Key Features
-All-new and redesigned: Bigger and better in every way, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 takes last year's massive hit game and adds new graphics and music, new cards and decks, new challenges, and new multiplayer game modes!
-Gather your allies to face new Archenemies: In the new Archenemy format, you and two allies (players or AI) must work together to take down a powerful Archenemy and survive the extra powers from the Archenemy's special scheme deck
-New decks using some of the newest cards: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 features ten new decks using cards from the latest Magic:The Gathering expansions, including your first chance to play with cards from the Magic 2012 Core Set. Each deck also offers 16 additional cards that can be unlocked as well.
-Modify your deck for your own play style: We listened to what the community asked for, and in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 players can now modify their decks to play the way they want. Players can add or remove cards from both starting cards and earned unlocked cards for each deck. Want more spells or creatures in your deck? The choice is yours!
-Fifteen puzzling challenge levels: Puzzles are back and better than ever with difficulties ranging from easy to (really) hard including new Archenemy challenges.
Three- and Four-Player Enhanced Co-op Play: Co-op play is enhanced in Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012. --For the first time, players can invite their friends anywhere in the world to partner up with them to take on the Archenemy or play against live opponents in Two-Headed Giant competition.
It's pretty fun and we should play together and stuff. If people put their gamer names in the thread I'll put them on the lists.

We can talk about the old one too I guess if anybody else still plays it, I do occasionally.

This might be worth getting!

What spring does with the cherry trees.
Oh well that is less cool.
Wish it had been around when I was learning mtg!
The puzzles are pretty good at teaching concepts and strategies.
Anyway Duels is okay but it's really really frustrating that you have almost no power over your deck. You can't even swap the cards you win for the individual decks in and out for other cards--you can only ADD them. So your (frequently poorly) designed deck of 60 cards just gets larger and larger as you add the unlocked cards, becoming more and more poorly designed.
seriously you can't even control the amound of lands, it's really frustrating, as fun as it is to play a really gorgeous and well designed Magic client like this one
In Duels 2012 you can remove cards from the deck now, so its at least a little better.
I don't know about removing land though, as I just got the game myself and havent played it yet.
Of course I can see why they'd never do it, at least not without some complex micro-transaction scheme.
You can pull whatever you want.
And someone pointed out in a review that having confined decks like this makes programming a halfway competent AI possible, if you could have decks with whatever in them then the AI would be hopelessly broken. I mean there's MTG:O if you really want to put your own stuff together.
In fact, the main reason I ended up playing so much on MTG:O, for the two or three months I was back into Magic, was for limited play. The whole endless collection struggle to play Standard just wasn't attractive to me at all. Draft and Sealed really level the playing field.
even if i am terrible at it
I can just play
I'm an odd person.
The lack of customization was actually a plus for me, it meant that Wizard's wouldn't be tempting me with extra cards and if I was going to play online then everyone would be on even footing.
draft draft draft draft draft shit I kinda want to get back on modo and blow my magic wad
my first FNM after I bought some cards last year I was just playing random people, getting a feel for the game again, and this dude insisted I play his sliver deck
it was the stupidest
Yeah, the only tournaments I ever did were sealed or draft. Level playing field, and at worst you still walk out with some cards.
Had two standards of whatever that gave +1+1 for every like creature type.
I have the last three pre-con sliver decks WotC made. I don't have the very first one they put out and I'm not about to spend that kind of money for a single deck, but these other three are pretty sweet and I only use them to piss friends off something fierce. The only thing that can beat any of them consistently is this one archenemy deck my friend bought and that thing is monstrously unfair.

EDIT: My sliver deck is W/U/G. Ward sliver, shifting sliver, muscle slivers, quick slivers...
And then I have a seedborn muse and songborn muse.
Yeah, I have one of those banners too. It came with my Premium Deck Series sliver deck and it has saved my ass on many occasions.
edit: yeah, what Anzekay posted
MtG:O?
but its a pretty easy way to lose some dollars and get mad
thats why i do it, personally
I traded one guy a holographic rare card for one, and another was given for me to use in a tourney.
Well, it was given to me because I entered the tourney when I was 13 and I didn't understand the rules, namely the one that limited which cards you could use. So I entered using slivers from Urza's (muscle slivers, oen artifact sliver) and I wanted to take my money and leave when they told me I had to forfeit my first round. So the guy let me borrow his coat of arms, told me to keep playing, but to be sure to give it back to him at the end.
Well, I lost the next round to a kid I had been beating all day with my regular deck. I was angry and upset, so I called my mom and walked around outside while I waited for her to pick me up.
Completely forgot that I had that guy's card.
He got to keep my money though, so technically I bought it for five bucks.
But I want the "new card" smell.
Ugh. Duck used to use one of those against me when we used the cheap-as-free program for playing magic online.
The most annoying thing since elf-life-spam.
