0.) Introduction
----------------------------------------
This FAQ was made just for the Challenges of Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the
Planeswalker (Which can be shortened to MtG: DotP from here on in).

I saw in the Board that a lot of people were asking about challenges here on
GameFAQs, I saw the Challenge FAQ in the MtG: DotP forum in PS3Trophies.org
(thanks to RappappaR for letting me use his guide), and I also saw that there
was no true Challenge guide for the PS3 as well as for the Expansion 3.
