Magic: The Gathering Arena

very grindy , full of macro-transactions and if you play a mode that has reward , prepare to face the greasiest sweatlords with the most unfun decks taking as long as possible for their turns and interaction priority

I've won more games from people quitting than I've won and lost full games combined. Wizards should really implement a detriment when you concede. Even if it stopped players from searching for games for a short period. I swear I spend more time searching for a match sometimes than I actually do playing. Thank god this game is free to play because I would feel really cheated if I had spent money on this.

This game is so rigged. It's nothing but a cash grab that preys on those who love the game but also have a microtransaction addiction. You automatically know if you have a chance at winning or not from the first draw. You magically start winning when you spend actual money on something. This game sucks and they only want your money. Oh did I mention that they only want your money? Shame on WoC for making such a cash grab of a game. I'm never playing this or spending money on physical cards again.

It gives you both options: Not enough land or too much land! Feeling pretty spoiled by that. Do not worry about having an appropriate amount of land. The devs are looking into making sure that doesn't happen, anymore. Rest assured, by the end of 2026, MTG Arena will allow zero opening hands with needed lands. 60 lands in a 60 card deck? No problem! You simply will not receive an opening hand.

Full of Marvel and TMNT etc. slop, just random pop culture junk.

I played it a bit in the past when it was just MTG stuff. I log in and I'm seeing ninja turtles, avatar, marvel etc, it's just a mess of cash grab slop; there is no identity to the game anymore, I'm guessing they saw the success of their LOTR collab then just kept trying to recreate it to the point they let their greed spoil the game. In my opinion this company needs to run this IP through chemo and start fresh and keep MTG as MTG; no crossovers or collabs. Don't bother downloading. Wait for a new game without all the mess.

As someone new to the game, very helpful in learning the basics. Initial looks appear to be a grind to get packs or cards.
