New Duels Of The Planeswalkers Game Announced

Get those mana tapping thumbs ready.

Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers was a great CCG that experienced a decent amount of success over Xbox Live Arcade. So, it’s only natural that Wizards of the Coast followed it up with an expanded offering, right? Right. The publisher has plans to show off Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 at PAX East, a new game in the fledgling series that's set to hit XBLA, PSN, and PC via Steam on an unspecified date.

According to a Joystiq post, Duels 2012 will feature "new game modes, Planeswalker opponents, decks, and puzzle challenges." It’ll also feature another tutorial mode to teach people how to play Magic: The Gathering, which is a lot harder to do than you think.  
 

 This is from the original game, but I'd imagine elephants will be in the next one, too.

No word on price or specifically if the dudes behind the title will let you build your own decks of cards this time around, but I’d imagine we’ll learn all of this rather soon.
