- Companion is a keyword for cards that have a special ability only if the player’s deck follows a specific restriction.
- The Companion Ability Hint reads: “This card’s Companion ability is active if: <Restriction>.”
- Example for a restriction: “Your starting deck contains 4 or more creatures with one or more of the following subtypes: Beast, Cat, Dinosaur, Elemental, or Nightmare.”
-
-
- The Mutate ability hint reads: “When you cast this card from your hand, if you control a non-Token non-Mutated creature, you may choose it to enter the battlefield as a Mutation. If entered as a Mutation, reinforce target non-Token non-Mutated creature you control. That creature gains this card’s Mutation effect.”
- This new mechanic brings two icons: Mutate, which is present in cards that have Mutate; and Mutation, that is given to creatures affected by Mutate.
-
New Abilities Category: Basic Evergreen
- In order to simplify the interactions of cards that grant evergreen abilities from a given list, IKO brings a new ability category, named as Basic Evergreen abilities, to group the ones that were introduced in ORI and are present in every set since then.This way, instead of listing each of the available abilities in a card’s text, it will simply bring the keyword Basic Evergreen ability, which hint contains the list of all pertinent abilities.
- The Basic Evergreen abilities in Magic: PQ are: Flying, Berserker, First Strike, Double Strike, Deathtouch, Defender, Hexproof, Lifelink, Menace, Reach, Trample and Vigilance.

Changes
- VIP Booster Packs Changes
-
-
- Once received, VIP Packs will only provide cards of that set. VIP packs acquired during a current set will only contain cards from that given set. For example: if you receive a VIP pack while Theros Beyond Death is the newest set in Standard, that pack will only (and always) contain cards from THB. That pack content will not be updated with cards from the next set when this is released. Instead, each set will have its own VIP packs.
-
-
- Standard Packs will have the cards defined once given, and won’t update when new collections are released. Standard packs will only contain cards from the Standard configuration of when they were received. For example: if you receive a Standard pack while GRN, RNA, WAR, M20, ELD, and THB are the only sets in Standard, that pack will keep having cards only from those sets, even after the release of other collections, such as the upcoming Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths (IKO) collection.
-
-
- Cards from the newest set will become available for crafting only after the release of the next set. In the upcoming 4.2 release (Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths (IKO)) the cards from the collection Theros: Beyond Death (THB) will become craftable right away.
- The IKO collection will then become available only when the new set after IKO will be released.
- All Standard Sets will have the same price (except ORI).
- Booster Crafting price for Standard Mythic cards: 5,000 (Origins: 3,000)
-

- Adapt
- Aftermath

-
- Cycling Mechanic Ability Hint and Tutorial (AKH) text has been updated and rephrased to better reflect the current implementation:
- Tutorial Text has changed from: “To Cycle a card with this ability, drag it to the trash while it is in your hand while the total mana of the cards in your hand is equal or higher than the number listed next to the Cycle keyword.” to “You can Cycle a card by dragging it from your hand to the exile, if you have a total amount of mana in the cards in your hand that is equal or greater than that card’s Cycling value, which is the number next to the Cycling keyword.”
-
- The Cycling Ability Hint has changed from: “To Cycle a card, drag it to the trash while it is in your hand and you have at least X mana accumulated in your cards, where X is the amount listed in the keyword.”to “Whenever you exile a card with Cycling from your hand, if you have a total amount of mana in the cards in your hand that is equal or greater than that card’s Cycling value, you drain that amount of mana and draw a card.”

When your first creature blocks or becomes blocked: Exile the opposing attacking or blocking creature. At the beginning of your opponent’s turn: Disable the first creature card in your opponent’s hand until end of turn.” to “While on the board: Your first creature gets +6/+6.

When this support is exiled or destroyed: Enable all opposing creatures.”
- Rare Spell Card Camaraderie (WAR) has changed from “You draw X cards and gain X times 3 life, where x is the number of creatures and creature reinforcements you control up to 6.
