    Thanks for the feedback. I decided for the sake of completeness to get the individual packages on top of the special editions. It's the cheapest I'll ever get them. So it was worth it just to have them in complete form.

    Wizards has just announced on their @Magic_Duels Twitter feed that DotP 2013, 2014 & 2015 all have 75% off on Steam for the next day or so.

    I'd like to pick these up but am a bit confused with the listings. I wonder if anyone who has bought and played the games can shed some light.

    For DotP 2013 there are the following bundles:
    • DotP 2013
    • DotP 2013 Special Edition - DotP 2013, Soundtrack, 5 Wallpapers, Path of the Planeswalker 2 PDF, 10 Foil Conversions
    • DotP 2013 Gold Game - DotP 2013, Deck Pack 1, Deck Pack 2, Deck Pack 3, Expansion Pack
    • DotP 2013 Gold Complete - Gold Game, 21 Deck Unlocks, 21 Foil Conversions

    Also available are the following separate items that are basically the addons to turn Gold into Gold Complete:
    • DotP 2013 Gold Foil Bundle - 21 Deck Unlocks
    • DotP 2013 Gold Foil Bundle - 21 Foil Conversions

    For DotP 2014 there are the following bundles:
    • DotP 2014
    • DotP 2014 Special Edition - DotP 2014, Soundtrack, 5 Wallpapers, RTR eBook, 10 Foil Conversions
    • DotP 2014 Gold Game - DotP 2014, Deck Pack 1, Deck Pack 2, Deck Pack 3, Expansion Pack
    • DotP 2014 Gold Complete - Gold Game, 21 Deck Unlocks, 21 Foil Conversions

    Also available are the following unique items. Each deck unlock and foil conversion is still available individually, but I won't be getting those anyhow.:
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 03
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 04
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 05
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 06-10
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 11-15
    • Sealed Play Deck - Slot 16-20

    I understand the Sealed Play Deck slots, the Expansion Pack, the Deck Packs, and the keys and foil conversions. What I would really like to know is, do the Gold bundles come with the Special Edition content? (i.e. the Soundtrack, Wallpapers and eBook)

    For DotP 2015 it is a lot easier:
    • Garruk's Revenge Expansion
    • Innistrad Card Collection
    • Theros Card Collection
    • Ravnica Card Collection
    • Shandalar Card Collection
    • Zendikar Card Collection
    • Alara Card Collection
    • Battle Boosters Unlock

    I already have the Special Edition, so all I need to get is the Garruk's Revenge Expansion.

    All the other DLCs seem to be unlocks that I can normally get through gameplay so they aren't worth buying. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.

    Obviously, this is time sensitive so I would appreciate getting an answer before the 34 hours time left runs out.

    You'll have to go through to find the specific art token that matches the card that created it. Some never existed in paper form. And some have low resolution artwork on MTGO so the "generated" versions aren't the best. You'll just have to check each of the ones mentioned out and find the one that you prefer using.

    The cards that were reprinted in Tempest Remastered create the same tokens they originally created so they are already included in the first post. However, if you're interested in cross-checking, the 11 cards in Tempest Remastered that make tokens are as follows:

    1/1 White Spirit - Field of Souls
    1/1 White Pegasus with flying - Pegasus Stampede
    2/2 White Reflection - Spirit Mirror
    1/1 Black Rat - Lab Rats
    2/2 Black Zombie - Sarcomancy
    1/1 Red Goblin - Mogg Infestation
    1/1 Green Spike - Spike Breeder
    1/1 Green Saproling - Verdant Force
    1/1 Colourless Sliver - Sliver Queen
    1/1 Colourless Artifact Thopter with flying - Thopter Squadron
    2/2 Colour? Type? - Volrath's Laboratory

    Unless there is specific online art available for the tokens in MTGO that showcases different/new art, I don't expect any of this to affect the original post.

    No word on where that art will be featured yet.

    Considering we are now out of Tarkir territory and getting into Origins, the only chance that that art will see print on a card is if it is featured in a future box set such as a Duel Deck or a Commander deck. It is a shame because Sunscorch would have been a much better Dragonfury prize than Foe-Razer Regent.

    Seriously no Emblems?! I didn't open the decks yet but did not expect that. That's a shocking mistake on their part considering Venser vs. Koth and similar.

    Conspiracy - New Tokens & Emblem
    1/1 White Spirit with Flying - Custodi Soulbinders, Doomed Traveler and Rousing of Souls

    4/4 Red Ogre - Grenzo's Rebuttal

    More information on http://www.magiclibrarities.net/151-rarities-introductory-two-player-set-cards--cards-index.html

    The cards look similar to Fourth Edition cards, but feature a 1996 copyright date and some reformatted text.

    For collector purposes these are unique cards with different scans.

    New/Repeated stuff to be surmised from the Solicitation Document.

    1. It will tease 6 cards from Theros. Polukranos, World Eater is one of those 6
    2. 7 of the reprinted cards will have new art that has never previously seen print (the way this is worded, we expect an MTGO Cube or similar art to feature as at least one of these). This is excluding Sun Titan and Polukranos, World Eater
    3. 2 Creature Tokens. I know that this is very little to go on, but it is new information.
    And now we wait for more.

    What I find interesting is that there isn't even a Wizards or MTG category on the website as it stands.

  • posted a message on [[M14]] Buy a Box Promo - Ratchet Bomb
    Found this tiny image of the promo Ratchet Bomb on the mothership on this page's banner: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Default.aspx

    I know that it is very small but at least it gives us an idea of what the promo version will look like.

    At the size seen it actually looks a lot like the WPN promo of Golem's Heart with a bit more colour to it.

  • posted a message on M13 ring areas are now in creature names?
    I think you may be out of luck. The current way things lie it looks like each colour will have a mythic iconic tribe creature and a mythic rare spell (instant/sorcery/enchantment) and then a cycle of mythic planeswalkers to complete the 15 mythics of the set.

    The Sphinx and Demon have already been spoiled and don't have names that match with the Shandalar areas. The green mythic creature could still be from Kalonia but I have a strong suspicion that this cycle won't be completed in the slots we currently have.

    It may get completed in Blue and Black rare slots rather than mythic slots but Wizards doesn't often do that with strong flavoured cycles.

    Venser's death still irks me... It is almost as if someone in creative planning said:

    "Let's bring back an old well loved planeswalker character just to show that we can do it. Then let's kill him/her."

    Not only that, the way in which he died goes against everything currently known about the planeswalker spark not being stuck/located in one biological organ. Karn should have been able to rekindle his spark without a meat heart. Xantha's heartstone still does the job.

    Bah... The whole of SOM to NPH story is a mess. Glissa included.
