[Duels Of The Planeswalkers Torrent 2012
Gildo Santiago
I still occasionally play Magic to this day and I have always played computer games, while dabbling with Dungeons & Dragons along the way, so the fact that Shandalar is a wonderful combination of all three things, Magic + computer + role playing game created the perfect storm.
The Astral set cards had abilities that could not be used in the real game without logistical nightmares, such as random effects. This made these cards simultaneously great and scary at the same time.
The duels and tournament play allowed you to play with any deck you built, or the pre-made decks that came with the game, against any one opponent, or you could run the gauntlet and play a tournament.
But the best thing about Shandalar was the single player mode, based in the land of Shandalar, where the roleplaying elements of inventory, gold, towns, dungeons, random battles, and character progression created a wonderful mix of Magic the Gathering and RPG.
There are over 50 enemies running around the world of Shandalar waiting to take you down. They are either minions of one of the five Wizards (one for each color), or they are Mercenaries on their own. Either way, every duel is played for ante. Now, for those of you who are new to the game or have forgotten, back when Magic was a young game, almost all players played ante games and there were even ante cards, no banned in all tournament formats, as the original Alpha rules prescribed that all games were to be played for ante.
Of the nine ante cards that exist in Magic the Gathering only seven are in the game, because two; Amulet of Quoz from Ice Age and Timmerian Fiends from Homelands, were in sets not included within the game. Playing for ante is simple, before the game each player puts the top card of his deck aside and the winner of the game gets both cards. Shandalar works on the ante system because playing a few duels can net you quite the collection of cards to build a better deck with, or to sell for food or even to buy other cards, again to improve your own deck.
But Magic the Gathering: Duels of The Planeswalkers a.k.a. Shandalar, was the forefather to MTG:O, that cannot be denied, because the first expansion to the game had ManaLink, which allowed you to connect via modem, yes this was current technology or the time, and play against an opponent online.
@DaivRules I'm not finding anything about delistings other than some region specific DLCs, but I can't track down the remaining content. I was however reminded of the upcoming Diablo-esc Magic Legends MMO that's coming "2021".
seems like for magic the gathering duel of the planeswalkers the DLC are available in the UK store but the Main game is not anymore. can anyone tell me if the Dlc are compatible with the main game from the austrian store? anyway i can find this out thats not trying?^^
the upgrad is not available in the austrian store but if you download the game and then in the menu go to "by" on the installation it might work. at least thats how i was able to redownload the activation key that was not in my downloadlist anymore
ok to anyone who is interested.
With ger accounts if you download the trial you can start the game and go to "downloadable content" or "Inahlt herunterladen" in german. there you can buy everything. the unlock key and DLC are all available
@Ich1994-1994 Hmm when I try the German store I only see an option to download the free trial, but no buy button for the main game (I do see the prices and purchase options for the DLC..) Do you see the buy button in the actual store?
Also when you are in the XMB you can go to the trial and then press triangle to open that side menu in which you can delete the game. For trials there is also a "Buy" option that leads you to the FUllgame upgrade. Maybe try that
Yeah, that worries me.. when I press triangle I see delete, sort, update etc but no "buy" option. I tried updating from the game lots of times as well as uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck unfortunately. I fear they may have finally removed it completely from the EU stores ?How long ago did your boosting partner manage to buy it?

There are lots of different ways to play the game, including campaign duelling against various AI opponents with extra brain-teaser challenges along the way, quick duels with AI opponents, and online co-op with you and a friend against two other people. There are also online game play options with the option to play with 2-4 players. Microsoft seem to be confident that this game will take off with additional content able to be downloaded from the main menu.
The meh: After a bit of research, I discovered that the fans of the real card game have issue with what they see as the major flaw in the game: the inability to fully customize your deck as much as you obviously can with an actual physical deck of cards.
