That's really good thanks posting that! If the expansion had the simic deck as well then it would've been perfect. Well and some RTR cards :p

Hi Sean,
This is great. I must say that I am impressed just how improved communication with the customers is since you have started; it is really appreciated.
Just wandered if you could go into a little more detail about what the UI updates were for the PS3 version? Were any changes made to the UI regarding the issues Plasma TV owners were having?
Also, the expansion has released fine in EU but we seem to be missing the deck unlock keys again; any idea when the expansion deck unlocks will appear on the EU PSN?

So, Duels 2013 comes out. Tap your own mana, they said. 2 colour decks coming soon, they said. ...then why is it the option is only given to you when activating abilties (equip costs, regeneration etc.) and never when casting spells? Y'know, the thing you do with lands 90% of the time. This happened with the Exalted deck before the DLC came out, and I was hoping it would be addressed with the DLC release. Example, literally just now: Had 3 Islands, 3 Plains out, and cast a Grand Arbiter Augustin IV  . I have a Talon Trooper  and Academy Researchers  in hand. This would be the perfect time to ask me how I want my lands tapped, as I have a clear choice to make here. But it doesn't, went ahead and left me with 2 untapped Islands, despite having no Auras to use the Researchers ability with. But if I activate Lyzolda, the Blood Witch  's ability, with 2 Swamps and a Mountain untapped, Typhoid Rats  in hand, it'll ask me which lands I want to tap. wut?
