James writes - "It’s that time of year where the annual release of Magic the Gathering’s video game series is upon us. Magic 2015 – Duels of the Planeswalkers aims to be the very best trading card based game in both the real world and the digital one. Currently number one amongst the physical world, can they be sure Magic 2015 DotP delivers on the digital front? Are the improvements, if there are any, worthy of purchasing the latest instalment?"
From the review: "Magic 2015 is like taking 2 steps forward and one step back. While true deck building has finally been added, the loss of other modes that have become staples of the series diminishes its overall impact. This is still a solid offering for fans of the classic trading card game. This is about as close to Magic as you can get without actually dealing out the cards."
Hunt bigger game on a bold new adventure with Magic 2015—Duels of the Planeswalkers! Command powerful creatures and wield devastating spells to defeat your opponents in this epic game of strategy.

The Garruk's Revenge expansion was released for Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers last week. The new additions ended up doing wonders for the game by adding some strong, fun-to-play-with cards while also making it a lot easier to acquire some of the strongest cards in the game that you would've had to pay for previously.
I've been debating a Magic 2015 on Xbox One purchase when it finally turns up. Have never played one before though so not sure if I'll like it or not.
Can it be played when I want a '5 minute relaxing' game? Or do the matches go on for a while?
