What real reviews say
★ A money Grab. 0/10 If you wish to play magic, stick to in person. Unfortunately, this game does not use a random number regenerator at all for card draw. It is a manipulated game and is not a true traditional shuffle and play game. This makes the game integrity very questionable. Players are constantly bombarded with
★ Poor Gameplay Design Was once a great game. A turn-based strategy card game where you utilize limited resources to attack an opponents life. Sounds great, until the game design introduce multiple infinite loops in the game that effectively give unlimited resources. Poor gameplay design.
★ Constantly putting out updates instead of fixing anything The week before and during July 4th have had 4 separate patches to download but yet the game crashes at least every third match claiming no internet while my internet connection is fine please fix the severs before releasing bs
