The Xbox LIVE Arcade version of the popular Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers just got its first expansion. After all, what fun is a collectable card game if you can’t add some new decks? Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers Expansion Pack 1 is available now for 400 Microsoft Points.
Duel Magic’s iconic dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas with new downloadable content featuring:
You can also put your spellcasting skills to the test to defeat the new single-player campaign and unlock Sarkhan Vol and Jace Beleren’s new Planeswalker decks.
Thanks to this game I am hooked on MTG again! Not that I'm complaining or anything lol. Loving the new content, keep it coming guys. Gotta go now, got some stuff to unlock.
I just wish I could buy card packs and create my own decks. This online rendition takes away all the creativity.
Yeah JT, I would love to play with my own decks.....but we are going to have to wait for that.......
Yeah, I had a a great time getting back into Magic for several hours during the Game with Fame promotion. Keep it up.
I actually bought the game sooner rather than later and the expansion because it looked like a fun event, and the online play turned out to be better than I was expecting.
This is a really sweet game I love it. Hope it keeps expanding!
I used to play MTG since Beta edition came out. This game brings me back some old memories. Like some people said, I would love to be able to make my own deck, but this is a nice start. Thanks and keep the upgrades coming!
Thank you! I have been waiting seems like forever!!
i would play this game more than mw2 if your were able to create your own deck n there was a store to purchase decks and packs
I think you could like type in the cerial number of a card and you could have that card in the game so you can have your personal deck that is 100% unique.
Yeah! for fun for this game! we'll be waiting for JT's comment and everyone will love creating their own deck.
You know I played your magic the gathering Planeswalkers with expansion and loved it because it had the newer cards and a great AI but I still think it could even be better. if I play magic the gathering on a system like the 360 or a computer it's because I cant find players. but if I come up with a deck I want to build myself I might want to build it first in the computer test it out, then if it works build again in reality! now that would be fun to take even cards I dont have yet, that I found out about in a fat pack. and put them together with others then play the game system with that deck and if it works build it in life!!!
Three things to fix.
1. The choice to make your own deck needs to be included. That's a given.
2. Why can we only unlock cards by playing through the single player campaign? I think we should be able to unlock by going through custom duels, co-op campaign, co-op custom duels and online. 1 card for winning a match. Simple.
3. There needs to be a limit to how many times a person can stop the timer in one turn. Also, a timer should be added so that people can't just watch damage effects forever. Why all this? I can't tell you the number of times a person has simply done one of the aforementioned acts, and caused me to leave. Very un-sportsmans-like. Well, this isn't sports but still.
Overall though, I enjoy this game (too much, not that I'm complaining) and shall continue to watch for more expansion packs on Live, or possibly a full fledged sequel.
Love MtG on 360!
One wish I have is the ability to customize the background music. How about having additional soundtracks available in the Marketplace like the tables and backgrounds? Better yet, how about the ability to customize the music by streaming last.FM (or other music sources available on the Xbox360) into the game?
Here's the problem with a completely customizable deck....you would make the game completely hostile to newbs. Think about it. If we could go online and 100% edit the deck any way we wanted, the experienced players would strip the decks down to their deadliest minimum card limit and wipe the floor with newbs. Thus driving away new potential addicts. I already have errantly killed whatever joy my friends had with this game by deboning them everytime we play. They accept that they are new to the game, but hate the idea that they only win if I get "mana hosed".
As it stands we are forced to keep some cards which are only useful on occasion. Thus giving newbs a turn or 6 to put up a fight. The only way to allow completely cutomizabile decks would be to have to seperate game lobbies. One with limited customization pre-constucted decks (what we have now) and one with unlimited customization.
I personally like how they release cards now and never want to see an online card shop or random booster packs. That is what drove me away from MTG in the first place (playing too many people who spent every spare dimw purchasing the rarest/deadliest cards to use before thier use was restricted or limited). The main thing I'd like to see is the ability to choose which lands to "Tap". I'm tired of not being able to "fake" an incenerate when using a multi-colored deck (ie: keep my one red mana untapped even though I have now red cards in hand).
Great game, keep the DLC coming.
Need to customize decks, however I agree it needs to be limited. Can stay as is, just add a limited amount of space for customized cards. 3 to 5 cards per deck, that a player could choose from other decks or a custom card shop.
Love the ideas from the others.
Choose music
Choose diferent boards
option of which land to tap.
I have a couple other ideas.
Coop campain with a friend outside my house
coop duels with friends all at home
Use my avatar character as the picture
Random coop aponents with diferent decks not known prior to match.
Again great game, loved it, keep it coming I'm hooked.
