When is WotC going to get their shit together and give us a proper Magic video game? MTGO is shit and expensive, Duels is shit but in a different way.
>>
>>332474690
Updated Shandalar would be the absolute tits.
>>
MTGO minus the retarded economy would actually be pretty good if they spent a bit of time on improving the client.
>>
>>332474690
why make a good free game when mtgo makes a bunch of money? They just need to improve mtgo
>>
>>332475231
Hearthstone is technically free but makes a shitton of money from pack sales. Magic should learn from its example.

Just play xmage

What they need to do is print another God damn UN-Set I hate what mtg has become
It's no longer about the fun

>>332475813
sorry goy, but we are now announcing the next set: Battles Over Kamigawa, featuring our newest mechanic, Triple faced cards!
>>
>>332475354
They "Tried" with duels. But they outsourced it to that shit company that can't code to save their lives and then slapped arbitrary restrictions on card-listings, fucked up update timers and only offered a small pool of cards. No marketing didn't help and servers were a fucking mess for weeks.

It all boils down to they don't take it seriously. If they took it heart-attack serious and actually developed a game with 6-8 sets worth of cards, multiple formats(draft,sealed,limited,standard,Commander...etc) and had a decent pricing model hearthstone would actually have competiton.

>>332476038
You joke but another Wizards card game, Duel Masters, literally has triple-faced cards.

what you don't like having a justice league going around and making the story all about five random fucksticks instead of anything interesting?
>>
>>332474690
I don't know man, it's just stupid how they are wasting time tapping into the gaming market

They could stomp hearthstone with a well made game with all the cards covered and they'd make shit tonnes of money if they apply a similar style of ability to buy booster packs

I suppose WotC are still living in full nostalgia hanging on to running their friday night magic and don't see how much digital card games are raking in the dollar

That or they could just fucking overhaul MTGO since it still looks like its from the 90s
>>
>>332475813
If you're looking for wacky things Magic isn't the place you should search (at least for now).
there's other card games that are basically magic clones and they go for the "weird" route rather than the "Oh-so-serious" route that we have now.
>>
>>332475354
its easier to be f2p in hearthstone as you only need 2 or 1 of each card and you can turn bad cards into better cards with enough time. The game is very F2P friendly.

There is really no way to do that on mtgo. You are forced to put money down to start using it($10 that gets you some starter stuff) and to actually start playing games you have to put money down to buy a deck or to draft.

wizards are very unlikely to make mtgo possible to be played ftp.

>>332475813
The only good thing about un-sets are the full art lands.

You could rebuild the game or make a new game to make it work

If I were to make a game with a F2P / pay for boosters like hearthstone I'd release at as a new game like this:

Release it free with every new player getting a deck builders toolkit of some set and something like 3 boosters
You get a booster of whatever set of your choice per x games similar to hearthstone
Or you can shell out for booster bundles, prebuilt decks, toolkits, basically anything in the magic franchise
Then simply add in an ability to trade cards (or do a hearthstone like feature, fuck it works)

The amount of new players they'd gain from making something fresh, marketed and with a path from free users moving to paying users would bring in so much more dosh for them than MTGO does

The planes would make for a cool RPG too, the settings/concepts are more interesting than most RPGs I see these days

I'd love a game about Karn

Wizards can't release anything that could end mtgo as it would piss off a bunch of people due to their collections and the value they have.

Boy this Un-sets are made of gold. why no one told me that Wizards actually knew how to make humor?

But the Un-sets were purposely made because the game was getting way too competitive
>>
>>332474690
Will WotC ever make another set like this again?
>>
>>332478842
and when was the last time you saw a un-set being released?
>>
>>332478760
Unless that doesn't actually go in your main deck, that's unreal levels of retarded
>>
>>332474690
As soon as they can properly monetize it.

>>332478453
Is this card real? Because I want it to be real.

If you watch the video he mentions the card is kept outside your deck in a holding zone before being pulled into play.

>>332479092
Exactly after the Mirrodin Cycle which is the most broken block since Urza

>>332479359
From a joke set. Not tourney playable or anything, but its real.

you know I often despite people who plays JTCGs but this thing is eleven levels of WHAT that it actually becomes cool. Good for them

WOTC is physically incapable of producing a quality digital product. All the pieces are they the just refuse to put them together and make something good and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

are you looking for a fun, not shittilly made, not extremely dumbed-down, not prohobitively expensive card game to play online? Well, how about one with a lot of depth and strategic play, that's easy to play and learn but extremely hard to master?

And what if I told you that it only has a few furfaggy characters that their investors forced into the game by paying a lot of money for them to be there, AND that all those shitty fanfic characters all suck and you'll probably never see them in-game?

Then may I recommend Duelyst, an interesting and engaging card game that plays well, is actually somewhat fucking hard and moderately complicated, unlike Hearthstone or Duels, doesn't rely on a shit-ton of RNG like Hearthstone, and doesn't cost 20,000 dollars to play on an interface that looks like it was created by a toddler like MTGO?

Try it today! It's free*
*relies on Hearthstone's model, but with far more reasonable costs all around, You could never spend a buck and still do very well. Just don't play Vetruvian.

OK, shilling over, you may go back about your day. I sure must love my job, because I only get paid cents on the post to do this...

Seriously though, it's pretty good. Just don't pick Vetruvian. Or Songhai. Basically, don't be an obnoxious little shit.
>>
>>332480782
Hey... I like Vetruvian.
Call me when they plan to release a new set or something.

I prefer rather play Spellweaboo(weaver) or Runespace legends.

>>332480782
I played this with my brother where I made a deck with a bunch of ranged songhai cards in it and shot his dudes to pieces which made him so upset that he uninstalled it.

For real though how do you look at your graveyard and your opponent at the same time?
