The Duels of the Planeswalkers games do scratch that Magic: The Gathering itch just enough to keep me off the cardboard but, well, that makes its DLC as alluring as booster packs. Wizards of the Coast has announced a Magic 2014 expansion is coming on September 18 with new decks, campaign missions, and puzzles. Recovering addicts, it's okay if you buy it: this is better than hoarding 'board.
Making your own deck is one of the finest parts of playing Magic: The Gathering, but sadly we haven't been able to do this in the Duels of the Planeswalkers video games. This year's installment, Magic 2014, will finally introduce deck construction, in a way, with a sealed deck mode. You'll get to open virtual booster packs and make a deck out of the cards, then throw down against other wizards with sealed decks.
The wizards, warlords, Winter Orbs and Whippoorwhills of Magic: The Gathering are returning once again this year in a new downloadable Duels of the Planeswalkers game. This year's instalment, Magic 2014 - Duels of the Planeswalkers, is adding a new platform to its hand, coming to Android as well as PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
Magic: The Gathering's "Duels of the Planeswalkers" series has turned into an annualized game for the CCG, which developer Stainless Games attributes to Microsoft's policies and costs of updating.
To celebrate the launch of the virtual card game's DLC expansion, which brings new decks and the ability to play as the Archenemy, the base game's down to only $4.99 on Steam.
A sequel to the collectible card game's video game adaptation is headed to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this summer.
Wizards of the Coast today announced Magic: The Gathering - Tactics, an "online, 3D turn-based strategy game" based on its collectible card game, coming from Sony Online Entertainment Denver--developer of the EverQuest online CCG 'Legends of Norrath.'
