Magic: the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 is said to be making its way to the iPad this summer! There's a few reports out in the open but here's a read straight from TA: http://toucharcade.com/2012/04/11/magic-the-gathering-duels-of-the-planeswalkers-2013-is-coming-to-ipad-this-summer/
It gives you pre-built decks, holds your hand if you aren't familiar with the rules Interesting only for a new comers. I wasn't impressed by this game at PC and don't think at iPad will be better. Ai was a really stupid. Interesting to play only against player, but cards was so limited...
Well I'm down with it, whatever form it is.aybe not that price tag though lol. I didn't think the pc/Xbox version was as bad as made out. I got some good enjoyment out of it. I know there's no deck building or it's very minor tweaks but it's a start. At least this game is coming to ios. It's basically only the biggest TCG out so at least it's finally coming across in some form. Some things I'd wish for: Please bring it to iPhone as well Yep, deck building please, and an auction house. Unleash the real potential.
AI is not that stupid and I enjoy DOTP 2012 quite a bit. I've been playing M:tG at various times for almost 20 years. It's an excellent way to get a Magic fix when no one else is around. Ummm, the PC version is $9.99 so what makes you thing it will be $19.99? At the moment you can get the Gold bundle on Steam with the base game, the expansion and 3 deck packs for $19.99.
I've been meaning to get into Magic for years, I tried the original Duels of the Planeswalkers for 360 and liked it but I found that playing it on a console seemed restrictive and didn't buy it. I can't wait for this to be released, I think the iPad is going to a perfect form factor for it. In relation to it being designed primarily for noobs, didn't DOP 2012 introduce the ability to customise your deck or something? And while we're here, my totally inconceivable wish, release an iPhone companion app that allows 2 people to play with the iPad as the game board, finally put that functionality to good use.
Do you mean physical MTG? Its cheaper to buy singles almost all the time. On the note related to the game, I got into Magic by playing DOTP 2012 on 360, and I still fire it up if I miss Friday Night Magic. This will be so convienent to play and I'm going to love it!
I'm having a pretty hard time trying to imagine this as Async. Consider all the instants and counters that could happen in a single turn.
If multiplayer is a go, I'm so in. I love MtG when the playing field is relatively even (i.e. not about who drops more money on dem Baneslayers). Drafting was my favorite part of the game when I bought physical cards. :3
If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have checked my Magic cards in the darkest, deepest recess of my wardrobe (all mint). I have: x1 5th ed. 60 card box set x5 5th ed. booster packs x1 Mirage 60 card box set x5 Mirage booster packs x2 Visions booster packs x2 Weatherlight booster packs x1 Tempest 'Deep Freeze' Preconstructed box set (my mother bought me 14 odd years ago) x1 Tempest booster pack (snap!) I discovered that I possess a couple of cards that combined means I would just about break even on money spent on cards: x1 Lion's Eye Diamond x1 City of Brass I have a couple of other cards that sell for £1.95, and quite a few for the £0.30 mark, but nothing compared to the 2 above. With the proceeds for selling the above physical cards, I could easily use some of the proceeds to construct a couple of pauper decks - if I did choose to play online. I do not think I actually ever played a game properly with any of my cards. So I would definitely be interested in MtG on the iPad. That said, I've checked out MtG Online and it definitely appeals - especially the idea of 'Pauper' tournaments / causal play using common card rule-set. Up and running by spending a couple of £s or more (or currency of your choice) for casual play. I'll see if a friend would be interested - strictly casual play / pauper tournaments. Although with a friend, we could introduce our own rule-sets i.e. I prefer to play with cards no later than Mirage block.
Super excited for this. Played for years, starting just before 4th Edition, but eventually gave up because all of my gaming buddies went out of town for university, and my money was then all going to school. Picked up Planeswalker 2012 on Steam last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgia, new mechanics, and not having to spend a ton of money on cards!
Well looks like Pocketgamer are giving the release date as July 13th for all platforms so I don't know what to think http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/Magic+The+Gathering%3A+Duels+of+the+Planeswalkers+2013/news.asp?c=41718
