Let’s cut to the chase: if you love Magic the Gathering and the plane of Ravnica, you’re probably pretty damn interested in knowing how the city’s next five guilds play out in Gatecrash. While I’ve taken a stab at possible guild mechanics for the paper game, I’m very pleased to announce actual news.

Below you’ll find full, official deck lists (including unlocks) of the Boros and Simic decks for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013. While it’s not officially confirmed, you can expect it will likely arrive on November 7th (Xbox), in keeping with Major Nelson’s recent DLC announcement.

The Boros deck, Act of War, is a combat-focused pile with lots of efficient creatures, a handful of powerful removal spells, and more than enough instant combat tricks to make your opponent regret every blocking decision.

The Simic deck, Sky and Scale, offers a little more flexibility. There are a multitude of themes, including card draw, tempo advantage, and token generation, giving the Simic scientist in all of us a few viable options for deckbuilding.

Of course, there are still three other decks likely to make an appearance for Gruul, Dimir, and Orzhov, as well as promo card unlocks and a mysterious sixth reveal that’s rumored to be Duels’ first rainbow deck. I’ll certainly post info as soon as it’s available, as well as deck guides and strategy, in the near future. So stay tuned to Top Tier Tactics and enjoy the spoilers!
