the Hero's Path of the Theros block.
Hero Cards are physical cards that have Magic-like abilities, but aren't playable as regular Magic cards. [1] They are not for use in tournament decks but instead are awarded to players for completing quests along the Hero's Path. They'll use them to defeat later quests. Each card is double-faced, one side features features game mechanics. The other side a code redeemable for a unique Planeswalker Points achievement on PlaneswalkerPoints.com and a few notes about the quest.
Players will get Hero cards in their prerelease packs, at the Release Weekend Friday Night Magic and at Game Day. Hero cards act like a Vanguard or emblem, while playing against the challenge deck during Game day. The hero cards do not have Magic backs and do not go into the player's regular deck.
