===============================================================================
Section 1.0 - Duels of the Planeswalkers
===============================================================================
Magic: The Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers is a somewhat flawed but fun
take on the collectible card game by Wizards of the Coast. Originating on the
X-Box 360, it proved so popular that it was ported to the Playstation 3 and
even the PC (despite the presence of the superior Magic Online already). A
sequel has already been released on all three platforms as well.

The original Duels of the Planeswalkers received three expansion (DLC) packs
adding new cards, challenges, and opponents each time. This guide focuses on
the second expansion pack. The later expansion packs dropped names for
whatever reason, so while the first was called Duel the Dragon, the other two
were simply numbered. This is even more odd since now the Magic 2012 version
has an expansion with an actual name. For the purpose of this guide, the
second expansion is refered to as Master of Shadows, after the expansion's
final opponent.

I am writing this guide because while there is a lot of coverage of the base
game online, very little beyond achievement guides can be found for any of
the three expansions. This is understandable I suppose given that less and
less people likely downloaded each consecutive pack, but I hope that this
compilation of information can be useful to anyone picking up these packs who
needs some help or information.

===============================================================================
Section 2.0 - Master of Shadows
===============================================================================
Section 2.1 - Master of Shadows Single-Player Campaign
===============================================================================
Master of Shadows adds eight rounds to the single-player campaign. You face
each opponent in sequence with a more limited deck that is "stacked" against
them. This is followed by a fully unlocked and randomized deck stack match
with each of the four. Some general strategies for beating these opponents
follows:

Nicol Bolas - Eons of Evil
--------------------------
Nicol Bolas uses a lot of dragons and a lot of direct damage and removal
spells. His deck this time around is stacked a little more in your favor to
make the new campaign a little more forgiving.

Bolas' greatest weakness is his reliance on three colors of mana. Usually he
does not have trouble getting the colors he needs, but every now and then you
can catch a lucky break and he will get mana screwed.

Aside from hoping for a lucky break, your best bet is to go with a flood
strategy. Nissa Revane, Elspeth Tirel, or Sarkhan Vol are probably your best
bets. Heavy control decks just cannot compete at the same level as Bolas,
forcing you to rely on brute force.

Setting up a situation where Bolas' own creatures work against him is not only
satisfying, but is often necessary. If you can eliminate all of his creatures
while he has a Xathrid Demon in play, you're almost guaranteed a win. The AI
is finicky as it will cast Xathrid Demon even if it has no other creatures in
play, just don't hold your breath that he draws one.

Nicol Bolas is very difficult and will require a lot of patience and careful
planning. Sometimes you just get unlucky too and Bolas will seemingly draw the
perfect card for every situation multiple turns in a row. Just keep at it and
you will eventually dethrone the dragon.

Rhys the Redeemed - Heart of Worlds
-----------------------------------
Even though Rhys was from Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block, his deck is more firmly
entrenched in Zendikar. This deck was intended to showcase many of the cards
of the then-new expansion. All but two cards in the deck have a converted
mana cost of four or less, meaning he can flood you quickly, so use a fast
deck to take him out if possible.

Emeria Angel creates token creatures from her landfall ability. Steppe Lynx,
Territorial Baloth, and Baloth Woodcrasher likewise gain power and toughness
from their landfall abilities. Combined with his fetch cards, such as Evolving
Wilds, Harrow, Kor Cartographer, Pilgrim's Eye, and Farhaven Elf, he will pump
his creatures up for large swings by dropping multiple lands on a turn. Save
some blockers and/or instants for these events. He cannot usually muster more
than one or two of these a game since most of these effects are a one-time
deal.

Cliff Threader and Marsh Threader are useful as both landwalkers and as chump
blockers. He will put enchantments on them to make them bigger, so if you have
the affected land in play, expect to get pinged every turn. Rhys seems very
hesitant to use them as blockers, however, so if you do not have the affected
land he will often just sit on them.

Although a number of his other creatures have the ability to gain things like
flying and vigilance from landfall, Rhys does not seem to use these abilities
properly; that is, the AI does not seem to actually plan to give Fledgling
Griffin flying, for example. Glazing Gladeheart will often get used to heal
him as the battle drags on, but Rhys again will sit on Evolving Wilds and not
use it to save himself with a fetch.

Chandra Ablaze - Heat of Battle
-------------------------------
Chandra has very few creatures compared to many of the other decks. Canyon
Minotaur and Fire Elemental are two vanilla critters at her disposal. The
Fiery Hellhound, of which there are four in the deck, will probably be her
most commonly played creature. She does not usually pump it at all, and if
she does will do so in the main phase almost exclusively.

Blaze, Ember Shot, Flame Wave, Heat Ray, Incinerate, Lava Axe, Magma Rift,
Pyroclasm, and Volcanic Axe are all straight burn cards. In fact, every card
initially available (except a single Act of Treason) that is not a creature is
a burn card. Suffice to say, your primary goal with this deck is a quick burn
to victory.

Quest for Pure Flame and Vicious Shadows are the only two unlockable cards
that aren't repeats of note. Quest for the Pure Flame gains a quest counter
every time you deal damage to an opponent. It can be sacrficed to cause all
sources of damage you control to deal double damage for one turn, so save it
up for a big burn if the game drags on and you have to rely on it.

Vicious Shadows deals damage to your opponent equal to the cards in their hand
whenever a creature dies. This triggers off both your and their creatures, so
if you block and cause both creatures to die, it triggers twice. The AI does
not tend to sit on cards, but if they are mana screwed you can hit them pretty
hard once you get this out.

Sorin Markov - Master of Shadows
--------------------------------
Sorin Markov, the Master of Shadows, hails from the plane of Innistrad. In this
expansion he wields a number of vampires from Zendikar and the Magic 2010 core
set. His deck is fast and has a very strong tribal theme.

Early game watch out for Blood Seekers. If Sorin gets a few of these out, the
damage you take from bringing your own creatures into play is going to grow
and grow. Pulse Tracker, likewise, will be problematic early game because he
does one damage to you every time he attacks. If you have a blocker, however,
Sorin will usually not attack you even if it is the best option because of the
AI.

Vampire Nighthawk is a very universal creature. It has flying, deathtouch, and
lifelink. This means it can block almost everything, it kills anything it
touches without first strike regardless of toughness, and you gain life every
time it does damage. Unfortunately, Sorin is using them against you. These
fliers, even more than the Blood Seekers, will ruin your strategies involving
creatures. The AI actually will use these fliers in a way that makes sense:
to block your biggest creatures to kill with deathtouch.

You need to be fast to overcome Sorin. He has an obscene amount of creature
removal and his vampires will flood you very quickly. Ears of Elves or Weapons
of the Warrior are probably the two best decks to deal with Sorin. Using
either of these you want to simply outflood Sorin. You could also go with both
Jace decks, Mind of Void or Thoughts of Wind, and just go for hard control.
This will mean a muc longer match, but if you are having trouble stemming off
the flood of vampires, you might try that path.

===============================================================================
Section 2.2 - Master of Shadows Two-Headed Giant Campaign
===============================================================================
Duel the Dragon adds four more matches to the Two-Headed Giant Campaign. These
rounds mix both the new decks with the old, making for some interesting combo
decks for you and a friend to face.

Rhys the Redeemed - Heart of Worlds / Elspeth Tirel - Wings of Light
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Of the two opponents, Rhys the Redeemed is your real threat. Rhys takes strong
advantage of landfall abilities. Most of his creatures have abilities that
trigger of bringing land into play. The majority of his creatures gain power
and toughness, but Emeria Angel in particular will put flying tokens into play.
He also has a minor landwalk theme that becomes particularly potent in the
Two-Headed Giant format.

Elspeth Tirel's biggest contribution are fliers. She has access to her
expansion cards, including Baneslayer Angel. If she gets that particular
creature out, you'll be in a very bad place to say the least. Her other major
contribution are white control cards, such as Holy Day and Pacifism. She also
has two Voice of Alls to fill in gaps in their defense.

Hard control is somewhat unwieldy in this environment, so your next best bet
is to go with heavy creature decks. Elspeth will pacify a number of your
creatures, but if can keep them coming she will not be able to keep up. The
other good bet is to use two burn decks, Heat of Battle and Hands of Flame
to burn through their forces.

Chandra Ablaze - Heat of Battle / Jace Beleren - Thoughts of the Wind
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Red and blue face you here in a traditional counter-burn combo vice an Izzet-
style deck. Chandra uses her new deck, while Jace uses his deck from the base
game.

Chandra, as mentioned, is the burn side of the counter-burn combo team here.
Blaze, Ember Shot, Flame Wave, Heat Ray, Incinerate, Lava Axe, Magma Rift,
Pyroclasm, and Volcanic Axe are all straight burn cards. She has a few bland
creatures as well, such as Fiery Hellhound and Canyon Minotaur. She also has
access to Vicious Shadows in this format, which seems to trigger roughly
twice as often in most matches in this format.

Jace is the counter side of the counter-burn combo team. He's got a good
selection of counter spells, as well as a selection of flying creatures. He
will bog you down while Chandra burns you, meaning that while Chandra is the
brute force hurting you most often, Jace is the mastermind manipulating you
into taking this damage.

The best response here to counter-burn is probably your own counter-burn.
Utilize a burn deck, Heat of Battle or Hands of Flame, and a counter deck,
Thoughts of Wind, Mind of Void, or Relics of Doom. Using a similiar build,
you can also replace one or both of these decks with Root of the Firemind
or Eons of Evil if you have access to them.

Nicol Bolas - Eons of Evil / Sarkhan Vol - Scales of Fury
---------------------------------------------------------
Master and slave face you in this duel. Nicol Bolas wields his deck playable
deck, while Sarkhan Vol uses his deck from the base game. Bolas is the big
guy, leaving Sarkhan to dominate the early game, while Bolas will crush his
foes in the late game.

Nicol Bolas uses a lot of dragons and a lot of direct damage and removal
spells. He uses three colors of mana, but he rarely has trouble getting all
three out at once. The same tricks in single-player work here, such as letting
his Xathrid Demon come into play and eat up his own forces.

Sarkhan Vol uses three colors of mana as well, although in general his forces
are smaller and less expensive than Bolas. Civic Wayfinder will fetch him land
and give him a creature, while Sprouting Thrinax will show up a lot more often
than you would like.

Fast decks work best against this duo. They both take a bit of time to get
going, meaning you have the early game to run rampant often. Ears of Elves,
Master of Shadows, Weapons of the Warrior, Wings of Light, and Teeth of the
Predator are all good bets. If you have access to both of them, Ears of Elves
with Master of Shadows is probably the best of these combinations.

Sarkhan Vol - Scales of Fury / Sorin Markov - Master of Shadows
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sorin Markov teams up with Sarkhan Vol for the final push of this campaign.
Sorin, obviously, is the biggest threat, but Sarkhan pulls his weight here as
well.

Sarkhan Vol will do the same sorts of things he did in the previous match. His
Civic Wayfinder will get him lands, while his creatures will only get bigger
and bigger as he gets more mana to cast them with. He's also got a splash of
creature removal to watch out for.

Sorin Markov uses his deck from the single-player campaign. You need to be fast
to overcome him. He has an obscene amount of creature removal and his vampires
will flood you very quickly. Coupled with Sarkhan's own mix of removal and
creatures, you can be facing a huge army in no time at all.

It may sound odd, but Ears of Elves mixed with Mind of Void is a good counter
to this deck combo. Ears of Elves provides a steady creature base, while Mind
Of Void gives you access to both counters and mill strategies. Depending on
what Sarkhan and Sorin get, you can either lock down into defense mode and
mill them to death, or you can counter their bigger creatures and removal
while hitting him with your elvish forces every turn.

===============================================================================
Section 2.3 - Master of Shadows Challenges
===============================================================================
Below are the solutions to the three new challenges added with Duel the Dragon.
When reading these solutions, play cards IN THE EXACT ORDER specified. Doing
otherwise will not guarantee you a win, so please make sure you have the order
correct before engaging in spell casts and attacks.

Garruk Wildpseaker - Challenge 1
--------------------------------
Equip Blade of the Bloodchief to Vampire Nighthawk. Next cast Feast of Blood
on Oran-Rief Recluse to kill it and damage Garruk. Next cast Disfigure on one
of your vampires (not the Vampire Nighthawk). Follow this up with your second
Disfigure on another vampire. Attack with the pumped-up Vampire Nighthawk to
finish him off.

Garruk Wildspeaker - Challenge 2
--------------------------------
Cast Selective Memory and exile all your non-land cards. Now cast Treasure Hunt
to draw your whole deck. Drop a Forest and give trample to Maro. That last
Forest will give him th efinal boost he needs, so swing to win.

Nicol Bolas - Challenge 3
-------------------------
Tap and sacrifice Evolving Wilds to put the last land in your deck onto the
battlefield. Cast Brainstorm. The order you put cards back does not matter,
but you want to keep both Excommunicate and Polymorph. Cast Excommunicate and
target Phage the Untouchable. Once this resolves, cast Polymoprh on the
Darksteel Colossus. This will be discarded and Phage the Untouchable will be
put into play, winning the match for you.

Tezzeret the Seeker - Challenge 4
---------------------------------
Pass until your turn ends. When your next turn starts, you will draw Lorthos
the Tidemaker. Once you do, pass until your turn ends again, ignoring the
request to summon Lorthos the Tidemaker. On turn three, use the prompt to
summon Lorthos the Tidemaker. Drop an Island, then attack with Lorthos. When
asked to pick which cards to tap, tap the Platinum Angel and seven of
Tezzeret's Islands. Once damage resolves, cast Unsummon and target the
Platinum Angel to win.

Sarkhan Vol - Challenge 5
-------------------------
Cast Eladamri's Call and pick Plated Geopede. Use Elvish Piper's ability to put
the Plated Geopede into play. When Sarkhan attempts to burn the Plated Geopede,
stop the timer and cast Harrow twice. Bring in both a Mountain and a Forest for
use. The landfall effects will save the Plated Geopede and allow you to
sacrifice Khalni Heart Expedition to give it flying. Swing with the Plated
Geopede to finish the final challenge of this expansion.

===============================================================================
Section 3.0 - Decks and Unlockables
===============================================================================
Section 3.1 - New Deck Lists
===============================================================================
Master of Shadows adds three new playable decks, as well as a fourth boss deck
that would not become playable until the third expansion.

For the unlockabe cards in these decks, a number appears in paranthesis next to
it. This number indicates how many wins with the deck you must earn before
unlocking said card.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3.1.1 - Nicol Bolas (Eons of Evil)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicol Bolas' Eons of Evil is the boss deck of the first expansion. As one would
surmise, this deck is very powerful. It becomes playable once you download the
full version of the second expansion.

Bolas' greatest weakness is his reliance on three colors of mana. Usually you
will get the right mix of lands and artifacts to play your cards, but do not
be afraid to mulligan or reload if you are not completely comfortable with your
hand.

Most of Bolas' creatures are pretty expensive. The trade-off is they are all
more powerful than most of the creatures found in other decks. Bolas has a lot
of fliers, a boon in this game since many decks do not have them. His cheapest
creature is Plague Beetle, a 1/1 with swampwalk. More commonly, however, you
will probably use this as a chump blocker until you get enough mana for one of
your big guys.

Wanderer's Twig and Evolving Wilds are your ticket to fetching the land you
need. Do not be afraid to use them early, but make sure you grab the kind of
mana you will be missing once you play the lands you have in your hand. If
you can afford to wait a turn for another draw, that may be the path to take
if you are in need of more than one kind of mana. Remember too that you can
wait until your opponent's turn to sacrfice either of them for the kind of
land you need.

Terminate and Terror are your creature removal spells. Just like fetching
lands, do not be afraid to use these if you need to, but likewise if your foe
is building up a huge mana supply and sitting on his hand, it might be better
to let their little critters keep pegging until they drop one of the big
monsters.

Section 3.1.2 - Rhys the Redeemed (Heart of Worlds)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhys the Redeemed is an interesting inclusion since he is unequivically not a
planeswalker. Niv-Mizzet may or may not be one as well, but there is a lot of
ambiguity to that dragon's character in general.

Even though Rhys was from Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block, his deck is more firmly
entrenched in Zendikar. This deck was intended to showcase many of the cards
of the then-new expansion in a playable format. As many of his cards are
relatively inexpensive, it often behooves you to wait to drop lands until
you can build up some nice landfall combos. All but two cards in the deck have
a converted mana cost of four or less.

Emeria Angek creates token creatures from her landfall ability. Steppe Lynx,
Territorial Baloth, and Baloth Woodcrasher likewise gain power and toughness
from their landfall abilities. Combine this with your fetch cards, such as
Evolving Wilds, Harrow, Kor Cartographer, Pilgrim's Eye, and Farhaven Elf, to
boost this higher and higher on a turn.

Cliff Threader and Marsh Threader are useful as both landwalkers and as chump
blockers. If you're facing the appropriate planeswalker you can save your
enchantments for some easy swipes. If they're the wrong color, save them for
chump blocking as necessary.

Section 3.1.3 - Chandra Ablaze (Heat of Battle)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new deck for Chandra, featuring her Zendikar persona, is a step up from her
original deck. That being said, it still plays rather similiarly as a burn
deck.

Chandra has very few creatures compared to many of the other decks. Canyon
Minotaur and Fire Elemental are two vanilla critters at your disposal. Your
basic red pump creature is the Fiery Hellhound, of which there are four in the
deck. This will probably be your most commonly played creature. If you attack
and wait to pump it after it has already swung, the AI will usually respond as
a more inexperienced player would; it will block with a bigger creature if it
has one, but will usually not chump block with a smaller one. Use this to sneak
in extra damage or take out a bigger creature as needed.

Blaze, Ember Shot, Flame Wave, Heat Ray, Incinerate, Lava Axe, Magma Rift,
Pyroclasm, and Volcanic Axe are all straight burn cards. In fact, every card
initially available (except a single Act of Treason) that is not a creature is
a burn card. Suffice to say, your primary goal with this deck is a quick burn
to victory.

Quest for Pure Flame and Vicious Shadows are the only two unlockable cards
that aren't repeats of note. Quest for the Pure Flame gains a quest counter
every time you deal damage to an opponent. It can be sacrficed to cause all
sources of damage you control to deal double damage for one turn, so save it
up for a big burn if the game drags on and you have to rely on it.

Vicious Shadows deals damage to your opponent equal to the cards in their hand
whenever a creature dies. This triggers off both your and their creatures, so
if you block and cause both creatures to die, it triggers twice. The AI does
not tend to sit on cards, but if they are mana screwed you can hit them pretty
hard once you get this out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3.1.4 - Sorin Markov (Master of Shadows)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorin Markov, the Master of Shadows, hails from the plane of Innistrad. In this
expansion he wields a number of vampires from Zendikar and the Magic 2010 core
set. His deck is fast and has a very strong tribal theme.

Early game watch out for Blood Seekers. If Sorin gets a few of these out, the
damage you take from bringing your own creatures into play is going to grow
and grow. Pulse Tracker, likewise, will be problematic early game because he
does one damage to you every time he attacks. If you have a blocker, however,
Sorin will usually not attack you even if it is the best option because of the
AI.

Vampire Nighthawk is a very universal creature. It has flying, deathtouch, and
lifelink. This means it can block almost everything, it kills anything it
touches without first strike regardless of toughness, and you gain life every
time it does damage. Unfortunately, Sorin is using them against you. These
fliers, even more than the Blood Seekers, will ruin your strategies involving
creatures. The AI actually will use these fliers in a way that makes sense:
to block your biggest creatures to kill with deathtouch.

You need to be fast to overcome Sorin. He has an obscene amount of creature
removal and his vampires will flood you very quickly. Ears of Elves or Weapons
of the Warrior are probably the two best decks to deal with Sorin. Using
either of these you want to simply outflood Sorin. You could also go with both
Jace decks, Mind of Void or Thoughts of Wind, and just go for hard control.
This will mean a muc longer match, but if you are having trouble stemming off
the flood of vampires, you might try that path.

Section 3.2 - Old Deck Unlockables
===============================================================================
The original eight decks for Duels of the Planeswalkers received three new
cards each with the release of the second expansion. On the X-Box 360 version
you can begin unlocking these cards with the multiplayer update; that is, you

decks.

If you also have the first expansion, Duel the Dragon, then those three decks
that were added also received three new cards each. Again, you only need have
the multiplayer update to begin unlocking those cards.

For each of the cards listed below, a number appears in paranthesis next to
it. This number indicates how many wins with the deck you must earn before

Section 3.3 - Achievements / Trophies
===============================================================================
The second expansion to Duels of the Planeswalkers adds three achievements to
the X-Box 360 version and three trophies to the Playstation 3 version. Both
versions of the game have the same achievements/trophies.

Everything at Stake
-------------------
Silver Trophy / 20 Gamerscore
"Defeat Sorin Markov in the single-player campaign (Expansion 2)."

This achievement is your basic "beat the game" achievement. Defeat all eight
opponents in the Master of Shadows campaign to earn it. Alternately, if for
whatever reason you have already completed the campaign but the achievement
did not unlock, you only have to defeat Sorin Markov himself for it to unlock;
normally you would have to beat the other four opponents to unlock the fight
however.

Last One Standing
-----------------
Silver Trophy / 15 Gamerscore
"Win a 3- or 4-player Xbox LIVE / Playstation Network match."

This achievement can be earned by downloading the multiplayer expansion without
a full purchase. To earn it, simply win a match online on your console of
choice.

Overflowing Harvest
-------------------
Silver Trophy / 15 Gamerscore
"Put 8 lands onto the battlefield in one turn."

Ostensibly you could earn this with only the multiplayer component, but I am
not sure if it actually is possible. I have read online that some people have
unlocked this in a match, but the best way to do this is to load the fifth
challenge of the new challenges. From there, play Harrow and pick two forests.
Play your second Harrow, sacrifice the lands you tapped to pay for it, and
pick your third forest in the deck and another land. Sacrifice Khalni Heart
Expedition and put two more lands, doesn't matter what kind, into the field.
Now cast Summoner's Pact and pick Eternal Witness. Use the Elvish Piper's tap
ability and put Eternal Witness in play. When her ability activies, take a
Harrow back and cast it to get two more lands and your achievement.
