    The new multicolor decks are fantastic, the green/black one is going to be a beast!

    Favorite deck in the expansion so far?

    So which deck from the expansion is everyone's favorite so far?

    Did those earlier released promo codes mean the expansion decks start with a few bonus cards?

    Yes, it starts with 10 unlocks already.

    I only have Izzet unlocked, and so far I love it's ability to draw cards (which makes up for mana issues)

    My next unlock would be Golgari due to it's ability to fetch lands, again to make up for mana issues. :D

    I think a fully-unlocked Rakdos deck must be a real powerhouse, and I've always had a soft spot for Abyssal Gatekeeper ever since Weatherlight, so nice to see him back in Golgari.dec.

    But I don't think any of the new decks rivals Infinimancer for good times. A kicked Rite of Replication is still the most fun you can have in the whole game.

    Scroll to the right (the tabs on the top portion of the screen). After the normal campaigns, revenge, challenges, you will see the expansion campaign.

    I've always been a sucker for white/blue decks so i'm very pleased with aura servants at the moment. I haven't given the other decks a fair chance yet so it might change.

    Not the most intuitive system, but you go to campaigns then keep cycling thru the tabs at top until you find "expansion campaign". You can then start unlocking the expansion decks, took me about 20 min to get all five. Yeah I was "WTF" at first also, took me a bit to find them!

    I'm just getting back into the game to see if I want the expansion, and I had the oddest exalted deck win against a goblin deck. Clawdagger Imp + Ring of Xathrid + Worship. The Ring kept the Imp in play which couldn't be blocked and alive Imp powered Worship to keep me alive. I went from losing 3 to 20 to winning with 1 life.

    The Rock or basically G/B Aggro Control has always been my favorite and there has not been a good sub for deeds ever in my opinion. So having a deck with mongers and deeds makes this the best expansion I could have possibly hoped for. Now, if you could just arrange for 2 copies of duress as promo cards, that would be splendid :D

    As someone who is just getting into MTG I'm very dissapointed that this is not universal and avaliable in IPhone version as well.

    Haven't heard anything about promo cards unlock for the expansion. So far we get the ten additional cards. Will check intoit though.

    I've just recently started watching a few Duels 2013 videos of the PSN/XBLA versions and I noticed that the lands have more than one art for a type, so there are two or three type of Forests differing only in art. All the lands in the iPad version seem to look the same. Am I missing something?

    Universal, and having a couple different user interfaces to accommodate all that information on the iPhone's tiny screen. Yeah, right, that's going to happen, like, never. They may end up creating a different version for iPhone, but universal? No way.

    Don't want to start a flame, but who's stating they'll end up creating a different version for iPhone??? Assassin's Creed: Recollections, just for a simple example, had similar M13 problem (table, critically important info on cards, timing, very intricate and precise ruling, etc) and after some time was released as a UNIVERSAL app, despite a huge amount of fans (including me, luckily I was terribly wrong) are betting their own lives this game will never see the iphone screen (I prefer playing on my ipads, but this serves as an example).

    M13 is really difficult to port on a tiny screen (I'm no programmer, but it's quite understandable, since I know perfectly this game and I can figure easily how many things must be accessible when playing a match - an iphone cannot grant the same surface of an ipad or a tv... Without killing your eyes, I mean!), who knows if it will be released or not, but simply stating "they'll never release a universal app, they'll surely release a different one etc" it's a negative way to see the whole thing, but that's only my opinion.

    I buy and play/use ipad/iphone4 apps since the release of the first ipad (in fact, I follow this cool forum since then...!!!) and I can assure you that the trend is completely reversed since last year, also, many apps previously released "only for this idevice" received even a subsequent update which made them universal. Tons of my apps are universal, incredibly universal I may say... Some of these (M13, Nightfall, AC:R just to say some heavily table-consuming ones) are perfectly understandable if they will be released as a different program. Maybe we'll get positively surprised again... Be positive...

    Last but not least: nobody forces us to buy a different release of the same app, and I may assure you this attitude was emerging initially on the ipad's rise... Now you can appreciate the positive general outcome... ^^
