Although the game does tell us what to do for each unlock, it doesn't go very into depth. This guide serves to elaborate on the ways to unlock each achievement, title, and persona in game. It will describe the best decks to use for each goal, as well.

Statistics-Related Titles

The following titles are unlocked as your mana color changes. In order to change your mana color, you must cast colors of a certain spell. With each spell cast, you become closer to that spell's colors. If you want to get these titles quickly, I suggest going for them as soon as possible in the game.

If you play with one deck too long, you will end up having to play for at least that long in another color just to catch up! (We're not saying that extra Magic is bad, but it's a bit tedious if you don't want to play that certain deck!)

"Mage of Jade" is the easiest to get because the most decks have green in them. I suggest saving it for last. "Mage of Onyx" is easy to achieve using Deadwalkers because all the spells are very cheap, including Gravecrawler.

Conditional Win Achievements

Flawless VIctory
Win a game without losing any life. This achievement can be obtained very easily in one of the first few campaign battles, especially with decks that have larger creatures that come out early in the game, such as Mind Maze or Hunter's Strength.

Sparer of Pawns
Win a game without destroying or dealing lethal damage to a creature. This achievement is very easy to do with flying creatures against Moorland Zombies in Innistrad, unblockable creatures, or using Firewave.

Bloodless Triumph
Win a game while dealing no combat damage to a player. This can be achieved using some combination of Fire Servant, Furnace of Rath, and some burn spells in the Firewave deck. It can also be done by attacking with twenty Slivers with Thorncaster on the field.

Burn Monster, Burn!
Lose the "Angry Mob" encounter in Innistrad. Just don't do anything.


Back Against The Wall (Expansion Only)
Turn off smart-casting and burn yourself down to 1 with Firewave or Sliver Hive (using Thorncaster Sliver). Save an instant-speed damage spell to win during your opponent's combat phase. This is the same unlock condition as one of the unlockable profiles.

__________

Deck-Specific Achievements
Deck-Specific Achievements

The following achievements can be achieved with any deck, but are geared toward specific decks.

Counter Crazy
Control a permanent with ten or more counters on it. This can easily be achieved by using Chant of the Mul Daya and not sacrificing Khalni Heart Expedition until it reaches ten counters. It can also be done using Avacyn's Glory.

Land Lord
Control seventeen land of a single type. Do this with Chant of the Mul Daya. It's basically the point of the deck anyway.

Field Marshal
Have 40 permanents on the battlefield. This is very easy to do with Endless Ranks of the Dead in Deadwalkers. You will also get the Necromancer title if you do it this way.

Hivelord
Control seven or more Slivers with different names. Sliver Hive can achieve this easily against Skirsdag Cultists by saving a Path to Exile for the Shadowborn Demon. Make sure you have exactly one Sliver on the field before the Demon drops.

Deflectomancer
Counter 25 spells. Use Mind Maze for this one. It has the most counterspells. Do this one against Moorland Zombies because they can't really withstand anything bigger than a 2/2.

Beastmaster
(Expansion) Attack with a creature that is at least 10/10. This is most easily done with Chant of the Mul Daya or Sylvan Might. Ramp into an Eldrazi Conscription or use Timberwatch Ranger / Immaculate Magistrate to pump up your guys.

Equipped For Victory
(Expansion) Attach two Equipment permanents to one creature you control. This is fairly easy to do with Sword of the Samurai.

Spellblast
(Expansion) Deal 10 damage to an opponent using a single spell. Use Flamewave for this one; some combination of burn spells, Furnace of Rath, and Fire Servant should do the trick here. If not, just stall until you have 11 mana to cast a huge Disintegrate.
Deck-Specific Titles
Title
Description
Recommended Deck(s)
Herald of Angels
Have five Angels enter the battlefield under your control during a game. You can do this one with Avacyn's Glory or Mind Maze. Playing one of the earlier campaign duels, Avacyn's Glory can stall until five angels are drawn. Mind Maze can use Illusory Angel and four Phantasmal Images to achieve the same effect.

Make sure the Angels are actually entering the battlefield as you do this!
Avacyn's Glory

Mind Maze
Demonic Master
12/1/2013 -- Expansion ONLY. Lords of Darkness is a Demon deck.

Control five Demons. This achievement may be tricky because none of the decks in Magic 2014 actually have demons in them. The easiest way to do this is to either have Stolen Identity unlocked in Masks of the Dimir, or Roil Elemental and all four Phantasmal Images unlocked in Mind Maze. Play them against Skirsdag Cultists in Innistrad.

The goal is to steal or create copies of Shadowborn Demon to get the achievement. Using Mind Maze, you can also cast Claustrophobia on the Shadowborn Demon until you draw into the Roil Elemental and four Phantasmal Images.

WARNING -- (1) This does not work with Mirror Entity and Sliver Hive and (2) do NOT summon Chronozoa when doing this.

7/25/2013 -- With the new card unlocks, Masks of the Dimir has Shadowborn Demon in it now! You can do it now without playing against Skirsdag Cultists!
Lords of Darkness

Masks of the DImir

Mind Maze
Puppet Master
Control a creature an opponent owns. Use Masks of the Dimir or Mind Maze to achieve this. We're talking Mind Control, Domestication, or Roil Elemental here.
Masks of the DImir

Mind Maze
Phantom Mage
Win a game controlling only Illusions. Mind Maze is literally an Illusion deck. There are a few odd non-Illusions in the deck, as well as Lord of the Unreal--so be wary not to summon those. Otherwise, this should be easy enough to unlock.
Mind Maze
Lord of Leviathans
In a duel, control creatures with a combined power of 50. This can be achieved by ramping up with Chant of the Mul Daya or Enter the Dracomancer. In addition, Endless Ranks of the Dead in Deadwalkers, or Chronozoa in Mind Maze can easily achieve this as well.
Chant of the Mul Daya

Deadwalkers

Enter the Dracomancer

Mind Maze
The Annihilator
Cause an opponent to sacrifice five permanents in a single duel. Use Chant of the Mul Daya and some creatures with annihilator. This can also be done using Deadwalkers, with Grave Pact.
Chant of the Mul Daya

Deadwalkers
Necromancer
Control thirteen Zombies. Use Endless Ranks of the Dead in Deadwalkers.
Deadwalkers
Auramancer
Control a creature enchanted with three Auras you own. Use Guardians of Light and stall out against Moorland Zombies.
Guardians of Light
Spellslinger
In a duel, use spells to deal 20 damage to your opponent. Use Firewave.
Firewave
Sliver Hivelord
Win using Sliver Hive. Use any deck, other than Sliver Hive, to win a duel. As long as the deck isn't Sliver Hive, you should get this title. /sarcasm
Sliver Hive
The Impaler
(Expansion). Sacrifice a creature. This is fairly easy to do, as you will most likely have to sacrifice a creature during the campaign against Lords of Darkness or Chant of the Mul Daya. If not, Enter the Dracomancer's devour should suffice.

I'm not sure if having an Illusion blow up in Mind Maze would count toward this, but it's worth a try.
Enter the Dracomancer
Bestower of Boons
(Expansion). Have a creature get +10/+10. This is very easy to do with a variety of decks. Sylvan Might may be the easiest to achieve this with, with Timberwatch Ranger and friends. You should also get a couple other unlockables while doing this one, such as the Beastmaster achievement or Disciple of Marit Lage.
Sylvan Might
Disciple of Marit Lage
(Expansion). Control a creature that is at least 20/20. This is most easily achieved using Sylvan Might.
Sylvan Might
Lord of Legends
(Expansion). Control five legendary creatures. Try this with Sword of the Samurai. It's chock full of legendary creatures, like the Ryusei, Yosei, Fumiko, etc.
Sword of the Samurai
Personas
Default Personas

The first sixteen personas should be active already when starting the game.




__________

Unlockable Personas

The personas below require additional tasks in order to unlock.

Persona
Description
Recommended Deck(s)
Attack an opponent with a copy of a creature.
You can copy creatures using Masks of the Dimir or Mind Maze.
Masks of the DImir

Mind Maze
Counter a spell that's targeting a spell you control.
If you don't want to do this in a mirror match against Mind Maze or Dodge and Burn, just stall out until you draw two counterspells and any third spell. Counter your own spell, then counter that counterspell.
Mind Maze

Dodge and Burn
Deal 10 combat to a player with flying creatures in a single turn.
Enter the Dracomancer and Mind Maze are good candidates.
Enter the Dracomancer

Mind Maze
Cast five spells in a single turn.
Establish a board position against one of the earlier campaign nodes, then start stockpiling cheap spells. Good decks to do this include Avacyn's Glory, Chant of the Mul Daya, or Deadwalkers.
Avacyn's Glory

Chant of the Mul Daya

Deadwalkers
Have 20 or more lands on the battlefield.
Do this with Chant of the Mul Daya. You will get the Land Lord achievement as well.
Chant of the Mul Daya
Deal 10 damage that's not combat damage to a player in a turn.
Try this with Firewave. Fire Servant / Furnace of Rath into a Lava Axe works wonders. This is also good to do with the Bloodless Triumph achievement.
Firewave
Win during an opponent's combat phase.
Firewave, Sliver Hive, or Dodge and Burn have instant-speed damage spells that can be cast during an opponent's combat phase. They are also good at winning at 1 life.
Firewave

Sliver Hive

Dodge and Burn
Win a duel while at 1 life.
Turn off smart-casting and burn yourself down to 1 with Firewave or Sliver Hive (using Thorncaster Sliver). Save an instant-speed damage spell to win during your opponent's combat phase.
Firewave
Sliver Hive
Exile a creature.
Painstakingly easy with Avacyn's Glory (Fiend Hunter / Oblivion Ring), Firewave (Pillar of Flame / Disintegrate), or Sliver Hive (Path to Exile).
Avacyn's Glory
Firewave
Sliver Hive
Mulligan down to one card and then win the game.
This persona requires more luck than anything. Personally, I did this one by mulliganing down to one with Mind Maze (leaving an Island) and battling the Skirsdag Cultists. So long as you draw Claustrophobia and two more lands, you should be able to win. Sliver Hive can do this using Path to Exile as well.

I also hear that mulliganing down to one and fighting "Weather the Storm" works too, if you just wait to deck the opponent out. It might take a while, though.

edit -- Try doing this in a Two-Headed Giant match!
Sliver Hive
Gain 20 life during combat in a single duel.
A few decks can do this well, but Guardians of Light is the easiest to gain over 100 life with as well. Celestial Mantle is your friend.
Guardians of Light
Have a life total of 100 or higher.
Celestial Mantle.
Guardians of Light
Play an online match between midnight and 1:00 a.m. local console time.
You can probably reset your clock manually, but why would you?
Any
Viral Unlock.
Defeat a player in Multiplayer with the persona already unlocked. There is also an activation code for this one.
Any
Unlocks by Recommended Deck
This section and the next cover each deck in Magic 2014 and which unlocks they are best at doing. If you want to find the most efficient way to unlock everything in Magic 2014, you can skip to the sections on:
  • Guardians of Light
  • Mind Maze
  • Deadwalkers
  • Firewave
  • Chant of the Mul Daya
  • Sliver Hive.
Those decks can pretty much cover every unlock without the remaining ones.
__________

Avacyn's Glory

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Counter Crazy -- Control a permanent with ten or more counters on it.
Titles
Mage of Alabaster
Herald of Angels -- Have five Angels enter the battlefield under your control during a game.
Personas
Cast five spells in a single turn.
Exile a creature.

Avacyn's Glory isn't all that great for unlocking things in Magic 2014. However it does have Angels in it, and is the quickest way to level up your Mage of Alabaster (because Guardians of Light is a bit slower). Counter Crazy is fairly easy with cards like Champion of the Parish, Unruly Mob, and Mikaeus the Lunarch--but just look out for removal spells.
__________

Guardians of Light

Type
Unlock
Achievements
N/A
Titles
Mage of Alabaster
Auramancer -- Control a creature enchanted with three Auras you own.
Personas
Gain 20 life during combat in a single duel.
Have a life total of 100 or higher.

Guardians of Light is the best way to get the Auramancer title, seeing as how it is built around Auras themselves. It is also the best deck to get the two lifegain-related personas. Try to get to 100 in one duel and you'll get both the relevant personas. Celestial Mantle is your friend here.
__________

Mind Maze

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Flawless Victory -- Win a game without losing any life.
Deflectomancer -- Counter 25 spells.
Titles
Mage of Azure
Herald of Angels -- Have five Angels enter the battlefield under your control during a game.
Demonic Master -- Control five Demons.
Puppet Master -- Control a creature an opponent owns.
Lord of Leviathans -- In a duel, control creatures with a combined power of 50.
Personas
Attack an opponent with a copy of a creature.
Counter a spell that's targeting a spell you control.
Deal 10 combat to a player with flying creatures in a single turn.

Mind Maze is arguably the best deck in all of Magic 2014, in terms of power level as well as unlock utility. Since it has the most amount of counterspells in it, I'd recommend you aim for both the Deflectomancer achievement and the Counterspeller persona.

Also, due to Phantasmal Image, you do also get some other ways to get the Herald of Angels and Demonic Master achievements. If you do Demonic Master in this way against Skirsdag Cultist, you will need Roil Elemental too--which is a requirement for Puppet Master.

Lord of Leviathans is easily obtained using Chronozoa.
__________

Deadwalkers

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Field Marshal -- Have 40 permanents on the battlefield.
Titles
Mage of Onyx
Lord of Leviathans -- In a duel, control creatures with a combined power of 50.
The Annihilator -- Cause an opponent to sacrifice five permanents in a single duel.
Necromancer -- Control thirteen Zombies.
Personas
Cast five spells in a single turn.

Deadwalkers is Magic 2014's resident Zombie tribal deck. That being said, it is very easy to amass a large army simply by using Endless Ranks of the Dead and cards like Grave Titan. Field Marshal, Lord of Leviathans, and Necromancer are all targets when using this deck in this way.

Grave Pact and Fleshbag Marauder are also integral for The Annihilator, if you don't want to summon Eldrazi for some reason.

Deadwalkers is also the best deck for Mage of Onyx.
__________

Firewave

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Bloodless Triumph -- Win a game while dealing no combat damage to a player.
Sparer of Pawns -- Win a game without destroying or dealing lethal damage to a creature.
Back Against The Wall -- Win a duel while at 1 life.
Spellblast -- (Expansion) Deal 10 damage or more with a single spell.
Titles
Mage of Crimson
Spellslinger -- In a duel, use spells to deal 20 damage to your opponent.
Personas
Deal 10 damage that's not combat damage to a player in a turn.
Win during an opponent's combat phase.
Win a duel while at 1 life.
Exile a creature.

Firewave is the only mono-red deck in the game, though I think it is fairly annoying to play. The direct damage portion, however, does allow you to circumvent both destroying creatures and combat damage, netting you maybe four to six unlocks at once (Bloodless Triumph, Sparer of Pawns, Spellslinger, and some personas).

Pillar of Flame or Disintegrate are good for exiling a creature in case you haven't covered that with Avacyn's Glory yet.
Unlocks by Recommended Deck (part 2)
Chant of Mul Daya

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Counter Crazy -- Control a permanent with ten or more counters on it.
Land Lord -- Control seventeen land of a single type.
Beastmaster -- Attack with a creature that is at least 10/10.
Titles
Mage of Jade
Lord of Leviathans -- In a duel, control creatures with a combined power of 50.
The Annihilator -- Cause an opponent to sacrifice five permanents in a single duel.
Personas
Cast five spells in a single turn.
Have 20 or more lands on the battlefield.

Chant of the Mul Daya ramps--and it ramps hard. Ramp up to twenty and you get the Land Lord achievement as well as a new persona. If you leave a Khalni Heart Expedition out while doing this, you will also net Counter Crazy. Use all the excess mana you've generated to summon an Eldrazi or two for The Annihilator.
__________

Hunter's Strength

Type
Unlock
Achievements
None, really.
Titles
Mage of Jade
Personas
Not gonna lie, this deck isn't the best to play for unlocks.
__________

Masks of the Dimir

Type
Unlock
Achievements
None, really.
Titles
Mage of Azure
Mage of Onyx
Demonic Master -- Control five Demons.
Puppet Master -- Control a creature an opponent owns.
Personas
Attack an opponent with a copy of a creature.

Masks of the Dimir is generally fun to play, but inferior to Mind Maze in terms of unlocking material. It does have black spells, however, if you want to get up on Mage of Onyx.
__________

Enter the Dracomancer

Type
Unlock
Achievements
None, really.
Titles
Mage of Crimson
Mage of Jade
Mage of Onyx (this deck does a very poor job at it, though)
Lord of Leviathans -- In a duel, control creatures with a combined power of 50.
The Impaler -- Sacrifice a creature.
Personas
Deal 10 combat to a player with flying creatures in a single turn.

Enter the Dracomancer is alright for the colors, but doesn't unlock anything else Mind Maze doesn't either.
__________

Sliver Hive

Type
Unlock
Achievements
Hivelord -- Control seven or more Slivers with different names.
Back Against The Wall -- Win a duel while at 1 life.
Titles
Mage of Alabaster
Mage of Crimson
Mage of Jade
Sliver Hivelord -- Win using Sliver Hive.
Personas
Win during an opponent's combat phase.
Win a duel while at 1 life.
Mulligan down to one card and then win the game.

Sliver Hive offers two very specific unlocks: Hivelord and Sliver Hivelord. It also has some direct damage in the form of Shock and Thorncaster Sliver to win the game in a pinch.

If you are trying to mulligan to one and win, try this against Skirsdag Cultist with a Path to Exile in hand. Hopefully you will draw into a Plains and at least one creature bigger than 1/1.

Ok then, i'll try what you have suggested to me. i'll feedback later. Thanks for the answer ;)
Tactical Fleshlight  [author] 30 Sep, 2014 @ 8:12pm 
@Kitt3_78: That's odd, as I haven't seen any problems with that one. Make sure you have all the expansion decks and have at least one card unlocked for each one. If you have, then the achievement may have bugged for you.

It may be also that the game didn't unlock it at the right time, so try playing another match as well. (The game unlocks some achievements only at the win screen.)

Other than that, I'm not sure I have any other suggestions. :red:
Kitt3_78 28 Sep, 2014 @ 6:55pm 
"Explorer Mage" achievment is bugged.. :S i have won with all expansion decks and the achievmente stills locked.. Do you guys have a solution for that?? Btw, nice guide you have here, very useful ;)
