Today Wizards of the Coast announce 2 new features coming to Magic 2014. Sealed Play and a new take on the Slivers creature type will debut in Duels of the Planewalkers 2014.
The addition of Sealed Play will allow players to open booster packs and build decks to play against the AI and other players. Each sealed pool is comprised of 84 cards, mimicking paper TCG booster packs. The PvE experience includes a six-deck ladder where players take on mono-colored Sealed decks each corresponding with a particular Planeswalker, and finally facing a ‘boss’ Sealed deck. Sealed play has seen itself implemented into quite a few trading card games in the recent years so it comes as no surprise that Magic would be using it too.
Another feature debuting in Magic 2014 is a new take on the popular Slivers creature type. A fan-favorite, new playable Slivers in Magic 2014 decks will include the following: Sliver Construct, Predatory Sliver, Groundshaker Sliver, Megantic Sliver, Blur Sliver, Striking Sliver, Thorncaster Sliver, Battle Sliver, Sentinel Sliver and Bonescythe Sliver.
