DotP 2015 Announced
Posted: 10 Apr 2014, 15:52
Looks like we may have another year of modding. DotP 2015 has been announced. Apparently this year we are fighting Garruk. They also consider "build[ing] customizable decks" a new feature so maybe we'll get some leeway in that direction.

It looks like there will be a demo at PAX East again so we'll get a preview after this weekend. The screenshots show mostly cards we've seen in DotP but Accursed Spirit, Arbor Colossus, Maalfeld Twins, Polluted Dead and Undying Evil are new I believe. There is also a card called Necromancer's Assistant (3/1 costing {B} with an ETB effect that puts the top 3 cards of your library in your graveyard) which I can't find on The Gatherer so it may be new. The opponent in one screenshot is also called Living Death. It most likely is an encounter but we might get some interesting new decks.
The articles claim the game has "new features including the ability to build customized decks, new booster packs with premium downloadable content, and an even more robust deck builder". None of these sound new. The optimist in me wants to think the new booster packs and premium downloadable content means a larger variety of cards which could make new abilities/mechanics to the DotP engine. They show a Monstrosity creature but Bestow would be pretty nice as well. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Also, the one ipad screenshot has buttons for "Lands" and "Spells". This could be unique to the ipad/android versions but who knows, maybe we'll get some new mana options this year or some manlands.
Edit - Added another link to some screenshots with cards not shown in the others. I cannot make out the green card in the player's hand between what looks like Primal Huntbeast and Mind Rot. I also don't recognize the card to the left of Child of the Night in the deck editor.
