Not as good as playing with the physical cards, but definitely a close 2nd.

I used to play MTG all the time, until I had to move away from the friends I played with. Thanks to this game though, I can still play with them.

The interface is slick and fluid. It's easy to play cards and the multiplayer has a fair time system implemented so that if you get paired up with the 12 year old who's mom keeps calling him to do chores, you won't have to sit through it for long.

There are a lot of decks and a lot of cards in each, with deck customization available.

Literally the only CON I found in this game:

1. While the current amount of cards is great, until it has as many cards available as the actual card game does, this version of the game will never be able to truly compete.

So in short, if you're a MTG player or even are just curious about MTG, this game will teach you how to play. Another review stated that it won't tell you "when it's best to play certain cards" which I think is ridiculous... That's just part of the game. You won't get flashing hints like you do in Solitaire that say "PLAY THIS CARD NOW" because that would completely ruin it.

Anyway enough rant.
Gameplay - 8
Sound - 8
Graphics - 9 (Nothing flashy but all cards are hi-rez and the table looks nice).
Replayable - 10 (Ranked and friendly MP matches keep it interesting; several DLC packs with more cards keep getting released).
