This article is about the game released in 2012. For other uses, see Duels of the Planeswalkers (disambiguation).

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, also known as Duels 2013 is a digital Magic game that came out June 20, 2012 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows and (for the first time) iPad.

Description

Duels 2013 is the sequel to Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012.

Purchasers of the game received access to a coupon which could be redeemed for a 6-card sampler of Magic 2013 cards. Duels 2013 received a number of upgrades from previous iterations of the series. It launched with manual mana tapping, a deeper stat tracking system, the inclusion of an end step, and a more balanced and cohesive roster of decks. The Duels of the Planeswalkers video games were now meant to be a gateway product for new players to be introduced to Magic. Thus, Duels 2013 and M13 were developed and designed with each other in mind. Both used the same art, referencing the big bad of the sets: Nicol Bolas.

The Planechase format was featered as a multiplayer option.

Expansion

The Ravnica expansion for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 featured five two-color decks, five added single-player campaign levels and five single-player revenge campaign levels, five additional challenges, and additional persona portraits, achievements and trophies to unlock.
