  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.

  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 assholes 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 shit on facebook...
