Magic: The Gathering pretty good?

[Setharion]

I know they are card based rpgs but are they fairly easy and fun to get into? I see alot playing it on Steam and im curious about them.

I use to play it a good amount. It's not bad and very easy to learn. It does get repetitive and there isn't much story as I remember.

If your looking for a good card based rpg then I recommend either Neverland Card Battles (PSP), Eye of Judgement (PSP), or Culdcept Saga (Xbox360)

[Setharion]

I actually have Culdcept on 360 that I've never put it in! Definitly worth it?

[hainesdogg]

Yeah i enjoyed Culdcept a lot. It's a card rpg mixed with board game and it works nicely. Definitely a hidden gem on the Xbox 360.

Man - I liked Culdcept, but it was freakin' hard! I only got a few battles in and got stuck...tried the same battle about 3-4 times and gave up

I did like MTG though. Just haven't gotten back to playing it.

as a person that has played the real card game for many years.. I wasn't a fan of the video game (well except MTGO) there wasn't enough deck customization

[Setharion]

How does Magic the Gathering the video game work though? Is it like where you just have battles, i dont get the concept of building a deck...can you guys break it down a bit, thanks

[Eradiani]

well I am not sure about the latest expansion.. but essentially you choose a starter deck and you have a quest mission line.. which unlocks more cards to customize the deck.. however you can't really customize it like a real magic deck (you could only replace cards with the new ones)

at least that's what I recall from when I played it last.

I only gave it a very short trial as it was too frustrating for the true magic enthusiast


I hear this last expac is better in some customization aspects but I'm a sad panda from my original experience with it

[Setharion]

I love the concept and idea, but ive never played the card game before so its new to me. But in trying the demo i was with it until it started mixing cards and stuff, i just feel like a loser when some games seem to go beyond what im grasping at the moment.

Its not that i cant learn it, its that i get so antsy to learn it i have a hard time stopping and really soaking up the info to learn the rules etc...

This.

If I could build my black spinning graveyard deck... or some variation of it... in the online game, I might give it another try.
