Battle for Zendikar Arrives in Magic Duels!
This is the Wizards of the Coast community team with a message from the Magic Duels team about the Battle for Zendikar update.

In late September we made the decision to delay the Battle for Zendikar update to Magic Duels because it wasn’t yet ready for prime time. However, after a lot of hard work, we are happy to announce that the update is available now for players on Steam. The update will also address some issues that players have encountered playing the game. Later today, we will release a full list of the patch notes for the update.

We’re excited to finally get the game into your hands, and we can’t wait to see what decks you all craft with the new cards!

Thank you for your passion and continued support.

Patch Notes for the 9/10/2015 Update!
Hello Duels fans! You all may have noticed that we released a patch for our game today! Here are some of the changes you'll notice as you're playing:

1. Archangel of Tithes and Oppressive Rays no longer cause the game to become unresponsive during an attack or block against an AI player.

2. Talent of the Telepath only allows its controller to cast up to two of the revealed spells as intended instead of all available instant and sorcery cards that are revealed.

3. Lands that enter the battlefield from libraries will now display with the correct orientation to players.

4. Fixed an issue in Two-Headed Giant where a player was unable to block when their teammate had no available mana when an opponent had Archangel of Tithes in play.

We understand that some players are still experiencing other issues within the game. We’re continuing to work on these fixes and will update our players on future patches as they are ready.

The Duels Community Unlocks a Look at a Battle for Zendikar Preview Card!
Congratulations to all of our players who participated in the "Uncharted Realms" community quest! Together you were able to play enough lands and get the chance to see a new preview card from "Battle for Zendikar." For those who didn't see it already, here's NIssa's Renewal:



Often, a six mana spell is a powerful effect that will close out a game. But what if there are even bigger, more powerful creatures for you to cast with all that mana? What about getting some extra lands for that X spell sitting in your hand? Nissa's Renewal helps cushion your life total while setting yourself up for a huge play the next turn!

Look forward to playing Nissa's Renewal when the "Battle for Zendikar" expansion arrives for Magic Duels - release date and further details to come soon!
