The campaign for Magic Duels: Eldritch Moon follows the Planeswalker Tamiyo and members of The Gatewatch on the plane of Innistrad. They are struggling against the Eldrazi Titan Emrakul who is now freed from captivity following the destruction of the Archangel Avacyn.[1]

There are five matches with preconstructed decks against a series of computer-controlled opponents. Decks are all 60 cards in this expansion.

First mission

The first match of the campaign the player has a Green manaWhite manaBlue mana deck representing the Planeswalker Tamiyo. The computer controls a Blue manaBlack mana deck.

“  The scholar Tamiyo has followed a trail of strange tales, ultimately discovering a ring of twisted stones beneath a churning sky. The ring is fractured in places. Someone—or something—huge has recently passed through here. Behind her, she senses the movement of dark, humanoid shapes rising from the sea’s water.[2]  ”

Tamiyo

Drownyard Cultists

Drownyard Cultists' deck
Victory message
“  The light of Tamiyo’s lantern reveals the fallen forms of the Drownyard cultists. Their distorted faces are nothing more than swarms of tentacles, their limbs warped and distended. What force has wrought these grotesque changes? Looking up, the pale moonlight illuminates the distant, hulking silhouette of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul as she drifts over Innistrad.[2]  ”

Second mission

The second match of the campaign has the monoblack Zombie typal Liliana against Red manaGreen mana Werewolf typal.

“  The necromancer Liliana Vess seethes as intruders shatter the placid calm of her manor. The invading werewolves should know better than to dare fight their way onto the powerful mage’s premises. But these werewolves are different—unnaturally reckless, stronger, and hideously deformed. Liliana quietly promises swift vengeance upon whatever has brought them here.[2]  ”

Liliana

Liliana's Deck

Werewolf Horrors

Werewolf Horrors' deck
Victory message
“  Outside of her manor, Liliana spies Emrakul drifting slowly towards the town of Thraben, madness swirling in the titan’s wake. Liliana resolutely raises an army of zombies to march with her. She will not allow this offense to go unpunished.[2]  ”

Third mission

The third match of the campaign has the player take the role of Eldrazi Horrors, with a Black manaGreen mana deck. The computer controls a Red manaWhite mana deck representing the planeswalkers Gideon Jura and Chandra Nalaar.

“  Emrakul drifts into Thraben, her passage through Innistrad leaving life warped and mutated in her wake. Thousands of warped cultists and mutated creatures follow her into the city, drawn like moths to flame. Between these transformed horrors and the titan stand the Gatewatch, who have arrived at Thraben’s entrance.[2]  ”

Eldrazi Horrors

Eldrazi Horrors' deck

Gideon and Chandra

Victory message
“  With a growing sense of horror, the Planeswalkers realize force alone is unable to match the hordes of transformed villagers. Jace’s ability to shield the minds of the others from the encroaching madness is starting to falter. Soon, the Gatewatch is overrun, and still they haven’t located Emrakul herself. All seems lost.[2]  ”

Fourth mission

The fourth match of the campaign has the player take control of Gideon and Liliana (White manaBlack mana) against a monowhite delirium deck featuring [[Angel]a]s and Humans.

“  Desperate for assistance, the Gatewatch attempts to contact Odric, the head of the town’s council. But the townspeople have devolved into a frenzied mob. Many have unexpectedly transformed into Eldrazi monsters. Odric tries to lead, but the lines between friend and foe have blurred. Amidst the chaos of battle, heal arrived bathed in violet light and leading an oncoming tide of undead—the necromancer Liliana Vess.[2]  ”

Gideon and Liliana

Thraben Mob

Victory message
“  The Eldrazi onslaught is fierce, and waves of ghouls fall to their attacks. But Liliana’s magic, bolstered by the power of the Chain Veil, raises yet more allies from the fallen. Gideon Jura finds himself fighting back-to-back with an unlikely, but needed, ally. The Eldrazi are driven back.[2]  ”

Final mission

The final match of the campaign is Jace and Liliana's Blue manaBlack mana deck against a Blue manaBlack manaGreen mana Emerge deck representing the Eldrazi Titan Emrakul.

“  Fighting their way outside the city, the Gatewatch finally reaches Emrakul. The Eldrazi titan looms over them, gibbering masses of Eldrazi horrors clustered beneath her. Liliana and Jace lead the necromancer’s undead army in a frontal assault, while the other Planeswalkers prepare their powerful spells.[2]  ”

Jace and Liliana

Emrakul

Victory message
“  As Avacyn stated long ago, “What cannot be destroyed will be bound.” Tamiyo and Nissa combine their powers, using Innistrad’s mystical moon to bind Emrakul herself. Nissa inscribes her glyph onto the lunar surface while Tamiyo’s potent binding magic pulls the titan into the imprinted moon.

With the binding of Emrakul, the remaining Eldrazi horrors scatter. Exhausted by the toll of the Chain Veil, Liliana finally allows herself to release her undead army to the slumber of death. She has seen the power wielded by the other Planeswalkers, perhaps a power strong enough to free her from the Chain Veil’s curse. She gives her oath to the Gatewatch, and now five Planeswalkers stand together to protect the Multiverse.[2]
