Featuring five unique decks inspired by the Planeswalkers from the blockbuster digital game Duels of the Planeswalkers, these powerful 60-card decks are ready to play right out of the box complete with five rares, one of which is foil. Additionally, each deck comes with a 15-card Magic 2010 Core Set booster pack, allowing you to customize your deck and take total command of your game.

Munchkin Card Game (Revised Full-Color Edition)
The 19th printing of the Munchkin card game, which just shipped this week, has all the John Kovalic illustrations in full color. Reprints of the fantasy supplements for Munchkin that are scheduled throughout the rest of 2010 will also include full-color art starting with Munchkin 2: Unnatural Axe and Munchkin 3: Clerical Errors in June. New printings of all core Munchkin games, including Munchkin Cthulhu and Munchkin Booty will come with a custom six-sided Munchkin die. The rulesheets for the core sets have also been expanded to two pages to allow for larger type and more Kovalic illustrations, and a small number of cards from sets throughout the line have been revised. If you already have the game, all the revised rulesheets will be posted online, and this fall SJG will publish Go Up a Level, a supplement with replacement cards and transitional rules designed to make it easy for current players to keep on using the sets they own and still play the latest revised version of the game.
