Overview

Magic 2015, Duels of the Planeswalkers (referred to in shorthand as Magic 2015) is a video game based on the collectible card game of the same name, first published by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. The game was released in July 2014 on PC (Steam), Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade), iPad (iTunes), and Android devices (Google Play and the Amazon Appstore). An Xbox One version was released in November 2014. It is the fifth game in the Magic: The Gathering, Duels of the Planeswalkers series. The gameplay follows that of the original card game, however within a more restrained framework.

In Magic 2015, players are given the ability to create custom decks. As games are won and experience is earned, new cards of the player's choice are added to their collection. Players are also given the ability to open virtual booster packs to give more options when deck building, and the game gives assistance in creating decks.

Game Informer's Daniel Tack rated the game 88/100, praising its addition of a deck customization feature but wishing for other game modes.
