Everyone complaining about this free to play game is a ♥♥♥♥♥ loser with no life.
This is a great video game version of Magic the Gathering with multiple card formats to play from. My only (and most other mtg fans as well) issue is that cards can be a pain to get for new players. They offer pretty decent starter decks but if you want to make your own real life deck 1:1 then you usually gotta grind for coins to buy packs THEN get wildcards of uncommon, rare, mythic, etc to actually get the cards you want. It isn't as bad as it sounds but takes some playing to do things without spending real money.

Its Tuesday morning.... The cars are driving by my house as i sit in my room and play Magic: The Gathering Arena. Things are slow today, no plans, or nothing. I woke up with the intention of having a day to myself for the past few days, but never got the chance. Fun Version for magic players n stuff thats online. Wish there could be more options for customization, but thats my personal preference. Otherwise. This game is splendid.
bad
Magic is a fun game, and this client is exceptional and much better than MTGO. I have had very few problems with the client itself. However, I am not a fan of the massive amount of Universes Beyond sets that have been introduced recently. Also, it is very grindy for new players to get competitive decks without spending quite a bit of money, and I think that the wildcard system should be reworked.
I'd rather play with my hands and paper cards.
