Use creatures and spells to get your opponent down to zero life.Additionally, some creatures and artifacts generate mana as abilities. Cards are played using mana which are generated by five basic land types: Swamps (Black), Islands (Blue), Forests (Green), Mountains (Red), and Plains (White).After the first mulligan, players can still redraw their hand but drawing one less card each time (so on your second mulligan you only get 6 cards, then 5, and so on). Prior to the game players have the option to redraw their hand once at no penalty, called a "mulligan". The player that goes first does not draw an 8th card during their first turn. Each player begins with 20 life and 7 cards drawn randomly from their deck.Multiplayer mode allows you to face anywhere from 1 to 3 opponents on Xbox Live in standard or ranked matches.The DLC for MTG added several new opponents in the campaign mode that offer new cards for unlocking.

Wizards of the Coast has published deck lists for the pre-constructed decks available in the game, along with the unlockable cards for each on its website. The game has a fast-action, arcade feel and is designed to attract new players, unaccustomed to the more traditional paper game. Rather than allowing players to completely build a deck from scratch, the game utilizes pre-built decks that players can customize.
The game includes mostly cards from the tenth edition, but also has a few cards from the upcoming Shards of Alara expansion. The game includes single-player, co-op (using the two-headed giant rules), multiplayer over Xbox Live, as well as local multiplayer. Duels of the Planeswalkers is an Xbox Live Arcade version of the popular trading card game, Magic: the Gathering.
