As for this card.. it looks incredibly strong and will be very fun to play with
..Cake..
Well, they have to make money somehow.
The alternative is buying the real cards, like we used to do back in the 90's when Magic:TCG was at it's height.
How does MTG: Arena compare to that?
Played a few matches online to get a basic feel for the game.
Seems pretty good. Looks like you can put time In without spending a ton and get a decent deck.
The people who spend big on packs will have an advantage to be sure. But that goes for any CCG.
I have a ton of mtg card from when i played in the 90s. Some worth a decent amount of money.
The only problem i have with digital cards is they have no value. And that's why I have been hesitant to spend any money.
If I spend $100 on actual cards at the store I have a good chance of getting cards that can be sold back, digital not so much.
There is a very active ccg scene where I live. Might just have to start playing again.
Me too!
blue : https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/arena_standard-mono-blue-tempo-75036#arena only 4 rare and extremely good
red : https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/arena_standard-mono-red-aggro-77378#arena 11 rares and super good aswell
you can build the blue one very quickly and start climbing and winning a lot. makes it very easy and fast to get your daily gold quests.
Will give one of those a go
oh and you can import/export decks easily if you didn't know. on the link i posted, there is an option to 'export to mtg arena', click on that and follow the instructions.

Well looks like I'm showing up for the next expansion too. Great implementation of Magic btw for those that like the game. Easily the best digital version to date.
there aren't many ways to do that in a more efficient manner than netdecking an easy to build deck.
and if you want to make funky creations after that, you will be able to do it since the deck you are using to get your daily pack allows you to do it in less than an hour and it only cost you less than 10 rare wildcards.
the second most glaring issue imo with mtga is 2 color lands and their rarity.
these should be the only thing you unlock in your boosters until you have a playset of each one and then back to normal booster rng. or sell a starter pack with all duals for all i care or have land only wildcards. there are plenty of ways to solve this issue.
land scarcity is imo the number one limiter to brewing fun decks, building competitive decks and limiting the feeling of despair when you burn your rare wildcards for the 20 something dual lands you need in your tricolor deck.
Until they do this, I like my good old card stock that I can do what I want with.
That being said, I haven't bought a single magic card since the Invasion expansion. I guess that after playing it since middle school when Alpha came out I just got bored eventually.
