Magic: The Gathering Arena 12+

I have to say there is so much content here, it’s tough to take it all in. This is not going to be a game you pick up and figure out in an hour or two…or even a week. But saying all that, there are a ton of tutorials and practice games and stuff to introduce you to it. And also, you don’t need to spend a cent to get a lot of content. I have just started to scratch the surface of the game and I already have a lot of gold and wildcards and such. I plan to save it until I have a better handle on what I want to do. There are just so many options it’s a bit overwhelming.

Find an online guide, ideally one that will give you some codes for free stuff, and ease into it through that. Without a guide or a friend who can tell you what to do, you’re probably going to bail. And that’s a shame, as this is probably one of the most played and well crafted games in existence. When a card or series of cards breaks the game, they fix it. The documentation is so detailed that it kind of has its own language - you’ll pick it up eventually.

I give it 4 stars because you are going to have to devote a lot of time to get to where you can feel competitive…and I haven’t gotten there yet. I hope that will happen eventually. But I also have a life that I enjoy and I refuse to get pulled into an obsession. That might be a challenge, but I’m willing to risk it.

Have played magic from the mid 90s off and on till today and have loved it magic arena is a decent version of magic but it’s missing a massive part of what makes magic so versatile and that’s the big game modes for many players and that’s multi player game types every thing from 4 way free for alls too two headed giant/dragon and game types like commander and emperor and I ever so much enjoy playing stuff like plane chasers I’ve played magic on so many different game systems and as of late I’ve played every thing from magic 2012 to magic duels on Xbox with an insanely amount of my friends for hours on end against non other then AI computers in 2 headed giant just to kill hours of time and see what kinda crazy stuff we can come up with an I feel like arena missed that mark completely plus with the insanity behind the new cards every like 2 months it fees like now keeping up with the card base and strategy behind decks is getting ridiculous and impossible too keep up with think you guys need to take a step back and reevaluate what magic was in the last 20 years and refocus your efforts too bring back the basics of magic which was too bring players from all aspects together and enjoy the creativity of building decks from what’s available in a game type such as everything from legacy to standard and everything in between we don’t need 100 new play sets a year when we are missing out on the foundation of team based game styles and the casual game experience

Let me start by saying I love magic the gathering m, it is by far the best game ever made it is an incredible game of skill and one of the most fun things ive ever found period. But arena is such an incredibly broken app it simply doesnt function most of the time. about 50% of the time it just crashes for no reason, I always only get half of the gold from my rewards actually put into my account, there are always issues with sending direct challenges (if you cancel a challenge it just greys out the challenge button) and sometimes you can’t send challenges in certain formats for no discernable reason. The game freezes constantly requiring a restart which loses games all the time. And if you leave the app for more than ten seconds it says “connecting to the server” until you restart the app. Overall this is one of the worst made apps of all time, just compare it to league on mobile which is a much much more graphically complex game which runs perfectly every time. also the fact that the cards in gane are rendered in 3d was a horrible decision, as it leads to a lot of the issues i described above. Lastly there needs to be a penalty for leaving the game without conceding, almost half my games end with someone simply leaving the game and you have to wait for like three minutes for their time to run out. This app is Garbage!!!
