Yeah, car crash. Basically your options are buy a vast number of premium boosters or run Sligh (well, Boros aggro at first, then Sligh). Nothing against Sligh, but that is not as appealing to me as previous versions in which you could play with exciting, synergistic decks that had powerful, eternally-playable cards and interesting interactions. Even the powerful cards that are unlockable by grinding are mostly fairly uninteresting (Brimaz, Stormbreath, Baneslayer) as compared to the kind of build-around cards that were available in 2013 or 2014.

I bought it and it seems like they tried to change too much stuff at once.

It has an easy way to get to the deck editor and PvP system. The campaign is short and most of the cards are easy to get.

But, getting rid of THG and the deck editor isn’t that awesome. Yea, you can make your own deck now, but with only one or two copies of the best cards it really comes out about the same as the other games. There is no online ranking system, so it really is a causal gameplay. There are no Avatar Awards like all the other games, for the Xbox.

But, I’m talking with the people I play against and am asking how they like it. Most them them enjoy, they like how it “feels more like real Magic”. It really is more causal set, if you want more deck editing and better cards I suggest Modo.

I think it is actually a upgrade over last year’s- in-game performance is way better; it is faster and smoother than 2014. Load times are gross, and the card pool is different, but feels more like ‘real life’, where you get boosters one at time. It definitely could use a load time reduction, but i think the rest is fine.

While I haven’t played with the product yet, I do know that fewer people are buying it. The promo support is lacking, thus veteran players are less tempted to purchase it. Newer players will still be interested. But if what you say is the norm amongst the existing player base then the product is doomed

As a Playstation Owner, I have no opinion.

I bought it and was really frustrated with how bad my starting deck was. It gets extremely tough when your deck has a bad matchup, since it will take random luck to get your nut draw to beat it. And you can’t switch to another pre-con deck that may have a better matchup since they don’t exist. Also doesn’t help that I didn’t see that you could grind out packs in the “explore this plane” part, but I played for 3-4 hours when I bought it and it has yet to pull me back.
