Magic the Gathering XBLA Will Contain Magic 2010 Damage Rule Changes
For the first time in ten years, new core rule changes were announced this past week by Wizards of the Coast for playing Magic: the Gathering, the biggest of which is the removal of the "Stack" concept for dealing damage. With the release of Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers for Xbox Live Arcade coming out next Wednesday, I decided to check to see if these recent rule changes would be reflected in the game. Here’s what
Wizards had to say:
Keywords and templating changes are not updated in Duels. Mana burn is not a factor in Duels (because the computer taps your lands for you). The biggest rules change for 2010 is the damage on the stack, and that isupdated for Duels. In other words, damage doesn’t use the stack in Duels, and that’s in line with the rules changes announced on Wednesday.
