MtG is fun, but CCGs are ultimately worthless (or utterly cost ineffective) as serious games.

Yeah, I played through all the free stuff. You can continue to play in open games or tournaments (with entry fees), but the starter (at least mine) isn't very competitive.

$5 for a campaign chapter, $4 for a booster, $85 for a booster box. Not a chance of me buying anything for it.

Also, Guardians of Graxia is a much better.

$85 bucks? Fuck that shit.

Very fun but the free stuff is very limited. If they had foresight they will follow League of Legends' business model and rake in cash from sale of skins created in 5 minutes. Uninstalled!

That doesn't surprise me at all.

I want a remake of the original MTG game from the mid-nineties. Running around a fantasy world doing quests for powerful cards was a lot of fun. This is just repeated dueling with no context.

Yes, I fucking loved that game. Still own all 3 CD's.

OK even with the shitty free deck, the single player missions are fun.

It's fucking awesome is what it is. It's heavily modded now with new challenge-modes and drafting!

And go play REAL magic with the Codex already!

Mtg: Tactics is terrible and built around trying to fleece you for money. Buy the Mtg game on steam instead. It is better in every category a game can be measured on.

If only you could build your own decks. It is however not too bad a MtG game.

It's terrible. It lacks 50% of what MtG is about; building decks. It's just random chance which cards you get, so the game leaves you with 20% of the game being in your hands; the way you play the cards.

At least MtG: Tactics has this.
