- lilbutaDedicated in Magic: The Gathering: TacticsDec 8 2012 at 8:58am via desktop app It's originally a Fantasy-based Trading Card Game from Wizards of the Coast. The strategy is deeper than the Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh games in comparison so it appeals a lot more to adult players. I recommend seeing if there's a local club and attending a session there for first time play if no pals play. Have fun when you do give it a go. :)

MasterGazelleDedicated in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 7 2012 at 8:10am How do you ensure that new cards don't unbalance the game? have you ever thought after a new card was released 'maybe that was a bit too strong/weak or cheap/expensive(casting cost)'?
- ConductorHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 17 2012 at 12:03am I'm not from WoTC, but I believe they'd answer: In the DOTP game, I think it could be handled via a patch (I'm curious of this myself since there are a couple 'infinite loop' scenarios). In the card game, they handle this via a Restricted/Banned list which can limit what formats the card in question can be limited to (sometimes banned altogether from specific formats). Though, it's rare that they have to do this (I think it's something like 1 out of 1000 cards or so).

SgtSnugElite in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 6 2012 at 11:48pm Have you ever considered a Draft Mode? where players like in a draft opening booster packs are assigned random cards and must construct a deck to play with. I do enjoy a good draft and would allow for some truly enjoyable multi-player.

Wyrmhero1993Dec 6 2012 at 12:10pm Given that multicolour decks are by far the norm for Magic nowadays, particularly in standard where you often see tricolour decks, will you be making decks with two+ colours standard in Duels 14, and will there be dual-lands (or even tri-lands) in it, since Wizards keep telling us it's the one thing you shouldn't compromise on?

RubicksHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 12:01am Much like the paper magic game the meta is constantly changing for DoTP. With each new deck comes new cards that must be dealt with. Sometimes we have those answers already built in the deck but many times we are left wanting extra unlocks. In the first DoTP you unlocked a few cards for each expansion. While most those cards weren't exactly built to deal with the meta will you in the future put out more "real expansions" as opposed to deck packs to create a more flourishing system?

QuantumSorrowDedicated in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 11:58pm As a player introduced to the MTG scene through DotP 2012, I was wondering if you guys ever thought about a implementing user generated sweepstakes that would make use of our feedback. I loved playing the blue control deck from DotP 2013 but not the blue deck so much in DotP 2013. So my question/suggestion would be the inclusion of sweepstakes/contests that allowed users & gamers to submit card lists/decks (strict format rules) to be voted on by gamers who play DoTP. I believe that by doing this, it not only generates interest but includes us, gamers, in helping further develop the game.

tactfulgamerDec 5 2012 at 10:49pm Ktroop, mccmall can you guys answer these? Thanks. 1) When will you add "All" the decks of each Planeswalker iteration since 09'? (Of course balanced to co-exist with the other newer decks) Many at your "Wizards" forum have asked for this and are willing to pay more. 2) Will we Get to adjust mana ratios in Duels 2014? 3) Will you allow us to have "separate" profiles for each of our decks. It gets tiring having to re-edit our decks every time we join FFA, 1v1, 2HG. Separate profiles for these game types are needed. 4) 2HG is laborious, people hop in & out of rooms looking for the friends in 2HG ranked, allow a travel together party mode to alleviate this. 5) will you fixing the tutoring when digging into an opponents library. Wouldn't it be easier if a window popped up, and showed the cards in categories, spells, creatures.. Etc. you just tap left bumper/right bumper to move between categories, press a button to enter. Once inside their library, cards are shown individually, with a badges number above them showing how many of that particular card they have available, as you pick off a card to exile, that badged number adjusts to the change, example, you exiled 3 of his 4 murder instants, now the badges number above drops down to 1.

h4mx0rElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 10:10pm Also, have you guys considered at any point to make an Magic The Gathering RPG game similar to the old Shandalar game by Microprose? I realize it's much more work, but think of the possibilities! The MTG universe is so much richer than it was when the old Shandalar game came out. You could explore Ravnica, Dominaria, Kamigawa or whatever and have a storyline for the player to actually follow or be involved in! As the current DotP games go, it feels like you guys are sort of aiming for the "planeswalking" experience when dueling different decks and planechase, but there is so much more potential here! It could even be a simple spinoff story branch featuring main characters from the franchise as well as the player! I think it'd help new players get deeply involved with the lore anyways, dontcha think?

Are there plans to have a definitive edition in a future DotP game or DLC that puts every game mode into a single game? I have friends who dive into DotP, but they've jumped in at different years, so they've only been able to experience either Archenemy or Planechase, and not both! Then on top of that I bet you guys are thinking about Commander for the next DotP! Also, please consider adding an acceleration button in the next DotP game for single player, because those bots sometimes take forever in the endgame, especially in 4 player games like Planechase! Other than that, keep up the good work! (and consider revamping the UI from the ground up!)

I would like to know if there are any plans for complete manual land taping? Also, I totally understand the concept behind DotP, and how it is supposed to be a easier way to get into MtG. However, there a ton of serious players that love DotP and would very interested in allowing more customization of their deck builds (i.e. lands, and even using cards from a central pool to add to their decks). Finally, there have been some significant bugs where players have lost their saved progress, is there a patch planned? Thanks for all you do. Josh Redden

EternalGrumpHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012Dec 5 2012 at 8:53pm I want to know if you will ever consider allowing real deck building in the game? Shadowclaimer has said several times that allowing it in DotP would cause it to conflict with Magic Online but I completely disagree. MO offers a much larger selection of cards to build with while DotP has a very limited set, only expanded by deck packs. The 2 do not conflict at all. I'm not asking to have access to the entire MtG card library and I don't expect that from a $10 game. What is your reason for not allowing us to build custom decks from the limited set that each version of DotP makes available? My experience with DotP has largely been a good one but when both myself and my friend who I play with, only have access to the same set of pre-made decks the game loses some of its longevity. We each always know immediately what the other has access to and there really aren't any surprises after using each deck more than a couple times. I am also curious if you have any plans add a draft mode to the game? It's always been a favorite of mine as I feel it adds a sense of fairness to the game. Money in the physical game, nor playtime in digital version have any effect on what each player has access to. You could even add an optional limiter feature to it, limiting the cards used in the draft to ones that both players have access to. Does this seem like something viable?

premiersoupirDec 5 2012 at 8:52pm Thanks for your excellent products! DotP 2009 was what started me playing Magic! I've been delighted to continue to support your excellent work over the years. I appreciate your continued refinement of deck strategies, including moving away from tribal-themed decks and highlighting other synergies, such as counter-burn, mill, equipment, and so on. Manual land-tapping is brilliant as well -- thanks! I wonder how much interaction you have with the Wizards development team as you develop parallel products (Duels and paper sets)? I know that you've moved away from previewing new cards and mechanics (like showing off the flashback mechanic in Lili's deck from Duels 12 before Innistrad was released). Is this for fear of people spoiling cards early? Nevertheless, I appreciate how D13 add-on decks have cleverly foreshadowed new mechanics without spoiling forthcoming cards. The GW token-based deck strategy is a great example, which, in retrospect, clearly forecasted the Selenya Populate mechanic in RTR. I wonder if you might speak to the thought process that goes into sculpting flavorful decks that show off the strengths of the color pie and its various combinations.
- ktroopElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 9:51pm With each Duels iteration, we seek to do a better job of integrating with our paper design/development teams, especially for the Core Set (M13, for example). We typically have 2-3 people cross-over, who are both on a Duels development team and the Core Set design or development team from that year. We do this to ensure not just a matching of philosophy, but also to make sure that we match up in execution as well. A typical Magic set is very much a living, evolving system, and many cards change, some of them completely, over the course of typical development. Having some of the same people on both teams maximizes the chances that the reasoning behind the changes on one side is explained to the other. It's been a lot of work to achieve that level of integration, but we see it paying off with the excitement of our players, not just in Duels, but as they cross over to other forms of Magic as well.

  - premiersoupirDec 5 2012 at 11:30pm Thanks for the thoughtful reply! You all are crafting an awesome game, and the integration that you describe between Wizards' various development teams certainly is paying dividends, from my perspective. Oh, and as a side note, some of my friends and I, who play both Duels and paper magic, have taken to speculating about Gatecrash guild mechanics based on hints that you provide in recent decks, such as the Boros and Simic ones. I look forward to tinkering with Gruul and the second Orzhov deck in the latest deck pack!

iced1138Dec 5 2012 at 8:15pm This very well may have been asked before, but- How difficult would it be to impliment something like booster draft into a later installment?

elektrotalHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 8:10pm One of the things about DotP is that each of the three games has had separate deck packs and expansions--Has there been any thought into bringing back the decks from the first two DotPs as packs for the third or later iterations? Perhaps as a greatest hits style thing?

elektrotalHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 8:08pm One of the greatest features of DotP is the existence of couch co-op play, through things like two headed giant and archenemy (which my wife adores). Is there any possibility of bringing back more cooperative play styles? Planechase was interesting, but lacked team play elements.

QuasimessedupElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:07pm Since DotP is now considered the entry point for turning people on to magic will there be more promo push coming in the future for launching of new sets or events, such as the codes that were given out at the last magic celebration day or the packs with the alt art cards available at the local card shops?
- ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:09pm Honestly, I really hope they do, but in the future I hope they push for more.. useful promo cards. I'd almost rather have promo Uncommons as long as they were good ones.

ConductorHardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 8:06pm DotP looks to be a big hit on iOS (over 4.5 starts and 17675 ratings). Are there any plans to bring DotP to the Android OS? If so, is there a tentative release date?

Purplehaze2112Dec 5 2012 at 8:06pm Why do you make Duels of the Planeswalkers with limited decks? What i mean is why only let people use certain decks, why not put in the current standard sets in and let the more experienced players make their own decks?
- ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:08pm Because then it would compete with Magic Online. DOTP was meant as an entry-level product, Standard is not entry-level, Kitchen Table Magic is.

    ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:15pm @Purplehaze2112 Stainless wouldn't go out of their way to "enhance" the console versions over the PC version that much (at least I doubt it), they'd have to almost rebuild the way the core systems work for that alone. Given that in this version we were given 40 cards per deck to swap out, I foresee the bigger alternative is that we'll be given more pools of cards to play with in the future, as opposed to full customization.

FfdumboElite in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012Dec 5 2012 at 8:05pm Love these games. Gets me my fix in between fnm. Loved the changes from the last game to the new one. Any clues on the next updates? What will be in the next game?
- seawolvenElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 1:08am The digital studio and the design team as well as Stainless are pretty much constantly working on Duels of the Planeswalkers. It is too early for us to talk about any future releases but I can say that there is some cool stuff in the works!

eshikiDedicated in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 8:03pm The biggest problem my friends and I have with DotP is the different difficulty levels. It seems to be that the highest difficulty changes the luck of the draw instead of the skill of the AI. I always seem to get horrible draw and the AI always has the perfect card to deal with any situation. Are there any plans to change this to something that more closely matches reality?
- ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:17pm One thing I've started noticing with the AI is that they seem to ignore "steps" in some actions. IE: on harder difficulties they're more conservative and won't "swing in" without a solid combat trick or an assurance they'll lose something, whereas on earlier ones they'll swing like morons into the most obvious traps. I'm pretty sure the game suffers from a really bad "cheating AI" however, because it kinda has to to create artificial difficulty.

- ktroopElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 9:55pm I understand the frustration. We don't change anything at the highest difficulty level to ensure that the AI always has the answer, or that you are always going to draw land, etc. etc. I've played a *lot* of single-player DotP, and it's really frustrating when you draw many lands in a row, and I'm not immune to thinking, "OMG, the computer is cheating!" Even when I unequivocally know it's not. :) All I can say is that, over a large number of random events, there will be a large number of sequences that feel very un-random. Probably not consolation for you, but at least I hope you remember the times that you had the perfect draw, or the perfect top-deck, or the time that the computer opponent seemed to just roll over to you.

  - eshikiDedicated in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 11:19pm Thanks for your reply. It's good to hear that the draw are actually random even if it doesn't seem like it sometimes. Side note: While it shows that I'm just "Dedicated" on here, I actually spend most of my time playing DotP on my iPad, which isn't tracked on Raptr, so I do have more experience than it appears. Also I play a lot of EDH in real life. :D

tikiman23Dec 5 2012 at 7:59pm my question is when can we build a custom deck and play the actual game/ online against other players... i wouldn't care what the format was even if it was standard alone even with you having some modern and legacy cards within the game as is i would love to see where i could play my own deck vs another person on the game across the worlds deck!!!

TotalHavokDedicated in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 7:59pm Have you guys discussed using DotP to advance the creative storyline more? I love the little bits that have been added into the game just through the planeswalker intros/bios when you face each one, but I'd love to see more of a cohesive story present through the campaign. I don't necessarily mean a full-fledged RPG-like experience (cool as that would be), but just one where you introduce some story between matches - who you're fighting, why, and what you're fighting for. It seems like a great opportunity to bring over some of the awesome creative work being done in building these worlds and also catch the interest of new players. Magic has (in my opinion) some of the most interesting and multi-faceted characters out there, and this seems like a perfect platform to make the story more approachable. Because as much as I read every blog post, web comic, and novel that's made available, the average casual player may not even realize those things are out there...and they're missing out! Thanks for doing this, and thanks for the awesome games! (Also, it's good to see most of my other questions have been asked - at least I know there are other people out there that want to play Commander and use Planeswalkers!)
- ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:11pm I agree with this, Creative has been looking for more worldbuilding opportunities. Honestly it'd be interesting if the DOTP for the year was based around the current Block, allowing us to explore the story of the block and its characters more indepth.

owyn999Hardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 7:51pm In terms of future DOTP releases has there been any discussion of making a core engine and just releasing the games as continuous expansions rather than a completely overhauled game each year. Or at least handing out discounts to loyal buyers that buy yearly?
- b1nary0megaElite in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012Dec 5 2012 at 8:25pm I really dig this idea and would most certainly be swayed towards buying deck upgrades, additional challenges, etc. rather than a whole new game.

  - owyn999Hardcore in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 8:29pm Yup I mean I understand that they want to make their money and don't want to step on MTGO but man to go back and play commander or Planechase or whatever multiplayer it just seems to make sense instead of having to leave one game and enter another, I could even understand only allowing certain decks in certain modes. At the least perhaps looking for previous versions and importing settings, and perhaps a deck or two

ahniwaDec 5 2012 at 7:50pm I played DotP2012 quite a bit for awhile, and consequently reached the top of the leaderboard for 2P duels. My question is: Are there any plans to either create competitive events within DotP that would influence a player's Planeswalker Points or to provide rewards for players who excel within the game? Thanks!

EvilBadmanExperienced in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012Dec 5 2012 at 7:45pm Are there any plans to reward purchasers of DOTP12/13 in upcoming releases?

snoopiedoogie1532Dec 5 2012 at 7:40pm Hey buds, I've been playing magic since 97, along with every member of my family. I really only have on question, and that is will there be a time where you can build a custom deck? I understand the issues at hand with such a decision, and that you can already get pretty close to a custom deck, but I've always enjoyed beating my brothers with self-made decks, and seeing as their in different states, it's near impossible.
- ShadowclaimerElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 8:10pm If DOTP had full deck customization it'd conflict with Magic Online, which Wizards of the Coast didn't want.

undercommonDec 5 2012 at 7:37pm Do you feel that DOTP has changed that way that new players are introduced to magic? and does this have any negative effect when it comes to encouraging real life tournaments?
- seawolvenElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 1:11am Before Duels of the Planeswalkers was released, the main way new players learned Magic was through their friends. Now we see that there are many new players that have learned Magic through Duels and many of them have joined into the Magic community just like their previous friends did. As far as tournaments go, a new player, whether taught by friends or through Duels will have a few new things to learn but we haven't seen any real differences between the 2 groups. We've even had players that have learned Magic through Duels on the Pro Tour as well.

Will it ever be feasible in future iterations to make card unlocks dependent not on the deck you're playing, but on the deck of your opponent? Capturing trophies, if you will, from defeated planeswalkers.

UjuidarEhcramElite in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the PlaneswalkersDec 5 2012 at 7:12pm I love playing Magic, and I enjoy playing DotP, but the thing that keeps me coming back to Magic is Limited. Would you consider adding some sort of Limited format to DotP in the future? Perhaps an older format or a new, DotP-specific Limited format if you don't want it to compete with Magic Online?
- ktroopElite in Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013Dec 5 2012 at 7:36pm It's a great idea, and definitely something we'd consider. Overall, we want to keep Duels fresh each time we release it, and one of the ways we clearly do that is by changing the "format" experience, e.g. Archenemy in D12, Planechase in D13, so different play formats is an important part of Duels currently.
