DotP 2013 in T-Minus 1 Hour!

[BinoAl]

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 unlocks in 1 hour! Anyone else pre-ordered it, and is now anxiously awaiting? :)

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU. I assumed it was a midnight release. It unlocks at 2pm tomorrow ;~;

*cries*

Lol :)

In any case, happy cardflopping when it does come around though ;)

Does it have any sort of enhanced deckconstruction in regards to the other versions?
Does it have Commander?

[BinoAl]

It has more unlockable cards per deck, but the same customization as the last game. Unfortunately, no commander, just planechase

Never liked DotP tbh.

I love building decks, and this game railroads you too much for my liking. Where are the days of the old Shandalar mtg game :]

Haha yeah, deckbuilding is definitely my favorite aspect of magic, and I really wish dotp would focus more on it. Still a fun little game :)

When i need a mtg injection i tend to download mtg Forge (currently 1.2.8), it doesn't have all the cards but it does have rules enforcement & a form of AI.
It's free as well.

FWIW :)

So... I was pretty disappointed with the game. The encounters are necessary to beat in this one, unlike it's equivalent in the last game. The decks are so far from diverse that it's depressing (2 mono blue decks, 2 mono green decks, 2 mono red decks...), and even planechase, which I looked forward to, has a lot of flaws. I got my promo card (Serra Avatar from M13), so at least that made up for some of it

EDIT: Almost forgot another important point: I know this game is supposed to be a sort of "Gateway Game", to get people into either MTGO or to buy physical cards, but they really made it feel like I paid 10$ to be advertised to. There were actually a few times where it showed the M13 starter decks saying they were coming soon, "with all you need to play". Ugh.
