Duels of the Planeswalker expansion hitting next week photo

That Duels of the Planeswalkers expansion -- which may or may not be called “Duel of the Dragons” -- has been dated, priced and detailed by Wizards of the Coast. According to official release, the expansion is slated to drop onto Xbox LIVE Marketplace on October 21st and will cost eager spell-slingers a meager 400 Microsoft Banana Dollars.

The expansion will add three playable decks, and three unlockable cards for each of the downloadable title’s original decks. It will also add a few more Two-Headed Giant levels and puzzling challenges.

And that’s on top of the fresh SP campaign which will feature the Planeswalker Nicol Bolas.

I’m a Magic: The Gathering kind of dude, so I’ll be all over this even though the console versions of Borderlands (I still haven’t received a copy from Gearbox; sad face) will be hitting the day previous. How many of you plan to rock this expansion?

I remember getting 200 free Magic cards from my rich friend in sixth grade because he wanted me to play so bad.

That's the only time I really played the game: in real life or in virtual form. Give me a Pokemon: The Trading Card Game remake or give me death! That franchise was Wizards of the Coast's real lifetime achievement!

What twesterms said.

Really. Let me take out some shit cards and edit the decks. Even if I can just add/take out anything within the decks. I am not talking full build-a-deck mode here. Do that, and I will love you long time.

That said, I will probably throw down the 400 for this.

I'll buy it, but, like the others said, let me take some of the original cards out of the deck! If you don't want to give me a full deck editor, fine. But, please, let me remove some cards!

I'll get it if they fix it so when you're playing ranked games people can't just rage-log out when they start losing so the other person doesn't get a win.

Also i want a kitchen table like the one above... with the skulls floating in a pool of blood.

Still playing every day. Got me back into the IRL cards too. Taught my wife how too. Will pick up the expansion for sure. And as a counterpoint, I am totally fine with the preset decks. Just don't have the time to spend customizing, when I can just pop in for a game here and there real easy like.
