Magic The Gathering: Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2012

Magic The Gathering is a card game that geeks used to play at my University.

 

As I was forking my spare money out for a Comic Collection I really coudn't afford the added expense of buying Magic Cards.

 

That didn't stop it from being a really popular phenomenon that's still alive and well today.

 

Now you can play Magic without having to spend, spend and spend some more building your deck of cards thanks to this XBox LIVE Arcade title.

 

You're a Planeswalker... a wizard who walks the land looking for other wizards to duel.

 

You start with 7 random cards from your deck and battle it out.  You need land to fuel your creatures and spells as you attempt to whittle away, or pound your opponent until they are at 0 health.

 

Some people might swear "Pokemon"' is just for kids but there's a reason why the franchise is so huge.

 

There's a reason the "Magic" franchise has been so popular, even as a trading card game.  There's fun to be had here and at 800 MS points you'll struggle to find better value for your MS points on XBox LIVE Arcade.

 

Make sure you grab the 2012 version (as there is an older one which was great fun also) on the marketplace.

 

This version gives you multiplayer, coop and some Deck Management ability.

 

Well worth checking out.

Good job opening a perfectly good thread with such a pathetic generalization.

I got the first one on steam, and I'll probably do the same with this one.

Mtg was awesome though. I've still got my old 2nd edition set somewhere.

Sorry, should I have started it with "Magic The Gathering is a card game loved by Computer Science Majors, Rugby Players and Professional Wrestlers in equal measure"?

 

Don't be so narrow minded.

 

There's nothing wrong with being a "geek".

 

In fact... we're "re-claiming the word".

 

Now that we've gotten that out the way, it's very accessible as you are given a complete tutorial guide and have basic and advanced instructions to consult.

 

What makes it a little hard at the beginning (only if you've never played Magic before) is the fact that everything is brand new.

 

You have to play your way to a basic understanding and then past that, but it's a rewarding experience as it's well presented and pretty fun to play.

 

You start with 2 decks and as you progress through the campaign you unlock 8 more as well as special cards to boost your existing decks.

 

You have to keep a 60 card minimum in a deck but as your deck grows beyond 60 you are able to drop cards you don't want if you feel it enhances your deck.

 

Great fun alone or with mates, or many mates in either 1 vs 1, group battles or group coop battles.

 

Trial version on the marketplace.

 

Check it out.

I did think that it could be greatly improved by being able to buy your own decks etc......(cue money spinning idea for wizards of the coast.......in fact maybe that is their plan!!)

But you can swap the different decks around to make yours personalised cant you? didnt play much of online tbf
