MDP2014

The fourth entry in the series, Magic 2014 – Duels of the Planeswalkers is available today on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 MSP. Magic 2014 follows the Planeswalker Chandra Nalaar and her fiery ways, inviting you to “Ignite Your Spark” as you pursue an enemy Planeswalker across the campaign. The Planeswalkers series is quickly becoming the Madden of XBLA, and with that in mind, here’s what you can expect in this year’s entry.

Magic 2014 features 10 brand new decks to use and perfect across 15 unique encounters. In addition, the Challenge Mode makes a return with 10 new puzzles to rack your brain. As we reported earlier this year, Magic 2014 includes an all new Sealed Play mode, giving you the opportunity to open booster packs and construct a deck for use against other players or the enemy AI. Though it’s not the full deck editor fans have been asking for since the series first landed on XBLA, it’s a step in the right direction.

We got a look at Magic 2014 – Duels of the Planeswalkers at PAX East this year, if you’re on the fence about investing in another year of Magic, that’s a good place to start. As always, we’ll post our official review and challenge guide as soon as they’re ready.
