    Tactics adds layers of depth, but the cost of booster packs quickly makes a mockery of the "free-to-play" label. [April 2011, p.77]

    Magic: The Gathering – Tactics is a mixed bag. The basic gameplay is extremely fun and well designed. The graphics are vibrant and amusing whilst the sounds add to the game. The interface is well designed and easy to navigate. However, the fact that the game requires a good deal of money or a lot of time grinding to be competitive really hurts the game.

    Magic the Gathering Tactics is a very well-designed tactical game surrounded by a mediocre economy and bad supporting interface. The skeleton is sound, and if SOE improved the musculature and skin, MTGT could be the six million dollar game.

    Magic The Gathering Tactics offers a fresh and original take on the collectible card game. The new elements make the game both tactically challenging and very entertaining. But unfortunately the game is plagued by bugs, mismangement and a severe lack of communication from the developers, making it still an unfinished product.

    A nice combination of a tactics game and MtG. I like it a lot.

    The free to play part is short, yes, but you can login to freerealms.com and c    lonewarsadventures.com using your MtGT to get 598 in-game money that can be used to buy the campaigns. Those will net you 4 gold per day which will get you on your way towards tournaments that get refunded by the veteran players if you lose. So in the end you can get free boosters and play this game for free forever. It only takes a bit of patience and being friendly to other people in the game. And the game is well worth the $15 it costs to buy more campaigns and net 14 gold per day. Doing so, it only took me about a week to get a decent deck that gets results in the tournaments.… Expand

    Still a little buggy at times, but since releasing several months ago they've made solid improvements to the marketplace interface and gameplay. I've enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys tactics games and/or M:TG. To get the most out of it you'll probably want to at least pay for the starter campaigns and work your way through them- they're about $20 if you don't find a way to get them at a discounted price, but I'd say it's worth the money.… Expand

    This is hardly a free to play game. It's more like a demo with benefits. The first and only free 5 mission chapter took about 30 minutes to complete. Only one of the cards I was awarded for completing the chapter was even compatible with the color I chose. Multiplayer is near impossible to win due to people willing to pay for gold and booster packs to acquire more powerful spells. Because of this, the game very quickly loses its "free to play" replay value. I've also experiences some bugs, such as my deck of 40+ cards being registered as incomplete, and the icons displaying turn order not appearing in their bar. In spite of this, I think this game could have some great potential if it became a little more free-user friendly and a little smoother in the programming.… Expand

    The free to play part is shockingly short. Dishonest marketing where people will trap for spending huge amounts of money. And a HUGE pay to win factor is present. So don't trap for it people! But the game itself is fun if it was normally priced it will be a between 6 and 8.… Expand
