Catch “Duels of the Youtubers”, streamed live this Friday

Tournament to celebrate the launch of Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013

To celebrate the launch of Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, Wizards of the Coast have setup a small tournament, selecting six YouTube frequenters to battle it out for the privilege of being crowned as the Ultimate Planeswalkers player.

YouTubers Tobuscus, Black Nerd Comedy, Katers17, OMFGCATA, Panser and HuskyStarcraft will all be involved. Fans of Magic can head to the game’s official Facebook Page to find out more about these challengers, thanks to the personal vlogs already available.

The event kicks off on Friday 12th of October at 5PM PT (so that’s 1PM BST?), and you can catch it live at http://www.twitch.tv/magic2013.

We’ve also got two Steam codes for Magic and its expansion to give away, and we’ll be doing so on Twitter at some point today. Stay tuned @MyJoystick for more details.

Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 is available now on PSN, XBLA and Steam. Check out Phil’s review here!
