Magic: The Gathering Arena

PAID TO WIIIIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I haven't played MTG since 1993. I can say 4sure that I have since 2006. It's a game I will teach my kids to play. Since Baldurs Gate. The game has kind of turned to trash. In my opinion. Not following what I would say true MTG aura, or atmosphere. I cant say there weren't a few. In a small degree I could understand the LOTR sets. Marvel though. TNMT....Final Fantasy...like really? I do not know where they found their development team, but they could use some help. Edges of Eternity was pretty cool. That was a interesting take in the MTG multi-verse. Just because its a multi-verse, doesn't necessarily mean we want to see Wolverine. I'm not saying everyone, but I would love to see a real honest to truth poll of what people want. This is not the same game I enjoyed going out to play. The other real problem is unless you really know someone. There is no quick add person your playing as a friend on Arena. The most basic simple action you can include in a multi-player game. NOPE. you need their email. Or their Arena #. Which doesn't show anywhere. Unless i'm retarted, but over 750hrs into it and I haven't figured it out yet. I'm not saying don't play the game. It is truly a unique and cool game. I just will not spend my money on what I think is non-sense sets.

5/10 do not recommend

This game should be A case study on how something can get f'd up as badly as humanly possible. Like seriously, Magic the gathering Arena might be the worst execution of a game ever. In my 30 some odd years of gaming and probably 500+ games played, I can't think of a worse example of how you just miss the dunk on something that could have been legendary if you just followed the directions on what people wanted. Why am I forced to play with Super hero cards? I dont want them! I hate super heros. Why am I not able to play with the cards I bought with real money? Asinine! I want to play with my custom deck, but they simply wont let me! I have to use pre rendered decks! Why?? Why am I spending money on something I cant use? IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE. The cards you can use are 3 years old at the oldest. I JUST DONT GET IT. This is a ♥♥♥♥ up of epic purportions

I'm giving this game a negative review solely due to it not having "Battle Hymn" or "Brightstone Ritual" for timeless. Other reasons I don't like it but were not the deciding factor. *facing the same meta builds every other match makes me think I'm playing against robots. (you're not going to include the cards I listed above but you're going to let players drop a 15/15 eldrazi with another turn on turn 2? I'm not playing the game your way you turd wranglers.) *I've never trusted a computer with shuffling cards. *Why are the card packs up to a hundred dollars? You're just getting garbage.

The unrelenting torrent of puss and bile that is Universes Beyond has made the game extremely unappealing. Those that are driven to infinitely consume Marvel products due to forces beyond their control have moved in, there is no longer a game of skill, only a game of "Who can buy the most Thano's sphincter images" or "Do you remember THIS cartoon?" left. Just play it in person, find online groups and other methods of playing the game. Arena was at one point fun, quick, and convenient even if it was missing a load of cards and still is (don't worry there's still spiderman png's being added) these days its longer to find games, decks are usually uninspired, the "put all my avatar and TMNT cards in a pile and DC when my commander dies once" type of player has come to be financially bled to death on the alter of sin that is playing a TGC and WotC have never been happier.

The most predatory and scamiest monetization system in human history... New player gate keep, you wont progress anywhere unless you pay big $$$. Matchmaking system is horrible, you will be matched with veterans in early ranks, gl winning vs broken $$$ decks. Dont waste your money playing this sht unless you trying to waste time at work, go touch grass or play better game.
