Magic the Gathering?

Magic- Duels of the Planewalkers. I've never played it but I've seen people play and it looks fun so I'm intrigued to buy it from PSN store. 

 

Questions  though, is it easy to get into as total newbie?:Wink: I suppose lot of people still play it and getting games should be easy?

Re: Magic the Gathering?

Also, is it exactly same as the real card game?

Haven't played the real card game, but the PSN version is easy to understand. Give it a few days and you'll be getting right into it mate. Many hours have been placed into this game, so well worth the asking price IMO.

Re: Magic the Gathering?

It's pretty much like the table game, but if you're well versed with that there are some annoying niggles, and has some really good modes on the 2012 version (older one's not as good). But the learning curve isn't too harsh, the Mrs managed to do quite well after not playing the game for about 3yrs, and the tutorial is really good.

you unlock more cards with each opponent you defeat and can then customise your deck with the new cards. Archenemy works well, including the event cards for the AE player, and 2HG is fun with a mate especially if you both know alot about the cards so you can build a good strategy. And there's a good mix of colours, sets and decks throughout the card list.

Bad points. You can't chose how to tap your mana/land, which is really annoying when you're using a mixed deck and you're trying to hold back some colour for a "Cancel" or "Remove Soul" trick. And you need to be careful on how quickly the timer goes down, make sure you pause the timer while you figure out you next move carefully.

All in all, as above, well worth the price.

PS add me if you fancy a game after a bit of practice :smileyhappy:
