Update: Wiz­ards has announced ‘Magic the Gath­er­ing — Tac­tics’ as a video game part­ner­ship with Sony Online, read more about Magic the Gath­er­ing — Tac­tics here.

Along with the ear­lier reported ‘From the Vault: Relics’ was the trade­mark reg­is­tra­tion for a prod­uct titled ‘Magic the Gath­er­ing- Tac­tics.’ We know noth­ing about the prod­uct but it leads to some inter­est­ing spec­u­la­tion. Here are some ideas brought up by users on MTGSalvation’s forum:

• frof­fen­hof­fer — “Im guess­ing Tac­tics will be some­what like Final Fan­tasy Tac­tics or a com­puter game that plays like D&D minis.”
• exalt­ed­god — “Tac­tics is what caught my atten­tion. Finally, maybe some PS3 love.”
• Odin — “Magic: The Gath­er­ing — Tac­tics sounds like a book or some kind of box set includ­ing a strat­egy book. It’s been a long time since Wiz­ards release some­thing like that.”

Our thoughts: The use of ‘tac­tics’ in the title and the suc­cess that is the ‘Duel of the Planeswalker’ Xbox game, it is our belief that this rep­re­sents a future pend­ing game that may uti­lize the cards in some sort of Minis-esque game, or be a series of sce­nar­ios for play­ers to work through deter­min­ing the cor­rect play.
