A good and balanced digital interpretation of the popular trading card game.
As you play, you can unlock about 10 different color combinations of decks. Each of those has about 80 cards or so, but many are duplicates. By winning with a certain deck, you get to unlock a couple of more cards which can then be included or used to replace something else you might not need. Instead of just 1 vs 1, you can also play online 2 vs 2 or, 4 or 3 player free for all matches, and even the special boss scenario modes where special powerful cards come into play do complicate things further.
Some of the levels are puzzle challenges, where you have specific conditions and preset situations of card combinations in both the field and your hand to figure out the only possible solution. These start off pretty easy, so it's simple to get to know how they work step by step, but later on they increase to almost impossible to figure out difficulty which only masters of MTG will be able to solve.
There is no need deck customization, which can be a bit turn off for most MTG players, since MTG is always focused around collecting and building your own deck that suits your style of play. Thankfully, at least all of the decks are quite well balanced, some are more complicated than others, but each of them revolves around a certain type of play style which makes for some good variety in play, though in the end it mostly all boils down to luck.
At first the game might seem a bit hard to follow, as you will need to pause the game for every new card played to read what it does, though later you will remember them by their artwork and things will get much more faster. Special rules and abilities are marked with special well made icons, ensuring you always know which cards have common advantages without the need to zoom in and keep tabs yourself.
It can't really be compared to the real thing in scope, but it does work well and it has it's advantages, you get many cards and decks than you would for the price of real cards, it's impossible to cheat so you don't have to pay attention to such things as you would in a real game of MTG, and the system does the trivial chores for calculations and stats itself so you only need to focus on the strategy and everything else will take care of itself. It's a great MTG title for both new and advanced players alike.
