“We are thrilled with the success of Magic: The Gathering and the tremendous growth of our player community worldwide,” said Wizards of the Coast president Greg Leeds. “Smart, strategic and competitive gamers love to get together to battle and have fun using their intellectual strengths. With more than 12 million players and fans in more than 70 countries and 500,000 units of Duels of the Planeswalkers sold on XBLA, Magic is experiencing record growth and delivering players a truly integrated gaming experience across both digital and real world.”

Wizards of the Coast will be demoing the Archenemy game mode, which lets three players team up against one AI controlled archenemy, at PAX East this weekend, so if you plan on attending and want to get a sneak peek, head over to the Magic: The Gathering booth (#648).

that sounds very cool

[chronovore]

Again I find I am not even finished with the original game and the sequel will be out before I manage to finish it.

[The Sceneman]

I have one cheevo left in the original game. I should try and get it soon for 350/350 (no idea how they managed to get to that GS total, shoulda capped at 250 like every other XBLA game)

[iconoclast]

Trials HD is 300/300 too. I think developers are allowed an extra 50gs (or 250gs for retail games) every quarter or something. Or maybe 3x a year. I dunno.

[magus]

still keep saying that duels of the planeswalker is nothing more than a glorified magic demo just to get you to buy the real thing

but anyway i wonder if they are going to add commander mode,probably for the 3rd game

[chronovore]

I think GS is capped at 1750 for retail titles and 350 for XBLA, where the additions would theoretically be in 50 and 250 GS increments over three installments of DLC or updates. I think this happened in 2008, but can't recall exactly.

The funny one was Crackdown, which launched with 900 GS possible, then was updated to 1100?
