Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers summons third DLC pack on Steam

by David Hinkle on Nov 4th 2010 4:00AM

While the console versions of Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers are stuck waiting on that third DLC pack, PC users can now boost their virtual card collection through a Steam update today. The third content pack will set budding planeswalkers back $4.99, for which they get two new decks, a plethora of new cards to unlock, new challenges to conquer and, of course, a new single-player campaign to tackle. If you've checked out either of the previous two DLC packs, then you know this is pretty much par for the course.

There's still no timetable for when the DLC will be available on consoles, though we've contacted both Wizards of the Coast and Stainless Games for comment. In the meanwhile, feel free to tap our gallery below for some magical screens.

I'm addicted to this game. please hurry releasing this expansion on XBLA/PSN...

3 new decks and 3 new unlock-able cards for the old decks. I'm in.

If only you guys could introduce a way to customize decks. I know you're tired of hearing this, but you deserve it!

I'm against DLC in general, but those DotP Expansion packs are such a good deal. If every DLC has as much content to offer, we would life in a better gaming world!

Now please excuse me - I'm milling Sorin Markov :D

@derdaim Sorin's deck will definately be one of the better new ones I would imagine.
To be honest, since I recently 300ed on the acievements I havent played nearly as much as I used to. I am such a whore. A dirty, dirty whore.

Still waiting on the PSN release of the actual game, or maybe if it goes on sale on steam again...

@o noes
I don't believe there is going to be a PSN version, but they are getting their own game.

@DoctorMark

Nah, they said it's supposed to be coming "really soon before the end of the year".

I have no idea how to play Magic but I'm still gonna be all over DLC3.

Now we just need a DLC/patch that enables us to customize our decks so they aren't 56% mana.

Or... you know... a better deck customization feature... with more cards...

@Apsac D I want to love this game so hard, but playing with an 80 card deck infuriates me. I can't make myself play it.

@Glad Take out unnecassary unlockable cards. There is no reason you have to play with every single card you have won. Most of the decks I use are around 70 cards. Still too many for a regular game but doable in this formst.

@Jack Kevorkian The cards you have won are often the most powerful cards in the deck, or the ones that afford you the greatest speed. Those are the cards I want to use.....I want to drop the other, crappier cards, not the unlocked ones.

I have been playing this game on xbox since it came out. I didn't get it on steam sale because I had so many unlocks on xbox. This makes me sad that there is no date on my version, its been awhile. Also it looks like there will be Rise of Eldrazi cards in it, which was one of my favorite expansions in years.

Really excited about this. I play it on the xbox (wasn't out on pc at the time), so I'm also waiting for the DLC to drop.

It's interesting to see developers sticking it to Microsoft and their long cert. process lately. Borderlands and this are great examples of Microsoft slowing DLC down to the point where it now launches everywhere else first.
