Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013

[M_Wrizzle]

Hey guys

First topic i'm posting on here. Apologies in advance

I have MTGotP 13 on steam and was wondering what your impressions are of the game so far.

I normally play it on my lunch break during my PhD studies if i get the chance or on the way back at night ;-)

I know this game has an easy entry level in what is a game normally with a steep learning curve due to all the different effects and deck building etc.
But i'm enjoying it some what with all the new cards from 2013 core set.

My only gripe with the game is the lack of deck management and being able to have a bit more variety, but for 8.99 on steam I suppose I can't complain

Well if anyone wants a game some time, just add me on steam and maybe if you have mtg online, we can have a match on there too.

Roll the dice= drink.
Roll the planeswalker symbol= everyone drinks.
Roll the.. whatever the other symbol is called (call it the magic anus)=down half your drink or the rest of it if 50% or less remains.

I was up till 2am playing this game last night/this morning. Super fun. I wouldn't recommend playing with random people though. I played a lot of 2012 as well and 2013 is pretty much the exact same game with different decks. Planechase is fun obviously but no co-op campaign and no archenemy is stupid. can't have been that hard to keep all the old stuff in addition to the new. all the decks this time around are pretty awesome except the blue decks got the mega shaft this time. blue is always my favorite color but this time around they've somehow ed it up by having very little control. theres a few bounces and the counterspells are still around, but the focus of one is to deck other people (hilarious against the white lifegain deck i must admit), and the other is just a flying creaturespam deck. in fact chandra's deck, a creature/burn red deck, is a much better control deck than either of the 2 blues. so that really sucks for me.

theres also some super broken shit in multiplayer. for example theres a card in ajani's deck that costs 1 white and becomes a 6/6 flying lifelink when you reach 30 life. well, you start with 30 life in 2 headed giant. turn 1 6/6 flyer with lifelink is ridiculous.
