This guide was created to help people with the Challenge Missions in
Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012. You will find solutions to all 15 Challenges.
(more to be added as they come via DLC assuming they do).
Simply Ctrl-F for the name of the mission you need.
I have personally tested and RE-tested all of these solutions to be certain
they will work as long as you do them in the proper order. However there are
possibly other solutions (feel free to send them to me if you'd like via
contact info at the bottom).
