   This is a fun free-to play game. I get that there's micro-transection to get cards pretty fast. But crafting makes it easier to get the cardsThis is a fun free-to play game. I get that there's micro-transection to get cards pretty fast. But crafting makes it easier to get the cards pretty fast so you won't feel forced to just buy, atleast it wasn't for me.
   
   Plus although I don't like micro-transection all that much I feel like in a card game it's easier to handle for me, cause it's better than buying new sequel to a card game and start collecting all over again, right? And sure you can get cards in real life instead but keep in mind there are no craft in real life so getting those deck in real life will be expansive plus not everyone has many friends to play with either.
   
   I saw some of the negative reviews and those are what I think about them. Also let me say I would like this game even more if it didn't had micro toward cards, but I still put it high up cause crafting won't make your hard work feel like a waste for pay to win players cause crafting is easy to begin with, and it's still better than buying new sequels everytime that's not free.
   
   And maybe I'm just lucky but I didn't found much bugs either. I do have a bit of a control problem whenever it asks me to discard a card but that's for Mobile, PC version is ok.
   
   That being said those negative reviews are old so maybe it was correct for some of them like the bugs at one point in the past but it certainly isn't like that for me now though. I wouldn't called it 10 but just putting it 10 here to make up for all those past negative atleast a tiny bit.… Expand

   Es magic, así que por supuesto que es pay to win, ese no es el mayor problema entre los muchos que tiene, como por ejemplo el algoritmo propioEs magic, así que por supuesto que es pay to win, ese no es el mayor problema entre los muchos que tiene, como por ejemplo el algoritmo propio para las manos iniciales en lugar de simplemente un robo aleatorio y mas justo, si empiezas a subir a platino y a diamante solo jugaras contra la misma baraja una y otra y otra vez, las cartas que no deberían ni existir de lo rotas que están las aguantan 4 meses para vender sobres antes de banearlas provocando que esos meses tengas que aguantar a la misma baraja en tooooodas las partidas... en general el mayor problema que tiene es que magic tiene un power creep tan grande y este juego tiene formatos tan limitados que no hay variedad para que resulte minimamente divertido pese a que el juego esta relativamente bien optimizado y tiene pocos bugs que se agradece.… Expand

   On the mobile version: you can play only on a bluestacks emulator for a PC with a core i9 geforce2080super and 64gb of RAM. It won't save youOn the mobile version: you can play only on a bluestacks emulator for a PC with a core i9 geforce2080super and 64gb of RAM. It won't save you from freezing and crashes, but you can at least read the text on the cards.
   
   On the game itself: I think most people in the world have installed this game out of nostalgia. I've played Magic irl since the 7th edition and the early 00s, participated in small tournaments, and have never seen such matches in real life. 7 lands in a row? You are welcome! Do you or another player have perfect, "Magically" cards come out to counter everything that comes out of the opponent? You are welcome! All cards that can be useful against the opponent's deck do not come out at all after 7 moves, but only those that are completely useless come out? You are welcome! 1 land, and all the other most expensive cards from your deck in terms of mana cost after 3 mulligans? You are welcome! If you go second, you lose in almost 90% of such matches. You won too many times in a row and you start getting thrown against those types of decks that are most effective against you in the ratio of 2 such matches against 1 of your victory in addition, you always go second, without exceptions. And how do you like that, the enemy clearly does not know how to play and is constantly making mistakes, despite the fact that with his cards it was already possible to finish the whole game a long time ago if done wisely, and now he already has 8 cards or 1 life left and then the game just stops pretending that she initially played against you, you have one useless trifle or only lands in general, you scry 3 cards 3 times in a row, each time pull one and shuffle the deck and there are only lands again and again! And these are several moves in a row! And there are 12 out of 30 cards left that could have won you a game! This is even impossible according to the theory of probability! And like the icing on the cake - you finally draw the card you want, because you already pulled out all the lands)) and the game can no longer not give you them, but this turn you lose 100% because your opponent already has 10 of the most expensive and powerful creatures, either a full hand of canceling or directly damaging you instant spells! In this case, the enemy draws 4 identical cards in a row if it helps him without scrying.
   
   Summing up, this game plays by itself, and it itself determines who will win and who will lose even before the start of the match. I want to assure all those who got acquainted with Magic The Gathering thanks to this garbage that this has nothing to do with a real card game. It's a pity, because the idea was great, to play without leaving your home and going to your local club, without the need to look for other players in real life, especially if you live in a province and there are 20 people like you in the whole city, and you all know each other for a long time as flaky, especially in terms of the tactics of the game. But the implementation, alas, is not that unsuccessful, it simply does not exist.
   
   PS. About donation and Pay-to-Win, it is clearly has it place, but it is not that much useful, and it works very little. $50 for pre-ordering the new set of boosters gave me a decrease in the number of obviously "not my" matches for less than a week, then everything returned to "normal". So I do not advise you to download and install IT, and even more so to support it with your penny. The game does not develop and fix in any way from Beta. Technically it still manages to slow down on top computers and mobile phones, has an animation gliches, slow matchmaking connections and occasion crashes. In general it doesn’t solve it's problems about the balance and the problem of forcibly won and lost matches.… Expand

Arena is in no way fun - it's grindy and becomes old very fast. You spend playing the same decks over and over again. The shuffler is broken. Even though the game is in beta and broken in many aspects, the company "updates" the game with cosmetics which give a lot of players motion sickness. The cosmetics cost a fortune, well above industry's standards and with poor quality. Developers fail to acknowledge mistakes. The game should fall under gambling laws due to it's addictive nature where players are psychologically pressured to pay money to play better, more competitive cards. If you want a good MTG experience then stay away from this garbage.… Expand
