MTG Puzzle Quest

~
Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,

With Pax Prime (Seattle) coming up this very weekend, Magic: the Gathering fans are chomping at the bit to get their fill of all wondrous things, but first and foremost, sneak peaks at the upcoming MTG sets - namely Battle for Zendikar, with a chance of Commander 2015.

But hold on - beyond the numerous Wizards of the Coast Panels and opportunities to play Magic, there is another exciting thing to look forward to - to be one of the first to play Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest.  If you are unfamiliar with Puzzle Quest, the existing Warlords / Challenge of the Warlords have Players assume the role of a character with various statistics such as combat ability, morale, and magical affinity with combat being conducted entirely via turn-based puzzle action similar to Bejeweled or Zoo Keeper.

The news out today (link, link, link) - D3 Go! and Wizards of the Coast have partnered to create Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest, a mobile game that blends the hypnotic match-3 puzzle elements of the popular Puzzle Quest franchise with the strategic gameplay and expansive lore of the groundbreaking Magic: The Gathering trading card game.

Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest will be available to download for free on the App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore this fall. Fans will have a chance to be among the first to play Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest in the Annex at PAX Prime 2015 in Seattle on August 28-31.

Players will engage in pitched conflicts with rival Planeswalkers and monsters through intense match-3 puzzle battles, earning levels and amassing a collection of powerful creatures, spells and artifacts along the way.
