Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 had one expansion[2] which added five new decks to the game. These were themed around the Guilds from the then forthcoming Return to Ravnica expansion, however they didn't include any new cards from that set. Instead they used cards from the original Ravnica block and other older sets.
The expansion was followed by three downloadable deck packs[3], each with two new decks. Five of these were similarly themed around the guilds in Gatecrash, again without including any new cards. The sixth deck was five-colored.
Expansion
Azorius
A white and blue deck themed around the Azorius Senate.
| “ | On the city-world of Ravnica, the Azorius Senate creates magically binding laws to enforce peace. The “Aura Servants” deck uses Auras to improve the strength and ferocity of its creatures. Endlessly customize your forces with different magical enhancements![4] | ” |
Golgari
A black and green deck themed around the Golgari Swarm.
| “ | The city-world of Ravnica relies on the black and green aligned Golgari Swarm to oversee the messier aspects of life and death.

Izzet
A blue and red deck themed around the Izzet League.
| “ | On the city-world of Ravnica, magical research is the chief domain of the Izzet League, often with explosive results. The “Mindstorms” deck is one such result.

Rakdos
A black and red deck themed around the Cult of Rakdos.
| “ | On the city-world of Ravnica, the murderous members of the Cult of Rakdos take sadistic glee in devising new methods of torture. The “Grinning Malice” deck is all about causing your opponents pain: mount an assault on their creatures, their life totals, and ultimately their sanity![4] | ” |
Selesnya
A green and white deck themed around Selesnya Conclave.
