Magic: The Gathering Unleashes Cards On XBLA
A favorite past time of many is the collecting of Magic: The Gathering cards to unleash on a poor, unsuspecting soul at our local hangout. For those that didn't spend all of their lunch money on Magic cards, it is a game of fantasy using playing cards. By collecting "Mana" or land cards each turn, you will be able to spend that mana to unleash creatures and spells to devastate your opponent. Of course, it's more complex than that, but that is the gist of it.
On June 17th you'll be able to unleash monsters in Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800
. Since Wizards of the Coast, the creators of Magic: The Gathering, hasn't given us much information, this is what we have to go on:
"Duels of the Planeswalkers features eight unique player decks, deck customization with unlocked content, single player and cooperative campaigns, ranked and unranked online single player and cooperative play, leader boards, and more!"
Of course, since we caught the "Co-op campaign" mention in this game, we'll just have to give you the whole story in review form after we play it!

Its one of the simpler CCGs, with very clear basic rules that are not very complicated.
As I said, the games rules are extremely simple and easy to pick up on. The trickiest thing is seeing how different cards come into play, such as how they alter the rules and whatnot. Im sure they will have some kind of tutorial included also, so that they can bring in people who never played the game before.
Even decks would be a must, and if I am not mistaken it sounds alot like the magic tournament rules where everyone is given a starter deck and you just go from there.
I would assume that the co-op system works similar to a 2 vs. 2 battle. Which if it's like real life will have multiple options.

Normally, I'd be in favor of creating my own deck, but in digital form, I don't want to have to spend money for digital cards to be put into a deck - and find that everyone online is playing what everyone considers to be the best decks. You're either stuck with shitty decks, or going up against people blowing money on the game to beat you because they have disposable income.
At $10, this is actually pretty enticing! If it goes on sale at Amazon's store, I'll definitely buy it.
