For a long time it was a fun game with a lot of little flaws; great for scratching that itch to play MtG when I hadn't for about 10 years. The one thing that finally made me quit was the introduction of daily quests with very specific requirements that only work in PvP. Even with a daily quest refresh, this often ends up requiring you to use decks in PvP that are substandard either because they don't fit the meta or you don't have enough cards unlocked to build them.

So, in short, the best way to unlock cards now often depends on already having cards unlocked. In PvP.

I understand this was probably an effort to get people to buy boosters. The game does need to make money or it gets shut down, of course. And while there are things I would pay for, boosters are not one of them. I started playing Duels [i]specifically to get away from having to pay for boosters[/i]. If Stainless wanted to get money from me there are some things they could charge for:
[list][*]Access to older blocks (i.e. ~$5-10 for a block that comes with a few boosters, then you have to unlock the rest with earned or purchased coins)
[*]Access to alternate game modes like Sealed (where you don't keep the cards), Vanguard, Commander, etc. [/list]

At any rate, it's still a better game than Hearthstone.

Loved the game. It teaches Magic as you go, preparing you for more hardcore-ish paper Magic. Way better that Hearthstone. Occasional bug here and there, but didn't manage to spoil the game.

Pretty small community, that's a shame. But i hope that problem will resolve.

Resolve, he-he.

I'm an avid trading card and board game/tabletop game enthusiast. I've been playing competitive yugioh since gx era.
I've always told myself I would start playing MTG. I never got the chance to go out and buy cards. (I'm lazy and don't often step out of my boundaries).
Then I found this.
I like MTG.
I still like yugioh a bit better because it's a lot more complex and diverse. I can't compare them because they are played completely differently. Also. There are a lot of MTG clones on steam.

Definitely the best alternative if you want to play Magic online.
The only downside to it, is that due to the limited staff members the cards (and maybe features?) are limited to a certain extent (though quite a lot!).
Nevertheless, great game.

I recently started getting back into magic after being inactive for around 15 years. However, other than standard tournaments, I don't have many opportunities to play against other players, so I figured I needed an online version of magic to practice. Magic duels is OK to get back into the mechanics and see what other people play, but other than that, it's a HUGE disappointment:

- Insane grind. buying boosters as a poor kid in the 90ies (p2w in its pure form) was more fun.

- Stupid deck restrictions: rares 2x, uncommons 3x (to keep serious players away or p2w low?)

- Strange format: not pure standard, balance seems off ( banned smuggler's copter still being played, too many cheap removal spells...)

- Terrible connectivity: connection losses all the time, dropped players get replaced by AI and most of the time, you have to beat the AI in order to not receive a loss, alt+tab is all it takes to get disconnected, possibly lots of room for exploits. Lags are so hard that often you can't hit the stop button to react to your opponent, which defeats the whole purpose of playing magic.

- No possibility to interact with other players: no chat, no trade, nothing. Which might be wise, because...

- The duels community equals the bottom of the magic community. You won't find many good matches, real magic fans are probablly somewhere else to be found. Often enough, playing a removal spell is all that it takes for your opponent to pull the plug and let the AI take over.... which surprisingly often leads to the AI coming back hard and winning a lost match... and then there are these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just waiting everytime as long as the timer allows (playing a land after waiting for 1 minute) to make YOU unpatient and disconnect, giving them a default win.

- Always playing against the same decks. Right now: red burn, topters, green ramp, sphinx tutelage. boring.

- The campaigns are a joke. The way they try to tell stories is just unworthy of the magic universe. It's nothing but still images and written dialouge, combined with a muted 90ies-style render-cutscene at the end of each campaign. And the stories are just boring. It rather ruins the unvierse for me...

- Presentation is rudimentary at best. Graphics are just the cards, a boring table, generic FX like fireballs and lightnings... even tablets could do better. There is only 1 music track playing throughout the whole game and it will drive you insane after the 2nd loop.

I honestly can't find a reason to play this other than getting a very blury first impression of what magic the gathering is and that it's probably best to stay away from it lol. Do yourself a favor and play real magic or Xmage. I honestly can't understand the people giving this a thumps up. Probably the kind of people going to McDonalds when they're hungry and liking every ♥♥♥♥ on facebook...

I like this game alot it's really fun to play with friends, theres no real pay walls I have run into, and if you play casually then yoou can have alot of fun. I am fairly new to this game and I feel comfortable, but I can tell you can wreck other people if you know how to play this game really well. Easy to learn, fun with friends, very addictive, and it's free hard to ge much better than that.

由于玩实体卡的成本太高，可是抑制不住牌瘾，所以尝试了下老威的新版教程，结果发现内容远超我的预期。
卡组虽然不是特别齐全，但是也算相对比较丰富,T2的主流环境基本都全了，UI界面跟老版本的老威教材比简直是云泥之别。
各种常见异能及规则解释的很清楚，让萌新也可以快速入门。
尤其是给制作精良的故事部分点个赞，非但没有收费，反而完成故事模式奖励了额外的游戏内消费代币，让萌新可以更细致的了解万智牌的世界背景。虽然由于削减了卡池强度，让游戏更加适合新手玩家，但是加入了双头搓麻将模式，游戏的趣味性可以说并没有受到太多影响。抽卡系统设定的是不会抽到重复的卡，也就是说只要努力，早晚是会全卡的，在抽卡上的限制比炉石少得多，但是对付费玩家来说也失去了开包的乐趣。整体而言非常是适合上年纪不愿意逛牌店的老玩家跟基友对战以及对炉石之父万智牌感兴趣的萌新学习体验。
PS：内购的东西虽然很多，但是非常便宜，全卡全闪全卡背只需要＄700，线下卖掉了一张U版绿玛珂分分钟过来开了全卡

It is too buggy to be played. You can't even use the cards' activated abilities. In any given match, for no reason they are not selectable. This makes winning the game almost impossible and you have to restart and hope bugs don't find you before you win. Horrible game.

Magic The Gathering is an easy game to learn and a very difficult game to master no matter what version you play (original physical collectable card game or any digital rendition that has been made over the years).

MTG Duels is a free to play game, and even if you stick to playing just the story mode and completing the challenges that the current 7 stories which complement the 7 decks available in the game, it will offer you a good few hours of enjoyable gameplay.

To be honest it offered just as much enjoyment and gameplay as some of the other MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers games that you have to pay for on Steam.

If you are new to MTG then this is a great way to learn the game and get to grips with the mechanics of the game, and if you are like me and have played MTG on and off for over 18 years, it was a great way to get back up to speed with some of the new abilities introduced in newer decks. The game offers Skill Quests whenever you encounter a card with a new ability and guides you through a simple scenario where you get to see how that ability works.

By playing through the story modes and completing the Skill Quests you will accumulate a reasonable number of in game coins that can be used to purchase booster packs of cards for you to build your own decks from. You can then venture in to playing against friends or matched opponents online, solo battles against AI, and two headed giant duels. This is where the game does encounter some issues. Playing solo against the AI is fine and you can earn more coins depending on the difficulty level of the AI player. The online matched duels unfortunately has issues. The matching is very poor and novice/new players with only a few cards/boosters and relatively weak decks frequently get matched against players that have either played for a considerable time and earnt a significant amount of coins, or bought coins in game and then spent them on lots of boosters and built fast, powerful decks.

Overall if you take the game at face value and view it as a free to play game that will offer several hours of enjoyable gameplay working through the story mode without having to spend a single penny then it’s well worth installing. If you are looking for a challenging game that rewards you for spending a considerable amount of money to be able to purchase new booster packs and build powerful decks with a collection of virtual, digital cards then you may be better looking at playing MTG Online. For me, if I am spending my money on collecting cards then I would much sooner buy the real things, sit around a table with my friends and play a real game of MTG.

[b]Pros:[/b][list]
[*]Free to play
[*]Great tutorials/Skill Quests that help you learn the game and advanced abilities
[*]Enjoyable story mode
[/list]
[b]Cons:[/b][list]
[*]UI could be better
[*]Online “matched” game very poor at finding a matched player
[*]Some bugs still exist in the game (but sure they will gradually get ironed out with future updates)

This is a very good MTG training simulator if you are new to the game. It does an excellent job introducing you to each new game mechanic as you first encounter them, by essentially pausing the game and launching a 'skill quest' that demonstrates the new mechanic to you in a quick puzzle before dropping you back into your match. This game is also a great way to familiarize yourself with many of the cards as well as immerse yourself in the artwork and lore of the Magic universe (multiverse?).

I cannot complain about this game feeling strongly "pay to win", as I feel this is very well in line with my opinion of this game as a MTG training simulator. Let's be honest, the actual physical card game is ALSO very much pay to win so why should you expect anything different here? The players willing to drop tons of real money for more and better cards will always have the upper hand, whether we are talking about physical cards or an online game. My suggestion is if you DO get hooked and want to invest some money in this game, go buy some of the REAL cards instead. If you get a Chandra, Torch of Defiance in a booster pack, that's worth $20 to you. Try selling that Chandra, Torch of Defiance you unlocked on Magic Duels instead. I do however very much appreciate that this game is free to play, and you can unlock more cards by just playing, albeit in an arduous and painstakingly slow manner.

While a great tool to learn the game, Magic Duels definitely has some room for improvements in other areas. For starters the deckbuilder interface is less than great. The 'Deck Wizard' deck building assistant builds absolutely trash decks, maybe it works better when you have more cards in your library for it to choose from but this would seem counterintuitive because by the time you have that many cards you probably won't be using the Deck Wizard anyway and would be building your custom decks from scratch. It would be nice to have the ability to trade cards with other players too, but seeing as there isn't even a basic chat function in this game at all right now, I don't really see that happening. It would be nice if they fostered more of a player community around online play but it's clear their focus is still on the physical cards.

There are a few really dumb programming or AI problems with this game that make it hard to play sometimes. The most obvious problem I have encountered, frequently, is this game doesn't know how to shuffle a damn deck of cards. SO many times I will go ten rounds and draw nothing BUT lands or NO lands whatsoever, with a deck that is 30% mana. This has happened enough times in a row now to represent a serious statistical anomaly. Something else frustrating is the timer between phases in a turn. Sometimes you want to play an interrupt or use an ability on an opponent's turn before or during a particular phase, and this can be difficult to do because if your opponent does not have a valid card or move during a phase, it will skip the timer and move on to the opponent's next phase without giving you time to react.

I can recommend this game as a good way to get into MTG, but would still suggest buying some actual cards and finding your local official Friday Night Magic venue over dropping any money to play Magic Duels online.

It is always so refreshing to play against a bot, not getting a single bloody land card for literally 10 rounds (my dead great grandmother can shuffle better than your idiotic system aparently). And of course always SUPER fun when you play against bots that have EXACTLY the cards they need to counter yours, just pure coincidence of course. Then of course if you want to play against other players you will lose instantly cos they got the super boost decks that blow your mind out. So when you are fairly new you either got the chance of playing against other players that have decks that wipe you out in the first round, or you got cheating bots, where you dont get a single land card ever. Oh no wait, of course you could always PAY to get more and better cards. So all in all just another money milking machine. Good Job.

horsecrap/10 is my rating for this game.

Si te gusta Magic descargatelo. Cada vez que sacan una expansion en la vida real la aplican al juego, por lo que cada vez tiene mas y mas contenido. Ahora mismo es mas amplio que Standard de Magic.
Es facil y intuitivo, y tiene muchos tutoriales, por lo que es buena forma de aprender a jugar.

Lo bueno:
-Muchas cartas, y te puedes hacer el mazo como quieras.
-Si siguen sumando contenido sera como jugar a Frontier pero gratis.
-Es realmente facil comprar 2-3 sobres al dia, con 6 cartas y una de ellas rara o mitica. Consigues cartas buenas facilmente.
-Con la ultima actualizacion se pueden comprar fundas y tierras mejores.
-Puedes jugar 2vs.2 y es realmente divertido.

Lo malo:
-Poca gente jugando. A la hora de jugar partidas normales no es un problema, encuentra bastante facil partida, pero tarda mucho en encontrar 2vs2.
-Es obligatorio jugar rankeds contra personas. Deberian meter un modo que no altere tu nivel en ranked para probar mazos.
-El tiempo para parar el reloj y jugar cartas es realmente corto.
-Debido a que hay poca gente jugando a veces siendo rango 4-5 te toca contra gente de hasta rango 13 con mazos mejores.

8/10, merece la pena. Bastante.

*El juego ya no lo actualizan o sea que solo esperad a Magic Arena, sera parecido o mejor.

Cercherò di essere più oggettivo possibile con questa recensione.

PRO:

- è Magic! Il gioco di carte fantasy più famoso del mondo. Punto!

- è gratuito. Ovviamente, come va di moda ora, se si desiderano certi contenuti (sfondi alternativi per le carte, avatar dei personaggi) bisogna mettere mano al portafogli, ma niente che non si possa comprare con la valuta in-game (che si guadagna semplicemtne giocando e vincendo gli incontri).

- grandissima quantità di carte, sono veramente tante, di tutte le espansioni; ciò permette una completa personalizzazione del deck a seconda dei propri gusti e stili di gioco.

- notevole varietà di carte, ce ne sono di tutti i tipi e con tantissime abilità nuove (ad es. l'abilità Rivolta o i Veicoli, da usare come creature)

- Campagne singleplayer che permettono ai novizi o chi è fuori dal giro di magic da un po' di imparare le basi del gioco e/o riprenderci su la mano.

- Possibilità di duellare da soli contro l'IA, in 1v1 PvP oppure in Two Headed Giants (2v2).

- aggiornamenti più o meno costanti per correggere bug & C.

- è Magic! Ah, l'avevo già scritto...

CONTRO:

- il grinding delle monete per acquistare i contenuti (buste di carte soprattutto) è lunghissimo (30 monete ad incontro solo se si vince, altrimenti nada) e bisogna perderci dietro un sacco di tempo e questo potrebbe portare a mettere mano al portafoglio più facilmente per i giocatori con poca pazienza...ergo approccio Pay to Win

- pessima community...giocatori che abbandonano il match se pescano due carte di fila che non gli piacciono o fanno due mulligan poco interessanti; giocatori che utilizzano tutto il tempo a disposizione per giocare una mano in modo da spazientire gli avversari e portarli ad abbandonare la partita (che gusto ci trovino boh!!!!); altri che abbandonano se tu fai una giocata che a loro non piace.
Insomma non i migliori avversari e nemmeno i migliori compagni di squadra.

- regolamentazione dei mazzi inesistente; è possibile trovre composti solo da Planeswalker, solo da Carte Leggendarie, senza creature (mazzi colpo, illegali nei tornei ufficiali); in sostanza si trovano le peggiori lamerate che si possano imaginare.

- in multiplayer si incontrano e ci si scontra sempre con/contro gli stessi mazzi, quindi poca varietà di strategia e si è costretti ad utilizzare deck apposta per counterare i mazzi che si incontrano e non i deck che ci piace utilizzare.
________________

Se siete appassionati di Magic come me è un gioco che consiglio vivamente, perchè permette una profonda immersione nel mondo di queste carte, ma armatevi un'ottima dose di pazienza.

Ich bin echt traurig, dass ich über dieses Spiel einen negativen Review abgeben muss. Eigentlich ist es ein sehr schönes Spiel, denn es hat viele Vorteile: Es ist kostenlos und verspricht jedem Fan oder Neuling Magic zu spielen. Und das ohne, wie im realen Kartenspiel, große Mengen von Geld und Zeit zu investieren, um mithalten zu können. Man muss für keine einzige Karte echtes Geld ausgeben, auch die Updates der neuen Editionen waren bisher immer umsonst und ich schätze, dass sich das auch nicht ändern wird. Es gibt eine ingame Währung, welche man sich mithilfe der Story oder Siegen in Online Partien verdient. Mit diesen Münzen kann man dann seinen Kartenpool vergrößern oder auch viele zusätzliche Inhalte Freischalten, wie neue Profilbilder für die Decks, diverse Hüllentypen, etc.. Allerdings kann man sich diese Münzen auch für echtes Geld kaufen. Zum Kartenpool: Es wurden (seit Spielstart) aus jeder Edition Karten aus dem echten Magic ausgesucht, welche einem zur Verfügung stehen um seine eigenen Ideen umzusetzen und die neuen Mechanismen auszuprobieren. Jede Sagenhafte kann einmal pro Deck gespielt werden, jede Seltene Zweimal, die Nicht so Häufigen dreimal und die Häufigen jeweils viermal. Das soll bei dem verkleineten Kartenpool dafür sorgen, dass es ausgegliche Decks gibt, welche nicht ausschließlich auf den besten Karten und größtem Kartenpool beruhen. Und dafür sorgen, dass auch neue Spieler noch eine Chance haben. Ein großer Pluspunkt im Vergleich zu den kostenpflichtigen Videospielen von Magic ist, dass es in Duels Planeswalker gibt! Das macht das Spiel deutlich interessanter! Der größte Pluspunkt von Magic Duels ist meiner Meinung nach aber die allzeits aktive, große Spielergemeinschaft. Man kann zu jeder Tageszeit online gegen andere Spieler spielen, immer ist jemand da. Auch nach Ablauf einer Edition wird weitergespielt, im Gegensatz zu den vorherigen Spielen, in welchen nach und nach die Spieler abhanden kamen. Mittlerweile kann man aber auch gezielt mit seinen Freunden spielen. Zusätzlich gibt es noch ein Ranking während jeder Edition, bei welchem Mann pro Sieg ein Level plus und pro Niederlage Abzug erhält. Das hat neben der Motivation hoch aufzusteigen, noch den Zweck, dass Unerfahrenere Spieler, oder Solche mit weingen Karten, nicht gleich auf die Großen mit den vielen Karten und der Erfahrung treffen. Auch die Bugs halten sich in Grenzen. Manchmal wird das Spiel dadurch gestört oder es stürzt gleich ganz ab, aber im großen und ganzen finde ich, dass sich das im Rahmen hält. und schließlich ist es ja kostenlos! (Allerdings haben da andere Spieler schlimmeres erlebt, also kann ich auch nur von einem glücklichen Fall reden)

An sich einüberzeugendes Konzept. Doch leider gibt es auch eine Schattenseite bei Magic Duels: Der Vorteil, Magic nebenher zu spielen, wird mit jeder neuen Edition geringer. Es wird immer mehr wie das reale Magic. Es kommen logischerweise immer mehr neue, zu starke Karten raus. Damit muss man immer aktiv mitspielen, damit man kartentechnisch auf dem neusten Stand ist, sonst wird man einfach zermalmt. Zwar kann man jede Sagenhafte und Seltene nur ein-, bzw, zweimal im Deck haben, aber das ist irrelevant, wenn das Deck nur noch aus solchen Karten besteht. Also sammelt man schön fleißig mit oder überlebt die höheren Levels nicht. Allerdings fängt das leider nicht erst auf den hohen Levels an. Dadurch, dass man sich Booster auch mit Echtgeld kaufen kann finden man auch auch niedrigen leveln viele "gekaufte" superdecks welche nur aus den besten Karten bestehn und denjenigen, welche sich ohne Echtgeld die Karten erspielen wollen das Leben schwer machen. Diese Superdecks verunstalten leider auch die coolste Klasse Karten, welche ja erst in Magic Dues eingeführt wurde: Planeswalker. Das sind meistens einfach die besten Karten und mittlerweile spielt man mindestens immer gegen 1-2 pro Deck, es können aber auch 5-6 sein. Und das raubt dem ganzen den Witz. Außerdem gibt es sehr wenig Innovation was die Deckbildung anbelangt. Neben diesen Superdecks werden nur die neuen, mehr oder minder durch die Kartenauswahl vorgegeben, Mechaniken gespielt. Abwechslung gibt es allso wenig. Meistens kann man schon in der ersten Runde anhand des Landes feststellen, was der Gegner für ein Deck spielt. Ein weiterer Malus ist, dass es keinerlei Chatmöglichkeit gibt. Man kann nicht mit seinen Gegner schreiben, was echt schade ist! Auch in dem 2vs2 Format kann man sich mit seinem Verbündeten nicht absprechen, sofern man sich nicht kennt. Dabei wäre das manchal echt nötig um Missverständnisse oder Fehler zu vermeiden. Ich muss ganz ehrlich gestehn, dass ich bisher aber immer noch finde, dass Magic Duels ohne den nächsten Punkt ein super Spiel ist! Es ist immerhin kostenlos und bietet enorm viel. Und man könnte immer noch genügend schöne Partien spielen, in denen eine innovative Deckidee gewinnt und an welchen man sich erfreuen könnte. Aber: Der Zufallsgenerator von Magic Duels ist einfach schlecht! Es ist immer dasselbe Muster: Entweder man zieht von Anfang an kein Mana und verliert deshalb. Oder man zieht nur Mana und verliert. Oder aber man spielt eine spannende Partie und ist im late game angekommen. Es herrscht Gleichstand und beide haben keine Handkarten. Und man selbst zieht nur mana während der Gegner die Guten Karten nachzieht, die einen dann fertig machen. Es scheint in diesem Spiel zwei Arten von Spielern zu geben, jene mit Glück während der Partie und jene mit Pech. Es gibt selten faire Matche. Leider musste ich innerhalb von mehr als 200 Spielstunden beobachten, wie ich hauptsächlich aufgrund von Manaproblemen besiegt werde, oder aber wenn ich ausnahmsweise mal Glück habe, gegen einen Gegner spiele, der in der gesamten Partie nicht mehr als zwei länder ausgespielt hat. Das raubt echt den ganzen Spielspaß und ist unglaublich frustrierend!

The animation for this game looks cool, but just makes the game to finicky to play. When a creature has flying, it hovers up and down. I originally thought this was cool, but I realized that it made activated abilities on auras attached to this creature impossible to access. Matchmaking can take as long as 1 hour, and the game is filled with glitches and hackers. Half the time, it crashes. If you want to learn and play this game, I strongly recommend play the real, paper game. It is more rewarding, you make more friends, and heck, the booster packs even come with 15 cards (in Magic Duels they come with 6).

Duels was once a very fun game for the average player. However, as more cards have been released pay to win has become the standard in the meta. Synergy used to mean something, but now people just ram the best rares into 2 or 3 colors and curb stomp anyone who hasn't unlocked/payed for the rare cards.

Bon, mon point de vue sera forcément un peu subjectif, vu que j'ai joué à d'excellents jeux de cartes gratuits (Eternal, Star Crusade) avant de tester celui-ci.

En deux mots : c'est très médiocre. Bon ok, ça en fait trois. Le jeu est beaucoup trop lent et truffé de bugs, les graphismes arrachent les yeux, le board peut être très vite illisible pour peu qu'on joue en 2v2 ou des parties contrôles très longues, l'IA est nulle (par exemple, faire défausser des cartes à son partenaire en 2v2, wtf ?), les scénarii sont clairement écrits par des kévins et le mode histoire est beaucoup trop frustrant, où l'IA a tendance à topdecker à chaque tour de manière complètement absurde.

Seul bon point, le mode 2v2, troll à deux têtes pour les nostalgiques du jeu de cartes sur table, qui est bien sympathique.

Bref, si vous cherchez un TCG gratuit, à moins que vous soyez un pur aficionado de Magic et de WotC, passez votre chemin. Il y a de bien meilleurs TCG gratuits sur le marché (voir ceux que j'ai mentionné plus haut).

I really really want to like this game and give it a solid review. sadly i can not. first off it is a grind like no other, you have to invest far too much time to get booster packs. this is a video game not a job. second there are no protections set up so that new players have a fighting chance at getting into the game. elite players set up stacked decks and keep their rank low just to sit and stomp out players that have not either spent tons of money or toooooons of hours grinding for the meager rewards for winning. this game is nothing more than a place for nerd bullies to finally sucker punch anyone and everyone they encounter. the basic format is grind grind grind (or break out the wallet) till you finally have the cards to build the same small handful of decks the elites use then keep your rank low so you dont play other elites getting inevitibaly frustrated by constantly seeing the same dull decks over and over. to this day i do not know why i play still other than my general love for mtg and the lack of real life people to play with. this is a very poor representation of the game in general and a terrible way to introduce new players. these are all things that harm the general enjoyment. on the technical side its so damn buggy that a nuclear can of raid would not even start to reduce the level of bugs. on a positive note there are very few cheaters and no chat so you dont have to hear the toxic chants of noob, ♥♥♥ your mom or any other pubesent nonsense, so there is that going for it. if you are looking to kill a few min here and there this game is ok. if you wanna play magic and have fun....buy some cards and beg your friends to give playing in real life a chance.

The game is great, the app is poor

- The animation is pretty time consuming. Even if you turn off all possible animations, there are still some animations left which are really really slow. That is pretty exhausting if you play the whole evening.

- It is still pay to win. The story mode gives you the illusion, that there is a possibility to earn enough good cards to create a good deck, but its still an illusion. Even if you spend some money, it will not be enough. You have to spend a lot or your money is wasted.

- A booster has only 6 cards for a real price of 1.79€. Thats pretty expensive for a few virtual cards in comparison to a real card booster. The only advantage is, that you cant get cards double. Because of this, it is best to focus on one edition to get at least all good cards from one edition (if you spend tons of money).

-The battle interface is poorly designed. If the developers would have spent half the time they took for animations to create a good battle interface, the gameplay experience would be much better

-You even have to buy your Avatar from a limited selection. There is no possibility to personalize without paying (except you pay the little coins you get from story mode, but then it is guaranteed that you will loose fights without spending money for boosters)

+ It is still magic. The rules are implemented well and the cards look good

打完了起源的战役模式，我觉得有必要说点什么了..万智牌作为集换式卡牌的鼻祖已经有20多年历史了。本人也算是曾经入过坑虽然玩的时间不久..在游戏机制和游戏平衡性上自然是无可挑剔，但是这个游戏的战役也就是故事模式给我的感觉却不是那么好..有的关卡过于简单而有的却过难.印象最深刻的是起源倒数第二关，你使用的是慢速卡组对手使用的是快攻，而且ai一手的解牌...[spoiler]（顺便一提ai的起手好像只有固定那么几种，足以说明ai并不是随机发牌）[/spoiler]几乎就是一套完全针对你的卡组，我过了足足10多次才靠着一点运气过关.[spoiler]感觉就像otk德打海盗奇迹贼。设计这个关卡的设计师绝对有虐待倾向[/spoiler]然后我美滋滋的前往最后一关...然后发现最后一关居然是整个战役里最简单的那几个之一！整个战役有一种生拉硬凑的感觉，没有层次感，相比炉石的冒险模式确实差了不少。起源战役绝对是这款游戏的减分项。不过没关系，万智牌最有趣的绝对不是战役，而是和对手进行比赛！在这方面万智是绝对不输炉石的！当然这只是目前我对起源战役的看法，打完其他战役如果有不同的看法我会再发出来。有不同意见也请指出。。[spoiler]还有说好打完战役送的扩展包呢！！[/spoiler]

Modo historia para entrar en calor muy chulo y más que suficiente para entender la experiencia Magic digital. muy completo para ser gratis. Luego, entras a competir contra otros jugadores online, tienes libertad para componer tus mazos y cuando te pasas el juego individual te dan suficiente oro como para comprar algunos sobres de cartas, que se te quedan escasos y te pican a gastarte dinero real para obtener más. De momento, mi nostalgia me impide traicionar la versión tradicional de mesa. Si volviera a gastar en Magic, seguiría completando mi colección física. ;)

Eso si, en esta versión digital encontrar con quien jugar a cualquier hora nunca fue tan fácil. Una lástima que las cartas online no sean intercambiables.

Recomendado para todos y si nunca has jugado Magic, recomendadísimo para entender el juego.

Para todos los amantes de MCTG Es increiblemente genial el poder disfrutar de este grandisimo juego.
Tienes la opcion de poder jugar vs la IA o vs oponentes igualados.
Puedes sacar oro de muchas maneras.
Puedes entrar a la biblioteca y simplemente perderte en la literatura que te ofrecen las cartas.
Cuenta con una increible banda sonora.
Para quienes se van iniciando y no tienen la oportunidad de jugar en manera fisica, cuenta con un sin fin de tutoriales y ejemplos llamados mision de habilidad.
Cuenta con una excelente arte visial.
Lo unico malo que no se puede dejar pasar pero que AUN ASI lo sigue haciendo genial es que no contiene todas las cartas, hacen falta muchas cartas raras.
Una de las cosas que lo hace increible es que cuando abres un sobre no te permite tener mas de 4 cartas repetidas, siempre tendras cartas diferentes :3 recomendado 10000000%

The game as a whole is slow and frustrating. Animations take forever, card placements are glitchy (several equipment on top of each other) and the interface is confusing. There's also a pretty huge paywall as well. Diddn't enjoy at all.

знал о МТГ давно и пробовал играть в реале, но в данную версию пришёл с хартстоуна, в котором был несколько лет и хочу дать сравнение этих двух игр. может, кому-то будет интересно:
плюсы magic duels:
1. минимальный рандом. единственное, что им определяется - порядок прихода карт.
2. очень понятное и подробное обучение.
3. существование режима 2х2.
4. гораздо более лёгкое добывание бустеров без доната (5 побед - 1 бустер. + квесты, + голда за бои с ботами)
5. не выпадает лишних повторных карт. только такое кол-во, которое можешь засунуть в деку. из-за этого, шансы вскрыть легендарки и плейнсволкеров с каждым бустером только растут.
6. нужно крайне мало золота, чтобы позолотить все свои карты
7. отсутствие чата и стандартных фраз у героев (ибо различные "неплохо сыграно", повторяемые по 20 раз подряд фейсигроком порядком раздражают и приходилось вручную постоянно это отключать)
минусы magic duels:
1. карты нельзя распылять и из пыли делать нужные.
2. противники, с которыми попадаешся, примерно равны тебе только по рангу, но не по количеству хороших карт. из-за чего, без доната на первых порах могут более-менее сражаться с реальными людьми только фейс деки. любая лейт дека, собранная из стандартных карт и нескольких, упавших с бустеров, полученных за голду с квестов, не могут соперничать с легендарками и плейнсволкерами. а противников, у которых они есть, примерно 2/3 (по крайней мере мне попадались).
3. иногда, игра очень долго ищет противника и пару раз вылетала

A little background, I am both a big fan of the 'free to play' model as well as the Magic The Gathering card game.
I've been playing Magic for about four years now.
I've owned a few of the other digital game versions as well as having a few competitive decks in real life as well.

It's been no secret that many people have found the digital series to be pretty hit or miss. I don't know what Wizard's of The Coast does to miss the boat so hard. But I'll first put this review into a technical and then a business sense:

What works about the game:
-Bare bones, the game launches, plays, has a GUI and from what I've seen as of February, very little bugs. It's a smooth experience to start and once you get into the interface it's an enjoyable segue into the game.
-The music as always is top notch. I have yet to see anyone lodge a complaint against the music
-Fair art direction. The cards already have art that they have on file so it's hard to say that they really go out of their way with the art on the cards. However, the 3D cutscenes don't quite match the style of the cards and come off more as a Nickelodeon spinoff of Magic; which, depending on your preference, may be a good thing.
-The deck builder that everyone's been asking for is here. People complain about it not featuring a 'search by name' function. But I truly don't care. If you can remember the picture it takes all of about two seconds. And even if you unlock all the cards, it doesn't hurt to give your other options a browse while you flip to the card you want.

What doesn't work-
Now, before I get into the blemishes, it should be said that I generally enjoy the game but a review in my book is to tell people whether or not the product is worth investing in.
-The RNG. The point of the RNG being so poor is obviously an incentive to get you to buy more and more boosters. Hopefully with your own money. An easy way to observe this is to play the story mode decks. The 'challenge' often doesn't come from having a winnable deck and being forced to outthink your opponent's cards. It's redrawing, and restarting the duel over and over and over until you get a really good hand, (Hopefully with good draws afterward) and sometimes even then, some duels I found were almost impossible to win unless the opponent suffered from several bad draws.
-The Free To Pay model. Now, as I said, I love Free to Play. That's an awesome step forward with games with a competitive environment. I'll talk more about that in a second. But the problem here is that in the competitive side of the game, there's a huge incentive put on buying better cards than everyone else. Keep buy buy buying and hope your RNG gets you better cards than the other guy. A little RNG isn't bad, it keeps things interesting. However, when the incentive is to force the player to spend money when they would rather play with skill, then it's a waste of development time as you'll be seeing diminishing returns on your usage of those features.

What's just in the middle?
Well, between good and bad there's a few things that just sort of fall by the wayside.
-The free cards you earn are not very competitive.
Grinding for better cards can be fun. However, it shouldn't be done in the multiplayer against people with better cards, or at the very least not left to RNG boosters. Not neccessarily saying that the cards offered from the story should be perfectly competitive, but at least enough (if you've completed the whole story) to be able to play against starting level duelists.
-Lack of dynamic matchmaking
As far as I can tell, there's not really any matchmaking algorithms in place to match you with people at your skill level. You seem to be matched with just whoever happens to be playing. This results often in playing against other players with much better or much worse cards than you rather than someone who offers a challenge and a fun game.
-Lack of players
I don't know how many people actually play this game. But I'm judging that not a lot do from how long it can take to matchmake. I guess many people would just rather play the hard-format card game.

Ways to fix it really simply-
1.) First fix and probably most important: specifically two modes that I think will make the game even worth installing-
-Team battle: Basically, five players on each team (5v5) or (4v4) or (3v3) duel it out with premade competitive decks (similar to picking a hero in Dota, each deck has unique themes and abilities and once picked, can't be picked by the enemy team).
This is going to be the main draw of the game. Teams can use game chat to speak to eachother, and make tactical decisions. Suddenly there's a team dynamic, and it's even better than just playing 1v1 with a friend.
-Free battles: These are the current gametypes but reworked. #2 will talk about how to improve this mode. These are duels using decks that you've assembled yourself using the cards that are in the game. However, there can be certain rules applied:
Legacy, Modern, etc.

2.)Observe functioning Free to play systems: perhaps some of the best and most marketably viable free to play models are actually on Steam. Team Fortress and Dota 2 come with their own brand of users and you take them or leave them. Magic is much the same. However to make Magic work as an online game, all the content of the game needs to be free and readily available with balancing patches to control the meta game.
The reason why this works: players can spend more time on the game getting better, and more competitive with the game. Switching the content you want to buy to cosmetic, makes the game more worth playing.

3.) By switching the focus to cosmetic, people invest more time into the game. As they invest, they spend more. I hate to say it, but Dota found the magic formula. You spend X amount of hours and as X+fun=Financial investment.
Now you may say, but that still applies to this game! However, consider that because it's also pay to win RNG, you've got to face facts and admit that you've also got, X+fun-(loss x loss conditions)=fincancial investment. The greater the amount of losses, the less likely that user is to spend money on anything in the game. Nobody except a very small handful of people with huge egos will buy boosters just to compete in a pay to win game. It's very niche. The rest of the people willing to buy are hardcore magic fans who are already likely to just buy hard copies of cards.

Ultimately Wizards is in no financial trouble. However, they are walking away from a lot of money with this particular online game. By tweaking their approach by a bit, their financial rewards could be greater.

Players however, if you are a huge Magic fan then you'll love that the game is free to play, but may grow tired of the monotonous grinding for boosters and long loss streaks in attempts to get better cards with less frustrating outcomes.
If you're not a fan of Magic, but a fan of card games looking to install one on steam, then try it out.
If you're not a fan of Magic and can take or leave a card game, then pass. There are plenty of other, (better) free to play games out there.

If the game is updated to a state where it adresses some of its core issues, then I will happily update this review.

Great Single Player entry to mid level Magic the Gathering game. Not recommended to play if you want to collect all the cards, or play constructed with perfectly tuned decks online against other players. Can't get free single player M:tG content anywhere else, I guess the hand holded deck construction is great for beginners to the hobby.

Game constantly getting updates unlike the Duels series, tonnes of active players in PVP.

My only complaint is that PVP is being really forced on people, even those who start out if you're trying to just complete dailies. Bulk of the daily quests are "In Versus Battles" which a newbie couldn't really stand a chance against.

The game does a good job introducing players to Magic the gathering. However, you will need to buy boosters if you want to play online. Of course you can have some "starter" cards if you finish the campaigns, but I found frustrating that you get a mediocre deck (that you can't change in campaign mode) to fight another deck that counters yours. Then it goes for luck, if you get the correct cards that fight to beat your opponent. And to get lucky, you need to play several times the same fight, and it gets annoying instead of enjoyable. That's why I don't recommend this one. If you are going to spend money, go for Magic Online or Magic 2013.

The Grind.....

The most you can win at a time after the campaign is a measly 30 coins per match, playing other players. Yes, you get quests to gain a bit more but these are daily and really make a small impact on coin gain. And each "Booster pack" costs 150 coins which only has 6 cards... yes 6. In comparison, you get 15 when buying real packs.

The main problem with this game is new players start with a very small card pool from finishing the campaign and the starter cards.This makes it VERY difficult to compete with other players who have either payed a ton of money to unlock cards or have grinded for months. The game has a ranking system on how many wins you have NOT the strength of your decks. I have been playing ranked matches against 1-7's and i'd say 90% of those "LOW" ranked players I'm matched against have unlocked most of the cards in sets. Because too many of them seem to have a lot Legendarys and Plainswalkers.

So say you want to pay around how much the previous DOTP games cost including their expansions(around $40) you'll have enough to buy roughly 50 "Booster packs". That's only HALF of one of the 7 sets.

So final verdict:

I can't recommend this to anyone that wants to pay around the same as the last games in the series and get their moneys worth.

And for those that don't want to pay: Hope you have a lot of time on your hands fiend.....

Because At the time of this review I had logged 57 hours and In that time I've only unlocked 27% of one of the 7 sets. Good luck.

This is a fun, cheap alternative to cardboard magic, which I rarely have the time or money for nowadays. The interface is generally pretty solid, and certainly a better MTG game than MTGO (although that's quite a low bar). Now if we could just ban damage effects in VS matches...

Magic Duels is a fun and capivating game to anyone interested in playing Magic: The Gathering for free. The story, multiplayer and deck building all offer put to hundreds of hours of entertainment for anyone with the taste for strategy TCG, or just giving someone a taste of Magic: The Gathering. The primary issue with the game is that the starting card pool is too weak, and way of earning packs buy going through daily quest is too slow. For players to be given the cards they want in a satisfactory amount of time without spending money, the starting card pool must be strengthened, and players should be able to recieve boost packs more quickly. However, despite the game's primary flaw, if a player loves magic the gathering, and they have the patience to grind for packs, they will find a game they will love, and it also acts a decent entry way for someone looking to try out Magic: The Gathering. 8/10.

Il gioco è buono; considerando il fatto che è un free-to-play. Ci sono tutte le ultime espansioni del gioco originale, anche se, mancano alcune carte nel gioco digitale. Io lo consiglio perchè è divertene ed e praticamente infinito. Ci sono dei lati negativi, potrebbe crashare durante una partita ma appartequesto non ci sono ulteriori difetti importanti. Se si considera che per poter comprare pacchetti ad aggiungere nuove carte non pagate, perchè ad ogni partita vinta ottenete delle monete in-game che vi fanno poi acquistare i pacchetti senza spendere soldi reali. Direi che è un gioco perfetto per chi cerca strategia, divertimento e creatività nel creare il proprio mazzo personalizzato.

Sehr gutes Spiel, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, das es umsonst ist! Wer gerade keinen Spieler zu Hand hat, kommt hier auf seine Kosten. Durch den Anfang muss man sich etwas kämpfen, weil man ja noch kaum Karten hat, aber mit der Zeit kann man Strategien (auch nicht so bekannte) verfolgen. Wenn man diesen (gratis!) Spiel etwas bemängeln kann, dann das die Missionen der Kampagne doch sehr kurz geraten ist, hier hattem die Vorgänger mehr in petto. Und die KI macht manchmal Fehler die ein menschlicher Spieler nie machen würde (massig Karten ziehen, obwohl die Bibliothek sich dem Ende zuneigt, Fahrzeuge ohne Grund bemannen z.B.). Alles in allem aber klare Teilnahmeempfehlung!

Good game but unfortunately ruined by unfair 1v1 where the player with the most planeswalkers wins the game.
A planeswalkers is a special kind of card that are designed to be overpowered by wizards to increase sales.

Still i recommend it since its free 2 play (pay 2 win) and once ur ranking drops low enough you might start 1v1 players without planeswalkers.

Not a bad game! User friendly but some features and rules have been simplified or are missing from "real" paper magic. If you want to learn magic or just have fun, this is as good as it gets with the "real" online magic version being very clunky (It's another game called "Magic Online", more similar to paper magic but not as user friendly as Magic Duels).

Graphics here are better and it's much more user friendly and a good way to start learning magic and learning to build decks and more. Would recommend this to beginners or people who want to dip into magic again if they want to learn the new cards and interactions. This is not a very good game for people who know a lot of magic and wants to play certain formats, this game is battles / casual mostly. If you want to play a sealed deck or limited format or cube or some other more complex form of magic, go to Magic Online. If you are new or returning to magic after a break, this is perfect though.

This being more suitable for beginners is absolutely not a bad thing, a beginner would be completely lost using Magic Online, they should absolutely play magic duels for many hours before trying magic online in my opinion.

5/5 for new or returning players, 1/5 for people who has played some to a lot of magic recently and know all the rules and want to play different modes similar to paper magic (you should just go to Magic Online or to your local game store)

To be faire I m not sure I would recommend it if it was not free, because of a lack of "support".
Still :
- this is Magic The Gathering as you are playing it with real cards (except some bugs. Not big bugs but still it seems so easy to correct it that it's kinda weird that they don't).
- the card sets are the same as current extensions of MTG, except some cards that were removed (for what reasons ? it is very very not clear because, hell, if last extension is playable and draftable in real life why would we have balance problems in that game ? nonsense. For example on Magic Duels you can't build an "awaken" deck because they removed the main reason for that deck, Halimar the tidecaller).
- game mechanisms works pretty well (interrupt with space bar, etc) but you need to get used to it.
- can't remap hotkeys -_-
- playing with a tablet ? it works pretty well except two BIG things : menu (for conceding) is only available through Escape key and if you want to zoom on the card you need mouse -_-
- nice campaigns, good for discovering the game.
- you can play 2v2 !!! you can play with a friend !
- free

还记得最初接触万智牌是高中，同学随便扔给我他组牌后剩余的让我跟他对战，我很多规则都不懂的情况下只有被虐的份。从此开始入门，但苦于没钱，没有怎么玩实体牌，走上了数字化的路。刚开始玩magic duels是5年多前还在留学，由于学业繁忙，加上之前玩了很多版本planeswalkers，所以兴致不大。回国后发现magic duels还在更新，所以又捡起来，完成每天任务，存金币抽卡，坚持下来居然在没花钱的情况下，能用金币买的都买了。在这个过程中，单人还是双人胜率都在不断提升。本来以为这版本就可以这样一直玩下去，结果自从arena出了后不温不火，某天就官宣magic duels不再更新维护了，但是所有的牌直接开放，无需用金币购买。我尝试去玩arena，但是一段时间后还是被UI劝退了。回来duels发现由于停更，已经流失了很多玩家，但是我还一直坚持继续专研，开发不同的牌组，直至现在已经玩了接近7000小时。由于双头怪模式下，我接近无敌的存在，很多玩家都放弃在这个模式下与我对战，我的游戏好友还告诉我，国外有玩家批评我虐其他玩家，我一笑置之，大家拥有相同的牌池，为何只有我虐而不是我被虐？现在双头怪模式已经没人了，大家都跑去单人模式，于是我也只能去单挑，胜率大概在8成左右吧。虽然这游戏停更了，居然还能让不少玩家留下来，也是挺佩服大家的，估计这是对万智牌的爱吧。

Hallo Entwickler,
die Karten, deren Vielfalt, sowie deren Design sind sagenhaft ehrenwürdig. Die Krönung aller Kartenspiele.
Kampagne fällt wie immer zu kurz aus.
Keine Rankings /Highscores ist für mich eine Enttäuschung, es fehlt wirklich an einer Statistik. Als eingefleischter Magic Spieler lege ich sehr viel Wert auf Statistiken, besonders online.
Desweiteren würde ich Online-Turniere empfehle. Das würde sowas von Spass machen und Spannung pur. Wäre der absolute Hammer!
Außerdem fordere ich euch zum Duell heraus. In Sachen 2HG sind Ich und mein Partner davon überzeugt, dass wir euch ne Lektion zu verpassen. Und dann noch Eine. Und dann noch Eine. Jede Wette!

So this game uses the magic the gathering cards and game. So its close to the card game and that's the big draw for this game. The down side is the game itself. This game has a lot of problems. The timer is very annoying. It runs through some parts too fast for you to act and so you miss chances to play. The it for some reason gives huge amounts of time to do things like look at a card, or choose what opponent you want to attack (hint the one your playing against). It can be hard to block when you hae a lot of attackers. The matching system is a joke, and you can get matched up in your first game against some guy who dumped $$$ down on the game. And that brings me to my last part the pay to win. Yes this game, like magic the gathering the card game, is pay to win, but unlike the card game you cant just get the cards you want, you have to open (buy) packs. And with about 2$ a pack 6 cards in a pack and 1000+ cards. This is the definition of a pay to win game. Now to be fair you can earn coins and each set does give you some descent starter cards, so you can get a few OK decks. Just expect to loose to most people unless you pay into the game. You can grind for it, but expect to play a very long time to be even a little competitive.

I recommend the game at first. The missions are fun. It uses the magic the gathering cards and rules and even this game couldn't mess that up. I would not play after that much or put money into this, unless you want to put down a lot. The later vs games are not fun unless you put in the money. For a free game I would recommend, if you like MTG the card game.

Самый большой плюс поставлю Ричарду Гарфилду! Продуманные правила боя и бесчисленное разнообразие карт, иной раз завораживает. Это что косается бумажной и ряде электронных игры Magic. Описывать не буду, это надо вкурить и поиграть, особенно в турниры с живыми игроками в клубах.

А вот теперь о самой игре Magic Duels:

+ количество карт в этой игре богатое, комбинаций по сбору колод море

+ удобные фильтры по сбору колоды (так как карт много и с каждым выпуском ещё больше)

+ это всё...

- ДОНАТ дорогой, а без него вооообще нереально собрать среднюю колоду

- выплаты зы бои мизерные

- тебя постоянно швыряет к донатерам у торых колода уже вкачена в тоб. баланс воообще никакой

- мало режимов боев

- соответсвенно играть со средней колодой по сетке нереально, а бесплатно максиму собирется средняя колода

- бустеры стоят по 150 голды, а средний комп выдает 10 (и это после ~ часа игры, в которой ты еще сливаешь)

- противник постоянно ходит первым 9/10

И главный минус: разрабы, какого х@@на вы на ios выплату за все увеличили на 5 голды???

P.S. уже планшеты на винде, м.б. для них тоже сенсор запилить????

Pretty decent for a free game. Great way to learn for new players or refreshing if you have not play in a while.

Only thing that is a bummer is everyone starts with the same starter deck and it's not many cards for lot's of varieties of decks. You do unlock coins though to buy packs of cards for free. So for a free game and a love for magic I don't mind grinding away to unlock more cards.

This game is allot of fun but it has some serious flaws that make big part of the game unplayable, like little to no support or at least hard to get any support, cannot play certain card abilities due to a error in the gamaplay, otherwise, this game is fantastic if you can live with these flaws.

Hey Leute und geliebtes Magicteam,
wie wäre es mit Ehrenmarken wovon man eine pro Kampf verteilen kann oder halt auch nicht.
Sie sollten als eine Art Prestige gelten und im Kampf für das aktuelle Deck angezeigt werden.
Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl, dass das Deck meines Gegners übertrieben gut ist und dafür würde ich dann auch gerne einen Daumen hoch verteilen.
Sorry für der Rechtsschreibung ansonnsten ist das Game ein Traum.

The game is great. I started playing magic long time ago and now I'm back enjoying it. The only problem is that for new players now you can't get enough coins for buying card boosters from old expansions and create nice decks is really hard.
I payed like 100€ or so but still not close to get 50% of current cards.
Why old boosters don't get a discount? It's a pain

This is definitely the best of the best of card games; it's a fantastic game. Well balanced compared to others (and I've played a lot) and extremely flexible with how you play. The wisdom that comes with age definitely shows in MGT.

The only gripes I really have about this version of MGT is that not all card sets are complete... even if you get 100% of the cards from a set in this game, there are still many cards within sets in real life that don't appear here and I would very much like to see this to be able to make more creative decks, as well as producing improvements to current decks.
As a direct result of this, competitive gameplay on this version of MGT is very restricted to play to a small "meta " and being forced to play with the recent sets, which I enjoy, but it would be nice to be able to have viable decks from previous card sets.
Having to earn or buy the new additions the same way we buy boosters now would be absolutely fine.

I would like to see the standard format introduced for ranked games, which would forbid players from entering the ranked queue if they have any illegal card within the format, but still have a free versus mode where you can bring whichever cards you like. To allow new players to gain gold and be able to participate later in a standard ranked ladder, have the free Vs mode reward the current 30 gold upon winning, and maybe 40 gold for winning a standard ladder match.
I mainly say this because in ranked matches, cards that have been deemed too strong for the standard format are still prevalent in the current ladder (Smuggler's Copter for example, for those familiar with the game and ban lists).

Finally there are no social mechanisms in this game... the ability to speak to opponents and allies during a match (and an option to turn off this chat for those who do not wish to chat) would be great. Perhaps also introducing a friends option as well as I do not wish to flood my entire steam friends list solely with people who play Magic Duels.

None of these things will stop me playing any time soon, but I feel they're essential for the longevity of this platform of MGT.

Cependant je trouve qu'il manque une fonction indispensable, un moyens de pouvoir communiquer avec l'adversaire, rien que pour le fait de pouvoir féliciter un joueur adverse qui remporte la partie .

Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil.Tolles spiel in dem Glück, Strategie und Taktik entscheiden wer gewinnt.

ärgerlich daß im Offlinemodus keine Spielwährung erspielt werden kann.
Außerdem kommt es einen vor ,daß das Spiel ein bischissenen Mischmodus hat.
Es kommt zu oft vor das man viele Länder auf die erste Hand bekommt und danach fast nur Länder
nachzieht obwohl per Wahrscheinlichkeit eher weniger Länder kommen sollten.
Umgedreht ebenenso, kaum Länder auf der Starthand und rundenlang kein Land zum Nachziehn, obwohl diesmal die Wahrscheinlichkeit höher sein sollte.
Auch der Mulligan kommt mir komisch vor, wie kann es sein das man zwei Karten mit selben Namen auf der Starthand hat die man nur zweimal im Deck sind , man einen Mulligan macht und diese beiden Karten wieder auf der Hand findet.
Deshalb meine Meinung das dieses Spiel eine schlechte zufalls und Wahrscheinlichkeits programmierung hat. Obwohl die Ereignisse per Wahrscheinlichkeit möglich sind treffen sie zu oft oder zu selten ein.

If you love Magic, but find it too costly to keep up with their aggressive card release, then this is the option for you. Full control of deck building. You don't have access to all of the cards in any set. You can unlock all cards without spending any money, but it will take a LONG time.

My biggest complaint right now is that my favorite part of the game, can only be played against real humans. 2 headed giant, or any multiplayer duels for that matter.

Still a good way to get a Magic fix though.

So I beat the tutorial campaign which is supposed to reward me with 3 packs, and it just doesn't. I play the final enemy again to see if that procs it, but again it doesn't. Those packs are just gone. Then I start another campaign and it crashes just as I'm about to beat the first encounter. I saw a lot of complaints in the reviews talking about crashes, so clearly this is common. Wizards of the Coast makes plenty enough money to fix these problems, and especially for a game with a business model like this one it's way more important to fix these issues. However, a trip though Google search tells me that there were people with these same problems over a year ago. I wouldn't invest my time into this, since it doesn't look like they will invest into making it worth your time.

EDITADO (actualizado 17/04/2017)---->: "Magic Duels of BUGS" debería llamarse... es de vergüenza ajena la cantidad de bugs que hay. El oponente que tenga menos Bugs será el que gane el duelo :

*Turnos que se pasan solos sin dar opcion a atacar

*Botones que se congelan y dejan de funcionar por lo que no puedes hacer NADA

*Modo gigante de dos cabezas que da mil errores te tira del juego, te pone a tu colega en el equipo contrario cuando ibais juntos al hacer el matchmaking

*Partidas que de repente se cierran por que sí.

*Partidas que ganas y te tira sin darte el oro...

.... lamentable.

Resumen: Juego diseñado con el orto que pudo ser grande dados sus antecedentes en el juego real y se quedo en ñordo virtual. Solo recomendable para los amantes de las Magic viejunos y con paciencia, los principiantes huid de esto como de la peste.

En serio, Hearthstone le da mil patadas (no solo en fluidez de los combates, que esto se le puede perdonar a Magic..) en el Game Design o diseño del juego. Enumeremos:

-Quien fue el"""genio"""que se le ocurrió meter 20.000 tutoriales parando una partida constantemente y sacandote de ella?
-Molestos popups por todos lados
-El boton de pausar el turno a veces no te hace ni caso y te jodes al no poder tirar un instantaneo
-Los rivales a veces hacen jugadas que ni ves de lo rapido que suceden, en cambio cuando el tio juega un p.uto maná te lo enseñan ahi bien grande, relantizando el tiempo y a pantalla completa
-Mazos de la campaña totalmente desequilibrados en tu contra, muchas veces te quedas con cara de subnormal mientras el oponente no para de sacar pepinos de cartas y las tuyas son tristes 1/1 o morallas similares
-Te regalan un pack de inicio y ni te muestran que cartas te han dado, tienes tu que meterte ahi a navegar por menus para verlas
-No hay mazos prediseñados para los recien llegados, te lo tienes que hacer tu con un asistente que deja mucho que desear pues no te muestra todas las opciones disponibles a la vez y igual habia una mejor que las que te ofrece

.....
..

Y a todo esto sumale la lentitud de las partidas de Magic, la arcaica, injusta y obsoleta mecanica de que te tiene que tocar mana para jugarlo ( De nuevo Hearstone le da mil patadas, 1 mana por turno asegurado es lo más balanceado y justo), ...

It was fun at first, when it was pretty easy to earn gold and buy boosters through the "story".

But once you get to the online part, you'll realise the only people you can play against have been playing much longer or have spent significant real money on cards.

The only way to win is to spend £50+, and frankly you'd be better off playing magic online or even IRL if you're happy to sink that.

I barely recommend this game but to be honest - it's really good for newbies like me. The Story Mode and Skil Quests are great to introduce MTG's mechanics. But some issues ruins all game:
- Turn will complete automatically if I have nothing to play. Do you realize that it gives too much info to my opponent? Especially if I am playing control deck.
- UI is awful. Did you try to rename your deck? As a gamedeveloper myself I can't imagine how did you manage to hide this so good
- UI is still awful. When a spell in a stack you can zoom it to read some information from the card. You have to right'click it and select "Zoom in". My God, it's the only item in this context menu! Why should I select it when I have no other options?

Anyway, all this problems can be fixed and I hope you will do it, community will be thankful (just kidding, community is never thankful)

I really enjoy this game. There's enough there (quests, deck building) to keep your interest day in, day out. With earlier versions, deck building was pretty basic, but that has been enhanced now to make it easier to search/filter on creature types, keywords, etc., just not a word search (like "counter").

I have played over 1000 hours, and the only thing that bugs me is the timer in versus battles. If the other plauer is doing something, you can't do anything. Then when he's done, the game seems to jump to the next step in a matter of seconds, not giving you the chance (same length of time) that your opponent had. Lost many games due to inability to respond to opponent's action.

This game keeps getting better and better (concerns keep getting addressed in new updates and I am sure these will too) and it's free!

This game gas actually got me back to playing the card game again!

[i]"Magic Duels is kinda like your hot crazy ex. She looks good and smells good, so you talk with her and start remembering why you loved her in the first place and want to try it again, and everything is great until she stabs you in the hand with a fork because you were chewing or breathing too loud. But sooner or later, you'll want to try it again."[/i]

[h1]ACTUAL REVIEW[/h1]

I've invested a decent amount of time and more money than I care to admit in this game, so I feel its time to give it an honest review.

[u]Pros[/u]
+ Teaches you how to play MTG, So it's a good game to pick up for new players along with returning players needing a refresher.
+ Atmospheric campaigns that introduce you to each new set while also earning you coins.
+ Game limits your collection and deck to only one mythic, 2 rares, 3 uncommon, and 4 common cards of any individual card. This creates an artificial buffer and prevents players with too much money/time from building crazy decks that will dominate the metagame.
+ Finite amount of cards for each set, meaning eventually you will have every card in the set. With older sets going on sale every so often to help build your collection more quickly.
+ 150 coin price tag is very fair for a booster of 6 cards. Winning a multiplayer match earns you 30 coins plus any bonuses for completing weekly and daily quests means you can unlock at least one new booster every day with a decent deck.
+ Every set since Origins has been included, and they continue to add new blocks as they come out, with some card exceptions that would be too complicated to code in a vs format.
+ All the fun of FNM, minus the smell.

[u]Cons[/u]
- Mana tapping system needs work, though there is a mana tapping key, often times it either doesn't work correctly or is just too clucky to use in the limited time you have to play your turn. Nothing is more frustrating than a match going sideways because the game chose to tap the wrong mana for you.
- Game is very buggy at times, I had to leave a match I was winning because the game refused to unzoom a card and blocked my view of the battlefield. Another time, the game froze on the "opponent watching animations screen" and it cost me the match.
- Game has been out long enough for there to be enough "auto include" mythics and rares between all the sets to make it frustrating to play vs battles at times. I've run out of fingers and toes for the amount of times I've seen "Combustable Gearhulk" in any deck that has red in it.
- Game really favors the constructed format of the game, which can be jarring/frustrating for players that like to play limted formats like draft, sealed, and pauper.
- Plainswalkers dominate the game. Some are pretty benign, but you'll see the frustrating ones enough to make you walk away from the game at times. (I personally haven't liked plainswalkers when they were introduced years ago, At least back then they were reasonable being 6 drops with something along the lines of "+1: Target creature gets +1/+1" not 4 drops with "+3: Make game unplayable.")
- No In-game chat with other players. (I would probably get banned if we actually had this, I'm humble enough to know I can be a sore winner/loser.)
-All the frustration of FNM, minus the smell.

I really like Magic duels, but I also hate it just as much. I've lost count of how many times I've walked away from the game, never to play again, just to find myself back again in another duel 30 minutes later. I honestly think you need to be a little bit of a masochist to enjoy this game.

If you like MTG, you'll feed that itch with this game. If you want to learn MTG, this game is a good jumping off point. If you want to stare blankly at the screen in a silent burning rage that could fuel a thousand suns, this game is for you.

UPS

1.- Magic Duels is an interesting Game of Magic The Gathering that also provides the excitement of opening new boosters.
To get the boosters, you earn coins fulfilling part of the story of the Multiverse of Magic, from the Magic Origins expansion and so on.
I really like how the game is presented, although there are several important differences between this game rules of deck building of the paper card game.

2.- Except for the basic lands, you can only have 4 cards in the deck with the same name if they are Commons; 3 cards if they are Uncommons; 2 if they are Rares; and 1 if it is Mythic Rare. In the proper card game you may have 4 cards of the same name in the same deck.

3.- The good thing about purchasing boosters is that you will get, at most, those many cards, so you can manage to get a collection complete if you purchase enough boosters. One booster is 150 coins. You will not get too many copies of a card and you will not get to use them. From Time to Time, there are boosters "on sale". So dsaving coins for those moments can be useful. They cost 1000 coins on sale.

4.- The way to earn Coins is interesting: Complete the story mode.
Then, you have several quests to do while playing games. you get a new quest each day if you have completed the ones you have, so you can play each day to get more coins.
You can also play the computer to earn small amounts of coins.
If you win online against another human opponent, you get more coins than against the AI; so that encourages facing people online.

5.- You are usually paired with people with the same rank you have (Rank is obtained by the games you win minus the games you lose online), so you should face people with the same skill as you have. You can also play against your friends.

6.- There are many cards and you can make interesting decks, although not that many. And Tribal decks are not that much supported.

DOWNS

1.- The bad thing about the game is the VERY HIGH requirements for a card game. It does not require that much 3D acceleration or anything, I can only play this game on my main computer, but not on my laptop. It crashes. It should require less power for this kind of game, from my point of view. Why does it need that much memory? For the AI?

2.- This encourages new Deck Building skills, and that is interesting in some way.

3.- It is quite slow to obtain the boosters. You have to win coins each day from the quests, you usually have too many quests if you do not play each day. The booster sale is not that often, and it does not promote getting coins more often, because you do not know when you are going to get boosters cheaper.

4.- Most of the Times, quests require to play online. But you have to play in a non-optimal way to fulfill those quests.

5.- The pair system only pairs you with people in the "Win - Lose" ratio, even if they have many cards and you are starting. So it is difficult to balance.
You have to WIN to get coins. That does not encourage playing online. Sometimes, you get so many lost games you do not want to keep playing.
I believe that, to encourage playing with anyone, you should get coins even when you lose. If you win, you get 30 coins. Then, if you lose, you should get at least 5 coins. That would encourage you to play with other people online, people you do not know.
Also, playing with a friend of yours is not encouraged. You do not get any amount of coins for either wining or losing against your friend.
I believe that you should get some coins from that, from playing with your friends. Get, at least 5 coins each. And, if you wih another 5, making a total of 10 coins. Then, you should play a game with your friends 30 Times to get a booster if you do not win any game. THIRTY TIMES. Ok, maybe that it seems that it is too much Time to get one booster... But you earn something from just playing your friends, and that encourages you to play the game, and get more friends into the game.

6.- There are MANY interesting cards that have not been added to the game and that would make it more fun. Most are equipments. Some of those cards are:
Alhammarret's Archive
Archangel of Tithes
Brawler's Plate
Sword of the Animist
Village Messenger
Ulvenwald Captive
Falkenrath Gorger
Drana, Liberator of Malakir
Clash of Wills
Demonic Pact
Goblin Piledriver
Jace's Sanctum
Managorger Hydra
Captain's Claws
Munda's Vanguard
Eerie Interlude
Markov Dreadknight
Odric Lunarch Marshal
Relentless Dead

Maybe they are not the best, but were left out and are interesting to play with.
They could replace other cards that are not even fun to play with. Like:
Dauntless Cathar
Emissary of the Sleepless
Extricator of Sin
Inquisitor's Ox
Paranoid Parish-Blade
Survive the Night
Drownyard Explorers
Stitched Mangler
Crow of Dark Tidings
Rancid Rats
Devil's Playground
Scourge Wolf
Clan of the Waxing Moon
Equestrial Skill
Stoic Builder
Invocation of Saint Traft

Among others

TO SUM UP

If you want to keep in touch with Magic and have lots of Time to spare, you can use that Time opening boosters in this game
But the pace of the game is quite slow and you cannot get your hands on the total combination of cards that you would like to (For instance, with those cards)
The game only encourages winning, not enjoying playing the game; and enjoying any game is a must, even more than only winning.

But this is only my point of view.

Thank you for reading.

It is really hard to rate this game; I wish there was an option to only partly recommend it but since there isn't (and the game is free after all!) I had to give it a thumbs up, eventhough I kind of feel bad doing so...

Duels is a very nicely done digital version of Magic: The Gathering. The overall appearance and designs look terrific, there is a vast amount of cards to collect and the interactive tutorials provide a straightforward introduction to the sometimes very complex game mechanics. The AI seems impressive to me (eventhough I can't profoundly judge this, to be honest, since I'm no Magic veteran...) Collecting coins to buy new cards and improving your decks turns out to be extremely addictive.

I can HIGHLY recommend this game for people who:
- Want to learn how Magic: The Gathering works
- Enjoy single-player mode
- Don't mind playing dozens of hours only to get a slightly improved deck that will most of the time still not be able to keep up in multiplayer
- Don't want to play dozens of hours but are willing to spend quite some money to buy new cards...

WARNING!!

--> However I can NOT recommend it entirely because of two significant shortcomings:

- It is not possible to sync different platforms! You might want to play, say, on your way to work on a mobile device, which is of course possible. However, running Duels on a platform other than your regular one, you will neither be able to use already collected cards nor to save your progress (e.g. earned coins) to your normal account which makes it rather pointless.

- Most decks you face in multiplayer are insanely overpowered. Just forget using a deck which to a large extent consists of cards from the intro pack you get for free. It is of course possible to boost your collection with new cards, but to do so you will either have play 100+ hours to get some decent decks or throw an awful lot of money at Wizards (which is of course what they intend).

As my time and funds are limited, this is what kind of spoiled this game for me. However, you might still give it a try, since it's free!

TL;DR: I gave a thumbs up - but on balance I still can't quite recommend Duels. As always with these kind of games you will have to spend quite some money / a lot of time to be able to really compete with other players. But if you only want to get to know Magic a little, then just go for it!

This game is great for those who are new and want to experience it before buying into it irl. It is also especially a good place to build and test your decks before you buy the materials for them.

O jogo é bom porém poderia ter mais opções de conseguir boosters como, por exemplo, se em jogos Versus algum sistema de pontuação fosse implementado, além das moedas, para que, conforme as pessoas fossem ganhando as batalhas, ganhassem pontos para trocar por booster/cartas/capas etc, mais ou menos como é o esquema no jogo Pokémon Cards da Nintendo, onde você tem além dos desafios, um sistema de pontuações que vai aumentando o número de pontos necessários para adiquirir prêmios maiores, de forma progressiva, com uma previsão de tempo para o fim daquela seção, reiniciando os pontos assim que a seção passa. Dessa forma creio que o jogo poderia proporcionar mais aprendisagem e opções de cartas para os participantes, para que os mesmos possam desenvolver e testar seus decks reais.

It's free. The decks in the story mode are mostly not fun and it feels a bit shattered, but there are moments that it is fun. Unless you are willing to pay, it takes a while to gather cards to make a fun deck. But again it is free. The usual iteration cost $10, so you could argue spending that on getting cards. I haven't spent any yet. The long haul method of gathering coins from wins to buy cards is more fulfilling though ultimately more boring perhaps. But it is free to try either way. Why not reccomend it on that?

I WOULD recommend this game to others. I've been playing Magic The Gathering (with real world cards I mean) since 1995 or so. Going into Magic Duels I was worried that it would be too "pay to win". It's not. Yes you can pay real world money to get more coins to buy cards but you can also earn coins from just playing (only when you win a match of course) and the speed of coin gain isn't too slow. I'm a firm believer in not paying for microtransactions so I'm grinding away at the free path, and it's pleasently reasonable about the pace. You can play against other people or against an AI, 30 coins for beating a person or 15 for beating an AI, and 150 coins will buy you another booster pack (6 cards with 1 guarenteed rare). If your deck isn't good enough to play against real people at first you can just battle the AI until you have a good enough deck for fighting real players. It's got 7 different expansions to choose from, with each having it's specialities (I often pick the one that specializes in werewolf cards).
And the thing that really seperates it from earlier Magic video games is there's no end goal. In previous ones if you had unlocked every level and unlocked all 20 locked cards for each deck you were basically "done". No such thing here. There's no set decks (maybe there is for people who pay real world money), there's just "build your own from the starter boxes and the cards you get from boosters". Which is how Magic is supposed to be anyway, so it's a welcome change. But it means decks are completely open ended, you'll never feel like you're "done" making that deck. Or if you are there's always new decks to make ("hey I don't have an elf deck yet").
One other thing: since it never feels like you're working towards completion you never feel pressed to have a marathon session of the game. This game works great as a breather between playing other games. "Ok enough Minecraft for today, I think I'll play 2 hours of Magic, then switch to Borderlands 2". Maybe at the start you're hard pressed to get your deck good enough to play real people but other than that you can just play for the fun of playing rather than to work towards a goal. Which, once again, is how Magic The Gathering should be.

Es un juego que te hace pensar muy bien, debes formar una estrategia y tener otra de apoyo. La verdad a mi no me gustaban los juegos de cartas... Pero este supero en todo mis perspectivas, me atrevo a decir que este juego es uno de mis favoritos. Lo juego junto con mi pareja, y gracias a el conozco el juego. Lo recomiendo, es divertido y muy entretenido...

I have enjoyed playing Magic The Gathering online. I love the ease of play and everything is calculated for you. I enjoy the updated online play which is now inline with the card play at the stores, so I can practice and play online for the in-person games. Thank you! I will continue to play and enjoy the on-line play!
