I'm just going to copy another users review because he worded it perfectly:

There's a lot I want to love about this game because I love MTG. The graphics and (mostly) auto-resolution of card mechanic interactions make the game more approachable and easier than ever to learn.

That said, do NOT buy or play this game. MTG was already a pay to play game.. it always has been. Unfortunately, Arena takes that predatory model to new heights. They've introduced so many "match making" rules and levers behind the scenes... anyone that has played physical TMG should notice that it is anything but an organic experience.

This game is basically a casino re-skinned as Magic the Gathering. You're wasting your time and money trying to scratch an itch that will leave you with nothing but regret.
