Since when has Duels of the Planeswalkers on iOS? i can't find it, would somebody please link me to the app store page or something?
DoTP2013 is the first Duels game to be available on the iPad. It's not in the app store yet b/c the game doesn't release until June 20.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr: the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777

I'm disappointed that DotP still hasn't introduced a mode with full control by the player for making their deck how they want. Yugi has had it since their first VG in 2002. I'm not saying you can't be creative and put time and effort into these other (admittedly interesting) modes; but a massive element of MtG is the deckbuilding process which begins from the intuit of one's personal idea. When players try to transition from DotP to MtG, I just wonder if they ever walk in the store and ask, "so whose deck pools do you have for sale?"

1) if they give full customisation, it will hurt MTGO.
2) you can buy the DOTP decks (or at least, decks inspired by them), and you can buy ready made decks off the shelf (Event Decks for example). I wouldnt expect a new player to start from scratch (I didnt: I started with 3 copies of the free 9th ed Starter set, and then later with some Xth ed and Shadowmoor precons. After playing with the prebuilt decks I broke them up and mashed them back together again to make my own decks. It was months before I built a deck 100% from scratch)

Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?
Zis iz a sign uf deep psychological troma, buried in zer subconscious mind. By keelink himzelf, Kamahl iz physically expressink hiz feelinks uf self-disgust ova hiz desire for hiz muzzer. [/GermanPsychologistVoice]
That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

Continuing the trend of focusing on the advanced players, each deck has a larger pool of cards to unlock and thus more customization available. Part of the fun of Magic is optimizing your deck and Duels 2013 gives you more opportunity to do that.
Let me know when you can just make a 60 card deck and play it. I bought DotP once. I won't do so again unless that is the case. I don't want 'more opportunity to do that'. I want to DO THAT.
You can do that since the last version of the game, DotP 2012.
Blatant lies. You get to choose the nonland cards for each deck, but only out of a preset pool of 40 or so different cards with no ability to obtain more copies of cards that are singleton. There's no way to even use cards you've unlocked in other decks. So you can't put a copy of Sword of War and Peace  in Nissa's deck, for instance, even if you've unlocked it for Gideon's deck.
Hey friend, calm down and read his post again. He was asking for unlocking cards for the decks but keep them with 60 cards. In DotP you can't do it, but in DotP 2012 you can. If you want to play a game with any card, go play MTGO. Full deck customization will never happen in the DotP franchise because this would put the game on MTGO territory, but DotP only costs $10.
WotC doesn't care about flavor. Their forum is the only place where an ORC can kill a troll...

No. I was asking for full customization, 100% build-your-own-deck. Not 60 and I can swap 20 in or out with those 20 limited to a carefully selected few. I want to draw the cards I selected for the deck. I don't want to go into a game hoping I don't draw the crap selected for me because I'm at the customization limit.
He was on the right path. You can't build your own deck.

I'm afraid to say that, but WotC won't give you this for $10. MTGO is your best option.

MtGO is nothing like a yugi VG, and neither is DotP.

The art for Krenko's Command  is in the background of Krenko, Mob Boss  . I think that is pretty cute!

For those who might not have done the math, the four planes featured in Magic 2013 are Ravnica and Innistrad as MaRo mentionned (the two planes of 2012-2013 Standard, nothing surprising here), Dominaria (still the core plane of the magic multiverse, even though it hasn't been visited much lately) and Alara (for a couple reasons : it is the home of the returning mechanic of the year, Exalted, and the last appearance of Nicol Bolas who is the greatest "face" of the set. I would have thought that it would also help set up multicolor cards for the set, but it doesn't seem there are that many, if any, besides Bolas himself).
