Use the following trick to unlock cards and build up decks that you may not use quickly. Select Single Player Campaign mode, and choose "Custom Duel". Select a desired Planeswalker to battle, then enter the "Advanced" menu. Set your "Life" to "40" and "Starting Hand Size" to "9". Set the CPU's "Life" to "20" and "Starting Hand Size" to "5". The matches will now be very easy to win. Use the following tactics: 1. Garruk: Play both Angelic Blessing cards on the Skyhunter Skirmisher, then attack with it. 2. Elspeth: Play Threaten on Soul Warden to take it. Put Raging Goblin on the Table. Attack with all. 3. Garruk: Attack with all three Grizzly Bears, then wait for opponent to declare blockers. Cast all three Giant Growths on a Grizzly Bear that is not being blocked by the 7/10 Wall of Wood. Then, use Elvish Piper's ability to play Roughshod Mentor. 4. Chandra: Cast Megrim from hand. Cast Ravenous Rats from hand. Attack with all your creatures. 5. Liliana: Cast Elvish Eulogist from hand. This creates one Elf Token (because of Lys Alana Huntsmaster). Cast Eyeblight's Ending targeting Nightmare. This creates one Elf Token. Cast Elvish Warrior. This creates one Elf Token. Use Immaculate Magistrate's ability on Elven Riders making it 13/13. Attack with Elven Riders, which is now unblockable; no flyers (Nightmare) or walls. 6. Chandra: Use Prodigal Pyromancer's ability to deal one damage to Chandra. Cast Boomerang targeting Persuasion. Note: Persuasion is attached (enchanting) Prodigal Pyromancer. Cast Persuasion targeting Raging Goblin. Attack with Raging Goblin (Haste, Mountainwalk, 2/2) and Phantom Warrior. 7. Nissa: Cast Terror on Elvish Champion. Attack with everything. Use Flameblast Dragon's ability on your Sprouting Thrinax. Let x = 3. Your Thrinax will die, and you get three new Saproling Tokens, consequently pumping up your attacking Saproling tokens to 6/6 each. Nessa blocks one of your Goblins and is defeated. 8. Liliana: Cast each Incinerate targeting Platinum Angel. Cast Rip-Clan Crasher from hand. Cast Sangrite Surge targeting Knight of the Skyward Eye. Note: If you try to cast Sangrite Surge before casting Rip-Clan Crasher, you might not get a mountain to use Brion's ability during the Attack phase as the CPU taps your lands randomly. Activate the ability of Knight of the Skyward Eye. Attack with everything except Brion Stoutarm. Liliana will try to kill your Knight with her Royal Assassin. Respond by using Brion's ability, choose the Knight, and toss the Knight (8/8) at Liliana. Since Liliana can only block one of your other two attacking creatures (1/1 and 2/2), she will sustain at least 1 damage for a total of at least 9 damage. However, for some reason she blocks the 1/1 so you will deal 10 damage instead. Successfully complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding Avatar Award: Magic card deck: Unlock all cards for six decks. Planeswalker t-shirt: Unlock all cards for three decks. Easy "Devastator" and "Life Preserver" achievements. Select the "Hands Of Flame" deck once you have unlocked the "Dragon's Claw" card, and play the first opponent in Campaign mode, Chandra Nalaar. Once the game begins, you will have seven cards in your hand. Restart the battle until "Dragon's Claw" is in your hand. Play it immediately, and wait out Chandra Nalaar's attacks. Defeat her monsters with spells and however else you can defeat them without reducing her life points to 0. Eventually with her red deck and your red deck, you should get the "Life Preserver" achievement in a matter of a few rounds. Once you have enough monsters to total 20 or more damage to Chandra Nalaar's life points, attack. This implies that all of her monsters she summoned earlier have already been defeated. Note: The Mage difficulty is recommended. Accomplish the indicated achievement to get the corresponding number of Gamerscore points: The Spark (20 points): Win a game. Life Preserver (10 points): Increase your life total to 30 or more in single player, or 60 or more in Two-Headed Giant. Magic: The Puzzling (10 points): Complete a challenge. Devastator (10 points): Deal 20 combat damage to a player in a single turn in a game. Defender of Foriys (20 points): Win a Two-Headed Giant game.

Aether Revolt, the sixth major expansion in Magic Duels on Xbox One, is all about adding powerful cards, cool new strategies, and a lot of refinements to Xbox One multiplayer. The world of Kaladesh that we introduced in the last Magic Duels expansion is a world of bold optimism. Invention and ingenuity are held in the highest regard. But as they often do in a game about conflict, things have taken a dark turn. The ruling Consulate has restricted aether access, confiscated inventions, and locked up inventors. This doesn’t sit well with the people of Kaladesh, so a revolt is on. And now, it’s time to take the power back in Aether Revolt . When developing this expansion, we wanted to put the player at the heart of the resistance. Often in stories with conflicting factions, players are offered a choice and must decide where their allegiances lie. With this set, the major mechanics closely align with the revolting renegades. The ruling Consulate still shows up on several cards, including some impressive new Vehicles players will be excited about, but our focus is on the revolt. That leads us to the first of our new card abilities, aptly called revolt, which appears on cards that care about other cards leaving the battlefield. This represents the people of Kaladesh fighting back when so many of their possessions — and in some cases, family — are disappearing. Each revolt ability is different. Sometimes your opponent will blow up your stuff, and that’s good news for your Revolt cards. Or sometimes you can find a way to get your own cards off the battlefield and take advantage of this ability. Another new ability waiting for players is improvise. Invention on Kaladesh is no longer a leisurely, scholarly pursuit. Now you’re cobbling together the tools of war, and the improvise ability can help. When casting a spell with improvise, players can use cards with type artifact to help pay for the spell’s cost. This lets you deploy some pretty awesome cards way earlier than your opponent may be expecting. Players can also look forward to the return of some popular mechanics from Kaladesh : amazing Vehicles, brave Pilots, crafty Servos, and more Planeswalkers. In all, 126 new cards await you in Aether Revolt . We can’t wait to see what you come up with. For the latest news on Magic Duels , be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Magic Duels.

Aside from being the biggest, most important card game of the past 20 years, Magic: The Gathering has become a nexus point for different types of players. Some people get a kick out of building clever, efficient decks using powerful cards. Others love the thrill of outsmarting their opponents. And the countless variations that sprung from the original game speak to even more people, such as formats that force you to build decks from a limited pool of cards. A game like Duels of the Planeswalkers, which exists to speak to the greater game-playing community outside of Magic, should reflect this diversity in play. But even though Magic 2015 makes some significant additions that people have been asking for since the first Duels was released, its feature-light foundation and odd limitations keep it from being the joyous celebration of Magic's virtues that it should have been. Of course, Duels was always meant to be a limited experience to some extent. It's the video game version of the most popular physical card game in existence, a simulation that allows interested parties to avoid the massive money pit Magic is associated with creating. The built-in Campaign mode also means you never need to worry about finding someone to play with, because the AI is more than capable of piloting the wide variety of enemy decks the developers programmed into the game. The game exists as a convenience, leveraging the power of the medium of video games to give us a way of playing Magic on our own terms, even connecting players across the world thanks to online play. The game interface point of view makes it look like you're playing at a real table. Ultimately, however, the primary function of Duels of the Planeswalkers is to be a big, fat advertisement for the physical game aimed at the video game enthusiast crowd. You need only look at the menu for proof, as an entire section is dedicated to promoting Friday Night Magic, the centerpiece of Wizard of the Coast's organized play for tabletop game stores, even going so far as including a store locator. As such, Duels condenses 20 years of Magic into a complete, standalone package designed to entice people to check out the paper game. A carefully-curated selection of cards ensures players aren't overwhelmed by choices, and premade decks eases them into the game without needing to worry about deck building until they're used to playing. As always, Duels of the Planeswalkers provides neophytes with a nice little cross section of the game proper without taking anything away its core. In this light, 2015 represents a holding pattern. You still get a Campaign mode in which you face AI opponents using your pick of premade decks, you still win cards that can enhance your base deck, and the interface is still as friendly as it ever was, breaking down the many phases that make up each turn into easy-to-understand segments. The timer still makes thinking out turns awkward; you must rush to stop the countdown before you map out your next, a necessary conceit to make sure people don't stall out in multiplayer that feels unnecessary in Campaign mode. 2015 takes you on a tour of six worlds in the Magic universe. One previously glaring omission that 2015 remedies is in the deck-building options. Until now, you couldn't meddle much with the decks you're given: the cards you won could only be swapped in and out of the deck it was paired with. Switching between decks wasn't allowed, and though this kept with the innate simplicity of the Duels series, it deprived players of one of the cornerstones of the Magic experience. 2015 allows you to put whatever cards you want into your deck; you may even tear the whole thing apart and start from scratch if you wish. Instead of winning individual cards, you win boosters from each Campaign game which let you further customize your deck and build a virtual collection of Magic cards. As a result, newer players can gain better understanding of the game beyond what was allowed before, encouraging experimentation and on-the-fly deck testing, an aspect that should have been possible in the series in the first place. This new, necessary feature comes with an odd limitation: You're only allowed one premade deck before you're sent on your way and left to your own devices. This doesn't sound so bad at first; after all, that's how it works in real life. You get enough cards to build your own deck, and then you add to it as you get more cards. But giving players access to a multitude of premade decks in previous games showed off the true breadth of potential play styles, and, more importantly, what's possible in Magic. Limiting players to a single deck restricts them to one type of play style no matter what. It's difficult to change gears if something doesn't work for you because most of your cards are in the two colors you started with. Changing to a new color is out of the question until you build your collection further, which you can't do until you win more matches. It's a catch-22 that is only compounded by the way in which certain decks are weak against others, and since you now can't swap out decks, you will often find yourself bottlenecked. The primary function of Duels of the Planeswalkers is to be a big, fat advertisement for the physical game aimed at the video game enthusiast crowd. Beyond its new deck-building options, 2015 is characterized by a complete lack of modes beyond the single-player Campaign and multiplayer matches. Previous versions of the game included extra modes like puzzle matches, Archenemy, and Sealed Deck, each of which tested Magic skills in different ways. What you have with Magic 2015 is a stripped down version of what came before, which is a shame. The multitude of different ways that people enjoy Magic beyond the base game isn't represented in the slightest. Instead, the biggest "feature" in 2015 is a new in-game store that lets you buy premium packs made up of cards that you can't earn within the game. Perhaps the game was meant to be more like Hearthstone or Magic online, games in which you're able to pay to add to your collection, but in reality, 2015 needlessly nickels and dimes, making it far less than a complete experience. And yet even with all these problems, Magic: The Gathering is still the fun, challenging game it's always been. Learning the complex interactions between cards is a joy, and the game is extraordinarily replayable. 2015 also features newer cards from the Theros block and the Magic 2015 core set, so fans of previous installments can play around with cards and mechanics they've never tried before, which is enticing for existing Duels fans. People who want more Campaign mode and straight-up online multiplayer of the core game may be satisfied, if annoyed by the unnecessary deck limitations. Nevertheless, they are still better served going to their local store and checking out the physical game. Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015 gives players what they've wanted for a long time by implementing deckbuilding, but it doesn't excuse the bare-bones package and needless extra monetization. The game within the template is still as fantastic as ever, and once you get into the groove, you'll enjoy stomping your enemies with your tuned deck. It's just a shame that 2015 never aspires to be anything more than a shell and delivery service.

Magic the gathering xbox one

by Sean Engemann. For the past few years Dungeons & Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast has enlisted the services of video game developer Stainless Games to craft a digital version of their widely popular and pioneering collectible card game (or CCG for short) Magic: The Gathering . Each year we have seen an improvement in the interface, playable modes, and fluidity of control. With Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015 , the series has taken one giant step forward with its deck building feature, but also several steps back in gameplay and technical aspects, as well as dumping a hefty tab on gamers looking to unlock all the content. As always, you take the role of a Planeswalker–a magical being able to conjure mighty creatures, powerful sorcery spells, and potent artifacts, in an attempt to strike down your opponents. As a player, these tools of course come in the form of playing cards. With five colors to choose from--Black, White, Red, Green, and Blue--you can form fierce combinations of spells, played by using land cards which provides mana to cast these spells. Magic 2015 supplies the perfect tutorial for fledgling players interested in getting their feet wet with the card game but intimidated with the prospect of attending a Friday night game session at their local store or playing against friends with years of experience under their belt. You start by jumping through a brief campaign used primarily to showcase the different card types, and can also access more detailed guides in the help section, filled with combat pointers and deck building strategies. The game even features a store locator for when you're ready to take your real deck against real people. The final match in the tutorial demands you choose a pair of colors for your starting deck. Should the choice prove ineffective at subduing the final boss, you can select a different hybrid. However, upon victory it becomes your starting deck, which you must carry through the first campaign in the black plane of Innistrad and some time afterwards until you've unwrapped enough booster packs to create your first plausible custom deck from scratch. Once able though, you'll find that the deck building process is the smoothest in the series thus far. A sleek set of filters allows you to separate your cards by type, rarity, cost, and color. You can then scan through your trimmed selection and quickly swipe choice cards down into your newly formed deck. A properties bar lets you see the distribution of color, cost, and card types in your deck, and also provides a gauge of the deck's speed, strength, control, and synergy. You can even select a few prized cards and let the computer auto-complete the deck, although I've found I've still had to change out a few mundane cards and adjust the quantity of land cards, so don't hit the auto-complete and blindly head off to your next match. The best part about the deck building process is how quickly you can put together a formidable library and get into the action, which itself sadly is not as brisk. Having played both the Steam and iPad version, it is very easy to deduce that the interface in Magic 2015 favors the tablet. Scrolling menu screens are designed for finger swipes, as is flicking cards into play during a match and double-tapping cards to glean more detailed information. The mouse, on the other hand, feels like an archaic tool that is cumbersome at navigating the board and menus. The matches themselves (due to the rules of the game) require some patience. Since players can counter at any point with Instant spells, the game must allow a timer in between each phase. Though brief, games still can drag on, especially when playing four-player matches with dozens of creatures littering the board and all the attack and blocking decisions to be made. Thankfully the game allows you to cut the battle animations, saving you from watching each attack, a lesson I learned after being pummeled into submission during my first multiplayer match against a horde of sixty spiders thanks to my opponent stacking their deck with four Spider Spawning cards.

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015 released on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Android devices this week after a week of iOS exclusivity. It's the fifth Magic game from developer Stainless Games and, in a year where Hearthstone has blown up, arguably the one Duels of the Planeswalkers release with the biggest chance at reaching a new audience. According to some fans, though, Magic 2015 is actually a considerable step back from previous entries in the series. In a Reddit thread full of complaints, user "AwSunnyDeeFYeah" leads the charge, pointing to a sluggish interface, slower gameplay and a more frustrating approach to unlock new cards and decks that can make it difficult to win with your preferred style. User "NeoFalcon2" points to microtransactions as an issue. While Magic 2015 only costs $9.99 initially, several $4.99 card packs are required if you want to expand your collection. Though many cards can be unlocked in-game, the cards in these paid packs cannot. "A selection of cards is locked behind ‘premium booster' packs that cost $2 each," NeoFalcon2 explains. "In order to get all of the cards (as you don't get duplicates beyond a certain # of each card) you have to buy 14 packs. So $10 plus $2 x 14packs = $38. So it's about $40 if you want access to all the cards in the base game." A few Reddit posters have popped up defending the game, claiming that many of the problems can be fixed in its menu system and praising its huge selection of cards available compared to previous Duels of the Planeswalkers releases. "unlike the previous games, you WILL NOT have fun right off the bat." Meanwhile, Magic 2015 's Steam page is flooded with almost exclusively negative user reviews. The most recurring complaint seems to be that the game requires a lot of extensive, slow grinding to unlock cards unless you're willing to pay. "To clear any [misunderstanding], I'm not saying the game is bad per-se," says Steam user Zanameth in a popular "thumbs down" review. "HOWEVER, and unlike the previous Magic DotP games, you WILL NOT have fun right off the bat." Just to be sure this wasn't a handful of angry anonymous people on the internet, I spoke to some of the biggest Magic: The Gathering fans I know to get their feedback on the problems with Magic 2015 . Magic enthusiast Shivam Bhatt has been playing the card game since 1994 — just a year after it originally launched. He says he's invested thousands of dollars into the hobby. And he agrees with the many commenters on Reddit and Steam calling out Magic 2015 as a mess. Bhatt says the initial idea for Duels of the Planeswalkers was "more of a puzzle game." "It took away the complexity of deck building," he says. Earlier Duels of the Planeswalkers releases gave players set decks to choose between, but they could not create their own decks from scratch. "This was awesome to teach people how to play, because it took a lot of the math and complexity out and let them figure out the game from a basic level." The problem, Bhatt says, started when veteran Magic: The Gathering players began flocking to Duels of Planeswalkers despite its status as a beginners tool. Magic publisher Wizards of the Coast has always wanted the hardcore fans to focus on Magic: The Gathering Online , a digital client that offers the complete Magic experience, including virtually every card ever made in the game's two-decade-plus history. So why did the hardcore eschew Magic Online for the much simpler Duels of the Planeswalkers releases? "Duels of the Planeswalkers' production value is way, way higher," Bhatt says. With the influx of long-time players hungry for a nicer-looking digital version of the game they love but one that maintained a certain level of complexity, Wizards of the Coast began receiving a flood of requests to allows players to build their own decks. That's one of the key additions to the 2015 edition of Duels of the Planeswalkers and also, it seems, one of the key sources of its problems. Bhatt explains that Magic 2015 provides a number of prebuilt decks to start with, but you can only choose one. Once chosen you're stuck with that deck, and if you find yourself unable to win matches, you have no means of unlocking new cards without buying booster packs. "I'm now in situations where my deck cannot win," Bhatt says, "because I don't have the cards to beat a certain enemy. Before I'd have just swapped decks. Now I'm stuck with this one." Brian Kibler is a two-time Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour champion who runs a blog that has been highly critical of Magic: The Gathering Online . He's also the co-founder of StoneBlade Entertainment, the developer known for the creation of card game Ascension and its own digital-focused card game, Solforge . Kibler says he had not yet played Magic 2015 but has respect for previous Duels of the Planesewalkers entries. "It's actually the main way my girlfriend initially learned to play Magic a few years ago," he says. As someone working on a digital card game that also implements microtransactions, Kibler recognizes the difficult balance Stainless Games and Wizards of the Coast need to strike with Magic 2015 . "It's especially tricky with Magic ," he says, "because they have to be careful they aren't cannibalizing either their paper product or Magic Online if they offer an experience that is comparable but much cheaper." "I'm now in situations where my deck cannot win" Kibler cautions against pointing to the existence of a "grind" as the main problem for Magic 2015 . "Sometimes when people describe things as ‘grindy' they just mean ‘takes a long time,' but I think as long as the experience you actually have while ‘grinding' is fun, that's okay. Like I used to play a lot of League of Legends , and getting more of their currency never really felt ‘grindy' because I got it from doing things I wanted to do anyway. "It sounds like the problem might be that they're locking into a narrow game experience by only allowing you to use one deck," Kibler says. And though he's hesitant to comment on problems from a game he hasn't yet experienced himself, he's not shocked that they exist: "I can't say I'm terribly surprised by any of it, given the history of problems with Magic Online ." Kibler and Bhatt echo each other on one issue that seems to be the driving force for a lot of disappointment amongst Magic: The Gathering fans: They love the core card game and wants its digital iterations to succeed. "I think Duels has been great for Magic already," Kibler says. "It's certainly played a part in the Magic boom of recent years, and it would be unfortunate if they faltered just as collectible games are being thrust into the spotlight thanks to Hearthstone blowing up. I love Magic — I've been playing it for over 20 years, and it's responsible for some of the most amazing opportunities I've experienced in my life — and I really hope they're able to take advantage of this opportunity." Though he wants the same thing, Bhatt seems less hopeful: "I don't think these are issues that can be patched away. Certainly technical flaws can be fixed, and maybe expansion packs will add missing multiplayer modes back in, but the fundamental model of pay-to-play is basically baked in. It really becomes a pay-to-win game, since a deck built with premium boosters will kick the crap out of a deck built of basics." To Bhatt, this is especially painful because he says the core, paper Magic: The Gathering game is at an all-time high. "The cards are the best they've ever been, and the game is selling the best it ever has in its 22 year history," he says. "Their digital offerings are just complete failures." We've reached out to Wizards of the Coast and Stainless Games for comment on the reaction and will update with their response. Polygon will have further coverage of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015 in the coming weeks.
