One of the better XBLA titles out there. It doesn't replace MTG Online, but is a great learning tool for new MTG players

User Rating: 8 | Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers X360
This is one of the few XBLA games out there that I feel succesfully blends affordability, gameplay and replayability. MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers is a neat little package that allows players to experience the Magic: The Gathering experience in a calm, easy manner.

I highly suggest this title for old fans of Magic, and those wishing to learn Magic before perhaps moving to the actual card game - not only does it help you strategize, the game literally explains every little facet of the game that might be puzzling to newcomers.

The only really big downfall about this title is the lack of deck customization. If the player were allowed to customize their decks down to the last card, this would be an amazing experience, but that would create direct competition with Magic: Online, which defeats the purpose of this game, I suppose.
