You would expect Hasbro or Wizards Of The Coast to run Magic the Gathering, but you are wrong. Shops like StarCityGames have ruined MTG by making the game too costly for kids and young adults to enter and play without spending $700-$1000 just to play standard FNM.
For $400 one can buy an xbox360, 1 yr subscription to xbox live and 5-8 games
Or a PS3 and 3-4 games
those shops are giving kickbacks to the designers and destroying the Hasbro company at same time
Okay I just purchased Magic the Gathering duels of the planeswalkers 2012 version, but not the original Magic the gathering duels of the planeswalkers, however I have a question, may sound dumb, but I was wondering about the dlc expansions 1,2, and 3 from the first original version that was released, are those compatiable with the new version? Or are the two versions of separate games altogether?
@SaggyBawlz This game goes way back into the 80s and 90s as a card game. It was a bit omre complicated and strategy based than both pokemon and yugioh and attracted the most intense card players. As a kid i got hooked on this game. In my area there were to comics/card stores that held tournaments and i foud myself somewhat of a prodigy placing very well in them being 11 years old and facing people well into there 20s and 30s i havnt placed much since then and this videogame is offering a comebac
@feefee8 same here man i got hooked on a lot of card games like yugioh and pokemon but when i got into magic this took over i still play now actually and its still fun
Played the trial of this game on my PS3 and I'm quite impressed. To add up, I this was the first time I have EVER played Magic: The Gathering. And... I really like the whole concept of this installment. Although, the trial is very limited and I can't say too much, but it's still a very good game for newbies and veterans alike. Finally, it's quite cheap :)
@MithranArkanere firstly i thought your'e trying to say magic the gathering is bad. and you shouldnt say that simply because it is the one of the oldest and the best tournament card game out there. the real life cards arent just paper they actually the finest quality paper in that they're quite plasticy. simple games like this and chess are absolutely fine in non digital format. i do agree however that if they do make a video game for this they might as well add in exciting animations.
@echoskybound Im 13 and I just came back from an overnight camp where I learned how to play magic (the camp wasn't MTG related at all) in 1 day. There, we had a "closed-deck tournament" (that means they supply you with a deck or 2 if you don't have any) and aproxcemetly 60 out of 150 kids ages 8-15 competed against eachother. So you see, it is still VERY popular among kids.
I'd played MTG back in 1997-2006 and yugioh! from 2000-2009 and both are grate games so i have no idea what you guys are arguing about. fan boys need to grow up!
I love this game but I wish they did a better job on the deck editor, I hate how you can barely even customize your decks. Also, there needs to be more decks! :D
@TheMeta88 LOLOLOL YOU DID NOT JUST SAY CHEAP YUGIOH RIPOFF LMAO YUGIOH WAS A RIP OFF OF THIS LOL , MAGIC CAME OUT WAY BEFORE YUGIOH, THIS IS JUST A NEW "GAME" THE ACTUALLY CARDS ARE WAY BEFORE YUGIOH( I dont hate Yuigioh BTW)
@lordkamper infant? well then arnt u intelligent. i was only brought up with yu gi oh. i never heard of magic gathering. i guess it must have....sucked.
@TheMeta88 There are a lot of great tabletop games I hadn't played until recently, it doesn't mean they're bad. Magic's been around since the early 90's, and Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh came out around ten years later. Yu Gi Oh is a bigger seller I think, Magic is a little more on the complicated side, probably not as popular among the younger audience these days.
Thanks for leaving the sound in. I'm on the fence about getting this but could stand not to hear the Diablo town portal, Dark Forces grenades, and Doom imps over and over again in yet another game.
@gamersAproductions I started playing it when I was a kid, I'm still not really mature now and still play it. It's colorful, cute, has cool monsters... everything needed to attract kids =)
MAGIC THE GATHERING SONG -Raveyard- Its a aggrotech song about magic the gathering. With real nerdy lyrics-. Go to my profile to listen to it. Its the top video. CHECK IT OUT ;)
Quick question, I'm relatively new to Magic, and I have the gist of everything and such, but one effect I'm not sure about is the "Fear" effect. What does it do exactly?
It's dumb that this Xbox game makes it look like damage dealt causes the victim's toughness to decrease. Without wither, that does not happen and no creature in Standard has wither. It's not the toughness that decreases, it's the damage marked that increases. Get this wrong and you won't understand that one means destruction and the other means a mere ticket to the graveyard. There's a difference.
That is exactly my point. That is why the toughness should not decrease, because it's not Wither. So why does this game show the toughness decreasing as if the creatures had wither?
Achem.. just to avoid misinformation, here ya go everyone. Official MTG 2010 rule book glossary definition for destroy:
"To move a permanent from the battlefield to its owner's graveyard. Creatures are destroyed when they've taken damage equal to or greater than their toughness..."
To be destroyed, is to go to the graveyard.. there's no difference.
And toughness does lower through combat damage, if it didn't, what would be the point of the clean up step?
You need to read rule 701.6b - to destroy means to move a permanent to the graveyard but vise versa is not necessarily true. See rules 704.5f, g and h. Notice that rules g and h concern "destruction" while rule f does not (as I said before, there's a difference). This is why the event described in rule f cannot be replaced by regeneration nor ignored by "indestructibility."
guh. good call. i was callin out of the basic r00l book XD.
i just started last week and wanted to sound like i knew something. fail. thanks for that knowledge though, now i know before i go tackle some fnm! =]
this game looks coll cant wait to get xbox live this christmas but can u get like every card know or what? cause if there is only pre-made decks than thats lame :(
just get some real cards, meet some of your friend and have fun playing a trading card game...i think a CARD game, THE card game, should not be transformed into some kind of bad, soul less crap like this.
actually me, personally i love this game, so what if they are pre assigned decks, and i personally love the original card game i hav a sick vamp deck at home. but still, i like how you dont need to debate about rules when they shuffle the deck for you, dont cheat and give you a good hand with balanced mana. and yes i dont like it that you cant customize your deck :( so i agree but i think over all the game is good but card game better
so, this is basically wizards gateway drug into buying the physical cards. i hear you can't customize your decks and you have limited control over your resources,etc. amirite?
Actually from personal experience with atleast the demo the tutorial does help explain what to do. They also highlight cards you can currently use at the time. In game "time out" system to think of what to do. And a Experience/ Novice deck system that doesn't allow to much customization but gives you decent decks to work with. personally I felt a little hurt that I couldn't make my own deck but I found a deck that is close to mine.
I see a lot of posts where people are having problems with the rules being too complex. The only real way to understand the rules is to just keep playing and practicing. More experienced players will help you understand as you go. MtG can take awhile to understand. I have been playing for more than ten years and I still get hung up on some of the rulings.
I love ignorant dipshits like SteevisPeevis. People like him who are just jealous because they have about as much brains as they do penis (see: none) and can't fathom playing anything that requires more strategy than Chutes and Ladders.
It's okay though, Steeve. We won't make fun of what a retarded, friendless, life-long virgin you are. Why, that would just be mean.
Protip: what won't get you laid is that pathetic name-calling way of arguing. You look just as retarded as he does. It's like a contest to see who can make their own side look worse.
There are plenty of reasons why Magic is awesome. The strategy in building a deck from thousands of cards. Playing requires tactics, deciding when to play cards to balance short-term vs. long-term, and a bit of a random element to keep things interesting.
If you can't argue properly then don't make us look bad
Protip: I don't really need protips on arguing or getting laid from you. Trust me.
I have every bit as much of a right to say what I'm saying you do. We don't need a nursery maid in here. So go play one on someone else's time.
The point of my earlier post that the guy is a brainless asshole that can't comprehend a game like MTG so he makes fun of those who can. I've seen his kind before.
Yeah I know his kind and I see them all the time as well and hate them as much as you do but the solution isn't becoming an even bigger brainless asshole. I love MtG and appreciate you defending it, but pretend you're fighting him with a blue deck instead of a red one ;)
Well that makes them idiots. They don't deserve the pleasure of your time nor the victory of bringing you to their level.
There's nothing more frustrating to a bully than someone who calmly stands their ground when they're picked on. They want you to acknowledge their superiority, so if you want to piss them off, calmly respond to their words like they're as much threat as flies. They can't resort to violence on the internet, and if they do in reality you'll get more support for being civil.
Do most people just stick to the basic rules cuz I just looked through the "comprehensive" rules and holy shit I understand it less than my quantum mechanics course.
Well generally it's just basic rules with every sentence followed by "unless the card states otherwise." Comprehensive rules are brought out when there's a dispute about how a certain effect behaves and are only used as a sort of encyclopedia.
An aura is an object so this rule is basically saying "Objects unattach, even auras, but not auras." Also, do these objects unattach spontaneously so that attaching them is like sticking a piece of paper to a fridge without a magnet. Lol. I've already begun reading the "basic rules". They are too basic. They don't even tell you what happens when a creatures blocks multiple attackers. So I have a choice, "too basic" or "nonsensical". I choose both but it's confusing.
Well a creature can't block multiple attackers... Unless there's some card that says it can, and then you would simply play it out normally with each side distributing damage they receive like what happens with banding or when multiple creatures block one attacker.
And I'm assuming the rule is "Objects unattach, except auras." In that case it's simple, they're pointing out an exception. What's the problem with auras being objects? It wouldn't make sense to say "except auras" if it wasn't.
To paraphrase, it states "All objects unattach. And similarly, all objects except auras unattach." Two different and complete sentences. That's the equivalent of saying, "All objects unattach. No, not all objects unattach." I KNOW auras are an exception cuz they have to be but the point is I am forced to reject what the rules say because the rules make no sense. I was saying auras being an exception makes sense. But the rules don't because the rules say they are and also aren't an exception.
I imagined this game soooo diferent, i mean when you play in real life you feel like a planeswalker in the top of an obelisk with a lot of lands at the bottom an Great creatures over these lands vs another planeswalker and..... in this game... just a simple animation of the cards -.-
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
my friends have started playing this.. (well people on my friends list) and i am glad i make fun of them.. what fucking fags.. this is the shit that prevents you from getting laid.. Im sure a girl would rather walk in on you playing cod4 gta4 or ANYTHING else other than this..
I'm sorry guys but..cmon..
Dont bother replying back to this comment.. you will just make up lies and say you get laid a lot. IDFC... just please... get out more :)
Well, i don't play this game... I play with the actual cards, and still get laid... why shouldn't anyone get laid because they play it on xbox instead? Girls do stuff guys don't like, but they still get laid... No difference, it's just finding the right girl/girls D:
thats even worse playing with the cards... yea and girls do stuff we hate but there is a thing we men call a male sexual drive... we need that pussy to survive... woman can use dildos all they want.. they dont need some nasty man to satisfy their sexual needs.
let me guess.. you guys play dungeons and dragons too!!!!
I was playing cards with my little brother just a few hours ago (i'm 16 he 12)and with my bad english and all can understand a little about the conversation.
lol at you guys fighting for this shit you are so gay
and steevis, i'm not sure buddy ,but i think a "you tube guy" with colorful profile, videos etc and answering every post with less of 4 hours of difference has less chances to get a girl srsly .
let me guess ... you have a lot of friends on facebook too!!!
I guess you're the kind of guy where everything that matters is pussy, drinking and being a dickhead?.
And no, i don't play dungeons and dragons or anything else.. I just enjoy spending time with a game of magic every now and then when i have time off work. If you think people playing this game don't get any pussy, think again.
An no, we don't need pussy! Gay people are an example of that, they survive just fine without. Go somewhere else if you think those who plays it is gay or w/e you think
I wonder where the world would be if everyone justified their existence by the number of whores they've stuck their dick into. Any girl worth having is going to want just as much stimulation between her ears as between her legs, if you can even comprehend that sentence.
I'm still trying it out but it seems to be that you start with a certain *base* deck, and you build *on* that. So you can never remove the base cards, but you can put stuff on top of it.
Which I don't think is very good really. Even though I'm an MTG newb (coming from Yu-Gi-Oh), I can see I'll grow tired of the set cardbase after a while.
No, you can only add onto the existing decks, so even though you might want to create a 60 card deck, in this game you end up with an 80 card deck or even worse. It has NO full deck editor to allow you to create your own truely custom deck.
It's true, WoTC holds an iron grip on their cards. Why make a game that allows you to customize your own decks when they could have you pay to make your own REAL decks, or pay on MTG online. Hopefully they release a DLC allowing deck customization, but at this point it's pure specialization. What you do is unlock cards to add to your deck. This however runs the problem of bloating your deck with some useless cards, although because of the way some games play, ridiculous cards help long game.
Amazing... I mean... My monitor melted due to the awesome intensity. O_O

Never played Magic: the Gathering. Always wanted to, even had some cards once, but never played.
Right now, I live in a place where there is no possibility of playing IRL. So I thought about getting this game.
Is experience necessary?
Is this like playing IRL?
I will be moving to somewhere civilized in a matter of few years, so I want to get started.

Paper is something for the old centuries.
I would have made it look better.
The table would be a landscape, and the lands each side takes would change their landscape.
And the summoned creatures and spells would appear in the landscape.
As it is, it's just digitalized paper. Calling that a videogame it's like calling a Kindle 'portable videogame console'.

Quick question, I'm relatively new to Magic, and I have the gist of everything and such, but one effect I'm not sure about is the "Fear" effect. What does it do exactly?
Country0Metal0Boy 2 years ago
"Fear" makes your creature blockable by black and/or artifact creatures only.
LeMal84 2 years ago
@Country0Metal0Boy A creature with fear can only be blocked by black creatures or artifact creatures, if memory serves.

It's dumb that this Xbox game makes it look like damage dealt causes the victim's toughness to decrease. Without wither, that does not happen and no creature in Standard has wither. It's not the toughness that decreases, it's the damage marked that increases. Get this wrong and you won't understand that one means destruction and the other means a mere ticket to the graveyard. There's a difference.

Wither puts -1-1 counters, this doesnt
Ballinlolz 2 years ago
That is exactly my point. That is why the toughness should not decrease, because it's not Wither. So why does this game show the toughness decreasing as if the creatures had wither?
SandBarAndYou 2 years ago
Achem.. just to avoid misinformation, here ya go everyone. Official MTG 2010 rule book glossary definition for destroy:
"To move a permanent from the battlefield to its owner's graveyard. Creatures are destroyed when they've taken damage equal to or greater than their toughness..."
To be destroyed, is to go to the graveyard.. there's no difference.
And toughness does lower through combat damage, if it didn't, what would be the point of the clean up step?
okay and nerdrage and flaming begins

@glovaxlr
You need to read rule 701.6b - to destroy means to move a permanent to the graveyard but vise versa is not necessarily true. See rules 704.5f, g and h. Notice that rules g and h concern "destruction" while rule f does not (as I said before, there's a difference). This is why the event described in rule f cannot be replaced by regeneration nor ignored by "indestructibility."

this game looks coll cant wait to get xbox live this christmas but can u get like every card know or what? cause if there is only pre-made decks than thats lame :(
florida12341000 2 years ago
just get some real cards, meet some of your friend and have fun playing a trading card game...i think a CARD game, THE card game, should not be transformed into some kind of bad, soul less crap like this.
HeartcoreBass 2 years ago 2
actually me, personally i love this game, so what if they are pre assigned decks, and i personally love the original card game i hav a sick vamp deck at home. but still, i like how you dont need to debate about rules when they shuffle the deck for you, dont cheat and give you a good hand with balanced mana. and yes i dont like it that you cant customize your deck :( so i agree but i think over all the game is good but card game better
HyperChief117 2 years ago
if you cant customize your deck this game is bad
(by the way i think the old rules were better too)
girl69dirty 2 years ago 2
so, this is basically wizards gateway drug into buying the physical cards. i hear you can't customize your decks and you have limited control over your resources,etc. amirite?

Is this game with the latest rules? cuz to be honest i hate the new rules.
kincrazy 2 years ago
Actually from personal experience with atleast the demo the tutorial does help explain what to do. They also highlight cards you can currently use at the time. In game "time out" system to think of what to do. And a Experience/ Novice deck system that doesn't allow to much customization but gives you decent decks to work with. personally I felt a little hurt that I couldn't make my own deck but I found a deck that is close to mine.
BaeBunni 2 years ago
I see a lot of posts where people are having problems with the rules being too complex. The only real way to understand the rules is to just keep playing and practicing. More experienced players will help you understand as you go. MtG can take awhile to understand. I have been playing for more than ten years and I still get hung up on some of the rulings.
bigd23608 2 years ago
so i take it this game is more like the trading card game and not like that wierd magic the gathering game that was for the xbox and pc (i think)?

I love ignorant dipshits like SteevisPeevis. People like him who are just jealous because they have about as much brains as they do penis (see: none) and can't fathom playing anything that requires more strategy than Chutes and Ladders.
It's okay though, Steeve. We won't make fun of what a retarded, friendless, life-long virgin you are. Why, that would just be mean.
PrinceSephiroth 2 years ago
Protip: what won't get you laid is that pathetic name-calling way of arguing. You look just as retarded as he does. It's like a contest to see who can make their own side look worse.
There are plenty of reasons why Magic is awesome. The strategy in building a deck from thousands of cards. Playing requires tactics, deciding when to play cards to balance short-term vs. long-term, and a bit of a random element to keep things interesting.
If you can't argue properly then don't make us look bad
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago
Protip: I don't really need protips on arguing or getting laid from you. Trust me.
I have every bit as much of a right to say what I'm saying you do. We don't need a nursery maid in here. So go play one on someone else's time.
The point of my earlier post that the guy is a brainless asshole that can't comprehend a game like MTG so he makes fun of those who can. I've seen his kind before.
PrinceSephiroth 2 years ago
Yeah I know his kind and I see them all the time as well and hate them as much as you do but the solution isn't becoming an even bigger brainless asshole. I love MtG and appreciate you defending it, but pretend you're fighting him with a blue deck instead of a red one ;)
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago
Oh, I get it! Calm, cool, collected, stopping his moves before he makes one. lol
OMG, I'M A GEEK. Anyway, I guess I see your point. I just hated my kind of crowd being made fun of all the time for being different.
PrinceSephiroth 2 years ago
Well that makes them idiots. They don't deserve the pleasure of your time nor the victory of bringing you to their level.
There's nothing more frustrating to a bully than someone who calmly stands their ground when they're picked on. They want you to acknowledge their superiority, so if you want to piss them off, calmly respond to their words like they're as much threat as flies. They can't resort to violence on the internet, and if they do in reality you'll get more support for being civil.
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago 2
Do most people just stick to the basic rules cuz I just looked through the "comprehensive" rules and holy shit I understand it less than my quantum mechanics course.
SandBarAndYou 2 years ago 2
Well generally it's just basic rules with every sentence followed by "unless the card states otherwise." Comprehensive rules are brought out when there's a dispute about how a certain effect behaves and are only used as a sort of encyclopedia.
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago 2
I read rule 704.5q.
An aura is an object so this rule is basically saying "Objects unattach, even auras, but not auras." Also, do these objects unattach spontaneously so that attaching them is like sticking a piece of paper to a fridge without a magnet. Lol. I've already begun reading the "basic rules". They are too basic. They don't even tell you what happens when a creatures blocks multiple attackers. So I have a choice, "too basic" or "nonsensical". I choose both but it's confusing.
SandBarAndYou 2 years ago
Well a creature can't block multiple attackers... Unless there's some card that says it can, and then you would simply play it out normally with each side distributing damage they receive like what happens with banding or when multiple creatures block one attacker.
And I'm assuming the rule is "Objects unattach, except auras." In that case it's simple, they're pointing out an exception. What's the problem with auras being objects? It wouldn't make sense to say "except auras" if it wasn't.
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago
To paraphrase, it states "All objects unattach. And similarly, all objects except auras unattach." Two different and complete sentences. That's the equivalent of saying, "All objects unattach. No, not all objects unattach." I KNOW auras are an exception cuz they have to be but the point is I am forced to reject what the rules say because the rules make no sense. I was saying auras being an exception makes sense. But the rules don't because the rules say they are and also aren't an exception.

I'm sorry guys but..cmon..

Well, i don't play this game... I play with the actual cards, and still get laid... why shouldn't anyone get laid because they play it on xbox instead? Girls do stuff guys don't like, but they still get laid... No difference, it's just finding the right girl/girls D:

thats even worse playing with the cards... yea and girls do stuff we hate but there is a thing we men call a male sexual drive... we need that pussy to survive... woman can use dildos all they want.. they dont need some nasty man to satisfy their sexual needs.

and steevis, i'm not sure buddy ,but i think a "you tube guy" with colorful profile, videos etc and answering every post with less of 4 hours of difference has less chances to get a girl srsly .
let me guess ... you have a lot of friends on facebook too!!!

And no, i don't play dungeons and dragons or anything else.. I just enjoy spending time with a game of magic every now and then when i have time off work. If you think people playing this game don't get any pussy, think again.
An no, we don't need pussy! Gay people are an example of that, they survive just fine without. Go somewhere else if you think those who plays it is gay or w/e you think

i heard that you can't make your decks of your choice is this true?
pannari123 2 years ago 2
I'm still trying it out but it seems to be that you start with a certain *base* deck, and you build *on* that. So you can never remove the base cards, but you can put stuff on top of it.
Which I don't think is very good really. Even though I'm an MTG newb (coming from Yu-Gi-Oh), I can see I'll grow tired of the set cardbase after a while.
Nurr0 2 years ago
no you won't, if u play MTG in real it doesn't matter what happens really about deck making, i dunno that's that just the way i feel.
urmomstoxicface 2 years ago
No, you can only add onto the existing decks, so even though you might want to create a 60 card deck, in this game you end up with an 80 card deck or even worse. It has NO full deck editor to allow you to create your own truely custom deck.
DesertRidgeline 2 years ago
its true you can only choose from the decks you unlock
darkenedangels 2 years ago
It's true, WoTC holds an iron grip on their cards. Why make a game that allows you to customize your own decks when they could have you pay to make your own REAL decks, or pay on MTG online. Hopefully they release a DLC allowing deck customization, but at this point it's pure specialization. What you do is unlock cards to add to your deck. This however runs the problem of bloating your deck with some useless cards, although because of the way some games play, ridiculous cards help long game.
