After completing Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015's Tutorial, the first campaign available to players was set on the plane of Innistrad.
| “ | The vampire Sorin Markov has invited you to his home plane of Innistrad to investigate the murders of several Planeswalkers. Could Garruk be behind this? | ” |
There were four matches in the campaign, which once completed would unlock a further five optional opponents[2].
Most enemy decks have two forms: one default, and another for the higher "Planeswalker" difficulty level. The cards exchanged in Planeswalker difficulty are typically more efficient versions of a card from the default deck.

In Planeswalker difficulty, seven lands are substituted for two copies each of Siege Wurm, Titanic Growth , and Wandering Wolf.

Having tested you and found you worthy, Avacyn gives you a new clue as to Garruk's whereabouts: a coin he dropped. You recognize it is from the polis of Meletis on a world known as Theros. One of the city's oracles might be able to tell you more. |
