Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, also known as Duels 2013 is a digital Magic game that came out June 20, 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows and (for the first time) iPad.[1][2]
Description
Duels 2013 is the sequel to Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012.
Purchasers of the game received access to a coupon which could be redeemed for a 6-card sampler of Magic 2013 cards. Duels 2013 received a number of upgrades from previous iterations of the series.[3] It launched with manual mana tapping, a deeper stat tracking system, the inclusion of an end step, and a more balanced and cohesive roster of decks. The Duels of the Planeswalkers video games were now meant to be a gateway product for new players to be introduced to Magic. Thus, Duels 2013 and M13 were developed and designed with each other in mind.[4][5][6] Both used the same art, referencing the big bad of the sets: Nicol Bolas.
The Planechase format was featered as a multiplayer option.
Expansion
The Ravnica expansion for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 featured five two-color decks, five added single-player campaign levels and five single-player revenge campaign levels, five additional challenges, and additional persona portraits, achievements and trophies to unlock.[7]
