Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that they are adding iPad to the list of platforms that you can play Magic: The Gathering Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2013. But just how soon can we expect it?

According to Wizards of the Coast, the 2013 edition  will be available for iPad ‘this summer’. For those that don’t know, Magic: The Gathering  is a collectible trading card game that was introduced by Wizards of the Coast in 1993.

We’re excited to make Magic: The Gathering even more accessible to our growing player base by adding iPad iOS to the suite of platforms that Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 will be available on this summer,” director of Digital Games for Magic: The Gathering Worth Wollpert said in a statement.

It is currently the most popular and most played trading card game, having an estimated twelve million players as of 2011.

The duels edition is set-up to make the learning curve easier, giving you pre-built decks, and the ability to play against and AI until you feel confident. I’m super excited to play this on the iPad, and hope it introduces Magic to a whole new generation!
