I know I'm probably being really stupid, but why can't I find this game on the iOS store? Searching for Magic the Gathering or Duels of the Planeswalkers turns up nothing except the unofficial assistant apps.

It is just called Magic 2012, which is kind of weird.

I loves the previous 2 on PC and it's great to have it on iPad.

Search: Magic 2013. You won't see it on the iPhone app store only the iPad. I'm assuming your looking for it on the phone.

I'll probably use my free unlock key to unlock the Mill deck. Really don't enjoy playing that way.

Oh there's a free key to get all the cards? I actually don't mind spamming plays to unlock cards but that would be nice since it's annoying to do so much.

Whats this about a free unlock key?

 

[Hero]

You get a free key unlock if you have the previous DotP game on the hard drive or something, I think.

Just downloaded my copy on PS3. Vampire Nocturnus like a boss!

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

Here is the code I got for buying the game. I believe you need to go to wizards.com to enter it. KPGGJNGJ

 

[Dynamic3]

What card uses the art for the loading screen that's a crashed ship? Looks awesome.

 

[Ken]

So how is the iPad version?

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay, I'm still having the problem in the Steam version where my main menu constantly scrolls left. I tried disconnecting my mouse and disconnecting my keybaord and navigating in those states and it persisted, so its not an input issue probably. Anyone experience anything similar?

 

[jiggles]

Primordial Hydra is fuckin' re-dic.

I almost wanted to test to see how high the engine could cope, but I figure it's likely capped at 65535 or something.

So many OP as fuck Magic cards, that mana cost should be way higher.

 

[The Technomancer]

I don't know how things are balanced in DotP but in the paper game its not that good because there are so many cheap ways to remove it in every color (except green)

it's capped at 9999 actually

I was so sad when I hit that limit lol

 

[WanderingWind]

Yeah, as Technomancer said, that card isn't even really played in the real game. It's actually pretty dang weak.

 

[jiggles]

What would be the best strategy if, say, someone played it, and immediately put Lightning Greaves on it?

 

[Sinatar]

Nah that card is easy peasy to deal with. I've tried rocking them in real magic and they just have a giant ass bullseye on them the second they hit the field.

 

[WanderingWind]

Well, unless you have a board wipe, then you're pretty much screwed. Day of Judgement or Black Sun's Zenith are two popular examples of such cards.

 

[Emerson]

I got a free unlock key for owning 2012 on 360.

 

[The Technomancer]

There are still ways around it (artifact removal and then creature removal) but yeah, that's a good way to make it a threat.

 

[Card Boy]

Nah that card is easy peasy to deal with.

Maybe but you have to remember dealing with it 'easy' is down to pure luck of the draw.

 

[Tamanon]

Man, I LOOOOOVE using the Millstone deck, lol.

 

[matt360]

This game is pretty awesome. I bought it on the iPad and I've never played any of the digital magic games. I used to be a huge addict back in the day, once when the game came out all the way up to fallen empires, and then again during all the urza stuff. I can totally feel that itch again. Hopefully this game is enough to scratch it because I really don't have the time to get back into the paper game.

Same here. Playing this really makes me miss all the old artwork and even the smell of the cards. I traded all of them in years and years ago in exchange for a ton of Spider-Man comics. I also hope the iOS version is enough to scratch my itch, as I really can't afford to get back into the physical card game.

But on that note, does anyone know a website where you can view all of the old cards by series in a streamlined manner? I checked out the WotC site and I thought it was kind of a mess.

Did you try Gatherer?

To check out an old set just go to Filter Card Set on the right and pick the set you want

Nevermind, I totally forgot about the third line of text on the hydra.

 

[The Technomancer]

Well yes and no. I mean, every move in the game can be reduced like that, even playing it in the first place also comes down to luck of the draw.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I can't believe how many sets there are now!

 

[The Technomancer]

Yup, four a year. They really churn em out, and yet I'd say general design quality has been going up for the last decade or so.

 

[Sinatar]

That's where deck design comes into play. Keep your deck at 60 cards with plenty of removal.

 

[TheSeks]

Wait, what? I didn't get an unlock key for owning 2012 on PS3 with 2013 on PS3. :/

 

[ultron87]

I really want the green bouncey creature deck to be good. But it doesn't feel like it is there with some of the other decks from what I've played with it so far.

Bright spot: Thragtusk is value town like woah.

Ha, cheers, that was it. Amusingly enough, I thought about searching just magic but thought for sure that would give way too many results to be useful. Thanks guys!

 

[SaberVulcan]

I have 2012 on Steam and I didn't get anything :\

 

[Calidor]

I love trolling on multiplayer with Jace's discarding deck.

Too bad that is not really effective, but it's so much fun winning without dealing a single hit

 

[Alucrid]

I hate how if I have an Emerald Medallion out then play an Indrik Stomphowler I have to sacrifice the medallion due to its ability. :|

Yeah, I thought you could cancel like most abilities but nope. :/

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Did you play 2012? First time I played Karn his opening move was Sapphire Mox -> Sapphire Mox -> Tinker -> Darksteel Colossus

I have. I think he did that to me too. I just restart. No way to win at that point.

Would anyone use Krenko in a goblin legacy deck? Or the mana cost isn't worth it?

 

[kage]

Just to confirm: there is no way to sync my progress and whatever I unlocked on Steam to the iPad version?

 

[Crocodile]

My PSN is ProfCrocodile. Anybody who has the PS3 version of the game, come fight me!

 

[Tizoc]

Does the Red Medallion affect Creature spells? Like if a creature has a 1+1R ability, if the Red M. is on the field, will that ability be 1R only?

 

[zulux21]

awwww life is capped at 9999 lol

 

[The Xtortionist]

Does the Red Medallion affect Creature spells? Like if a creature has a 1+1R ability, if the Red M. is on the field, will that ability be 1R only?

No, since cast-able cards (cards with a mana cost) are only considered spells when in your hand. On the battlefield they are considered to be permanents.

I hope that isn't worded poorly.

 

[Tizoc]

No, since cast-able cards (non lands) are only considered spells when in your hand.

I see thanks for cleraing it up, well I'll try the red deck again only this time I won't use the Red Medallion and see if it'll crash on me again. If it does, I'll just continue playing with the other decks (I don't like Red =P)

 

[Acidote]

I haven't managed yet to beat the hydra encounter with the first green deck. It was a piece of cake with Jace's Deck, but can't do shit with Garruk's Deck. I wanted to beat them all with it :-/

I don't know how you're gonna keep killing it, unless you have one of your biggest creature out and use prey upon it.

Yup, the Stomphowler's ability doesn't say "you may"

 

[Augemitbutter]

so what do you guys think about balance in this years version. any bugs?

looking to get the PS3 ver.

 

[nicoga3000]

Bizarre bug (that wasn't as much a bug as it was a WTF) that I hit last night.

I had 3R and Ruby Medallion was in play. I cast Searing Spear and took out a creature on my opponent and I went to play Pyre Charger with the intent of activating it's ability. For some reason, it cost 2R to put him in, even though Ruby Medallion was in play. Every other creature I cast during that game came in for 1R less, but for some reason, Pyre Charger didn't.

Not sure if I can reproduce it or not, but I'm definitely going to try to.

Question about the game - in paper Magic, I could activate the +1/+0 on Pyre Charger just before swinging (after blockers are declared), right? Can I do that here? I've tried to figure out how to, but I'm unable to do it.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Please don't tell me Stainless is still unable to build a game that follows the rules.

So how is the iPad version?

I had the previous DoTP on 360 and the iPad version is identical to that. I'm getting the hang of the UI/Interface on the iPad and like it (it could have been done better but no real complaints).

I just hope the multiplayer community stays strong on the iPad, it was non existant on the 360. Definitely a great platform for the game.
