It is lame that damage doesn't use the stack anymore. As far as I'm concerned they can fuck off with these unwarranted changes to the core rules of the game. Thought the game was bugged when I attempted to use Fume Spitters properly, but it turns out that WoTC is the one making mistakes.

That aside, there are definitely some interesting decks in here. The new deck your opponent and exalted decks are particularly more synergistic than stuff from the past two planeswalker games. Also, the visual on how much mana a spell will cost is a handy addition.

- they made 3 games instead of making 1 and building on it

- still can't customize your own deck with a collection of cards, first game didn't have it, neither did any other after for some weird reason

*****-------******* The Gameboy Color Pokemon Card Game let you collect cards and build decks and was actually a great role playing game and way to test out your real deck strategies to use in the real card game at the time.

Worst part is people actually buy it, a lot of people buy it, and even GB covers it so it's feeding this horrible message of "this is positive" where it is treating the customer like a TOTAL IDIOT, which we're NOT. I want to collect magic cards and make my own deck like I used to do in the gameboy game, but I can't. Playing with real Magic cards are more fun, but the pokemon card game let me play against computers with the decks I was building in real life, so when I would challenge someone with my real deck, I would have knowledge of my potential builds.

What about paying money for virtual holo cards. Hey people stop doing it theres a reason this is an annual title, sheeple.

One of my friends got me way into this in middle school. Sometime between then and now I either lost or sold my deck of cards. It was so long ago I don't even remember. But these games are making me want to get back into playing.

@jasondesante: If you could make your own decks it would be exactly like Magic The Gathering Online but for $10. If you're complaining about having to pay for each card on MTGO then here's a solution: shut up and ignore it.

When Brad smiles, he kind of looks like a vampire.
