    This game is great!
    You get to play Magic without all the guesswork. By "guesswork" I mean not having to argue with your friends about what a certain cards abilities can and cannot do. No more friends giving you a bull crap story about how their card does something that it really should not be able to do.

    Worth 10 bones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Definately, I was shocked how much I've played it since I had it, easily near about 7 hours put into the game. for about £7 you can't complain.

    The game is a TON of fun.  Only thing that seems disappointing to me is that the single player campaign won't go on for longer.

    I can't make my own deck. UNSOLD.

    Also, if you are actually interested in the game (and the same goes for your friends), there shouldn't be any guesswork to tabletop Magic. Hell, if you or your friends can't be convinced, you can always crack open the internet and look up the official ruling (which I've had to do when dealing with the Lifelink mechanic).

    Yeah it's pretty sweet...made me remember that Magic: The Gathering existed (and also made me try to find my old cards...which I couldn't).  The only bad thing is the host can quit when you're about to own him. :(

    Yeah this game is fun. I've completed the White deck, Black Deck, Red Deck and Green and Black deck. Almost have the Blue one done. Maybe I'll share some pics and info on those cards sometime soon.

    P.S. Ohh and to let you guys know when you open a mixed deck up there is only 15 unlockable cards not 17.

    I'm actually okay with this. Considering how many pre-made decks the game has for $10 as opposed to what $10 would actually get for me with real cards (what is that like 4 boosters?) this game seems to have more value.

    Sure it'll get repetitive eventually but for now I'm just enjoying the make due with what you have mentality the game has with it's pre made decks.

    That is the only thing I hate about this game.  Other then that, I love it.

    It's great. I have had a lot more fun with it than I have ever had actually playing magic against real people.

    It's a GOOD thing that the decks are not customizable. That would just lead to everyone playing the "the best" 3 variations pretty quickly. For an online game which should have some longelivety LITTLE CUSTOMIZATION is always a good thing, it ends up making the game more diverse.

    Take a look at spectromancer, it does a great job of keeping to be interesting and it only has 5 houses whereby every house has 8 cards. All the other cards are shared. I still sunk easily 40 hours in Spectromancers multiplayer. And it does some things quite better than magic (speed of gameplay ie).
