super fun
First off this is got to be the worst game I’ve ever played. You don’t get any real good cards to start off with at all so you can just buy them. There is more paid to win in this than any game I’ve ever seen when you pick a computer opponent to play, it automatically will have the answer to whatever combination you’re gonna play so it’s gonna win 90% of the time went through the tutorial stuff that seemed fun first match I played it beat me within like three turns really that’s kind of stupid. Can I scan my cards in cause I have a set of Alpha a set of beta and a set of revised if I could just scan my cards and play with them I’m sure I would do way better, but this game is just garbage and you can only duel WTF you should be able to pay with at least 6
New pricing on wild cards is insanely bad deal. Insult to the players.
just don't
The moment you get to playing against real people, you are forced to use starter decks against decks consisting entirely of rare, mythic, and legendary cards. There appears to be NO balancing whatsoever to matchmaking, and playing your friends gains you nothing but bragging rights. It takes weeks to farm out ANY usable cards, crafting materials are hard to come by, and the game heavily leans to trying to get you to pay real money for unlocks. Big shocker there. 2/10 experience after weeks of play.
Long time player in the card shops, finally broke down and tried arena. Skip my response phase? Oh, I should report that as a bug....... Yeah the web form to report a bug auto loads the forum page when I attempt to fill it out. Fine, I'll just assume it was a one off and go back to playing..... AND of course it happens again, passing priority without my consent when I have a response lined up. THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN IN PERSON PLAY! NO ABILITY TO CALL JUDGE OR HAVE THE GAME EVENTS QUESTIONS IS JUST A LOUSY WAY TO RUN A GAME! Save your time and frustration and go play in person. Losing because of a badass opponent, a bad shuffle, or just bad playing is something I accept as a magic player. Losing because the 'Arena' software is glitchy and skips ♥♥♥♥ is NOT something I will tolerate.
the worst card game ive played so far ngl....totally not recommend it
Games horrible i wouldnt put more then 30 min into it. gets boring so fast, ignore the hours
Corporate cash grab, Funko Pop slop. They ruined the best TCG in the world for short term profit. Lying to and exploiting their player base along the way.
Very nice introduction to the game of Magic The Gathering, but be warned, it can get a bit pay to play if you want to grow your decks faster in game.
