The XBLA title jumps off the screen and in to your hands
At first glance the printed versions of Magic: The Gathering’s Duels of the Planeswalkers decks look like a cheap cash-in on the recently broken gamers stumbling in to the game for the first time. Bloated with basic lands, cheap rares and vanilla cards it’s hard to understand why anyone other than an absolute neophyte would find any of the 5 decks worthwhile. However, in their simplicity there’s a relaxed sort of play that carves away most of the meta game without sacrificing what makes Magic: The Gathering fun.

The XBLA hit comes to the PC for all your clicking pleasure
Magic Online has existed for 8 years now and has provided players of the collectible card game a near-perfect virtual version of their favourite game. It’s ironic then that Duels of the Planeswalkers, an XBLA title that sacrifices substance for style surpassed Magic Online as the most popular online card game. Now Wizards of the Coast is bringing an updated version of the XBLA hit to the PC via Steam download, complete with the entire first expansion pack but faces the challenge of offering a simpler experience to those who already have an online option.

Add some new cards to your arsenal
Being a collectible card game Magic the Gathering is all about getting new cards to add to your arsenal. Duels of the Planeswalkers would not be a complete MTG experience without the ability to grow your collection. Enter the second downloadable expansion, bringing new decks and challenges to the game.

From the space between planes, the Eldrazi consume worlds
Magic: The Gathering has been host to many invading swarms. However, in Rise of the Eldrazi an extra planar force is brewing and it’s so powerful it makes the Phyrexian invasion seem like a little bad weather. Rise of the Eldrazi is host to 4 all-new mechanics that add some really cool new cards and a new creature type that can’t be bound to any single colour.
Rise of the Eldrazi brings some big things to Magic: The Gathering
This weekend Wizards of the Coast will be releasing their latest Magic: The Gathering set, Rise of the Eldrazi in comic and gaming stores across North America. With launch events kicking off across at least 3 stores in Toronto (Dueling Grounds, 401 Convenience and Hairy Tarantula) there’s a lot to be excited about if you’re a fan of the CCG.
