PAX 2009: Duel the Dragon DLC coming to Duels of the Planeswalkers

by Kevin Kelly { 15 hours ago }

We've just returned from the Wizards of the Coast Magic: The Gathering party (where we were in the company of *NAME DROP ALERT* Wil Wheaton / Wesley Crusher / übergeek), and we've returned from the fray with tapped mana and ... information. WotC announced new DLC and a title update coming (finally) to the XBLA version of Duels of the Planeswalkers.

Duel the Dragon, the first expansion to the popular Magic: The Gathering for the Xbox 360 set, features three new decks, six more ladder levels, new challenges including "multi-turns" that require more than one turn to win, and a final boss that is strongly hinted at in the title. They didn't announce a date for the DLC except for "soon." Even sooner than that, however, will be a full title update, which includes numerous bug fixes (no more freezes!), a forfeit option, and more.

WotC execs foolishly chose yours truly to be the first to demo the new expansion, and through extreme amounts of audience help, which consisted of shouts of NOOOOO! and YEEEEEAHHHHH!, my black & blue deck triumphed over Sarkhan Vol. We'll have assets for the DLC soon, which thankfully won't include our blurry partycam shot above. Sadly the new DLC does not include deck customization, but keep hope alive.

Sounds interesting but unless they allow me to fix the damn 2.5 second timer and allow me to build my own deck (not just throw cards I win into the base deck) I'm never touching the game again.

It's a shame because it had the potential to be *really* good but they just had to fuck up those two things so badly that it isn't worth playing.

Me and my friends complain about the same things when it comes to deck bulding...It is still fun but too predictable(Which is why I've have not played it in weeks)..Since the game sold so well I hope in near future they will add full deck edit feature....

Heresy!  Why would anyone want a deck of something other than 6-7 mana wurms?
