Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 is the latest release from Magic: The Gathering, kicking off the Magic 2013 campaign that entices players to “Face A Greater Challenge” against the ultimate evil mastermind of the Multiverse, dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas. Players take on the role of Planeswalkers - powerful mages who battle others for glory, knowledge and conquest. Their weapons include spells, creatures, and artifacts gathered from a vast Multiverse of unique fantasy worlds. With more than 12 million players and fans worldwide, Magic is printed in 11 languages and played in more than 70 countries...

Those that bought Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 will be delighted to hear that good old Wizards of the Coast have released an expansion set for the game. For a mere £3.40 you can add five new playable decks that encompass the Azorius, Golgari, Izzet, Rakdos and Selesnya guilds (which takes in the Return to Ravnica series).

In addition there are new campaign levels, including five new single player campaign levels and five single player revenge campaign levels; five new challenges (another collection of puzzles to tax your brain); ten more persona portraits to unlock; as well as new achievements and more...

If you're a fan of the game and have already purchased the main Duels of the Planeswalkers main game, you won't need my recommendation to pick this up. And at £3.40 this is a steal.
