It looks just like Eternal, which looks like every other digital card game. Which isn't a bad thing, they let everyone else do the hard design work and ripped off them just like every other game ripped off Magic's... everything else. I could definitely play this as long as I could turn off the sound effects and tone down the animations. I wish tapping had a better indication, but as I'm reading chat this is the number one thing people are complaining about (that isn't just "Hearthstone is better"). I think they're saying they want Arena to be Standard and sealed and draft with Standard-legal sets, and MTGO will still be used for other formats. I bet by next year we'll start to see some indication as to which program they plan phase out and which one they plan to keep, depending on how popular Arena is. If they start announcing older sets for the game or Modern support, sell your MTGO cards if you have any. Edit: Planeswalkers have voice lines when ETB.

Well I'm glad I liquidated my mtgo collection literally last night. Thanks to whoever recommended mtgotraders over the other options, I got an extra $70 out of it.

Oh hey that's actually a way better way to handle blocking order. Also I know I'm in the minority but I like the current tapping implementation. I think it's a good balance between being able to tell what is tapped but still being able to read cards. Necronomicon posted:Or, you know, not letting people transfer their collections from MTGO.

Oh wow, a Gaea's Cradle. 2G legendary enchantment. ETB look at top four and get a creature (I think). EOT if you have four or more creatures, flip it into a Gaea's Cradle that also taps for G.

Old format support might not be enough to keep people coming back to one of the worst interfaces ever made. Collections are going to tank.

I'd say it's more the pricing that's going to turn people off, I'm hearing (on Reddit so take that as you will) that this will be a F2P model.

I'd be thrilled to draft at Eternal $1/pack prices. I'd probably draft at least once a week compared to the $0 magic online gets from me now.

Just this product being able to draft in standard is enough to make this the loving death knell to mtgo. Without drafting new cards entering the system will dwindle.

That Cruise/Full control toggle is going to add a new layer to the game, let's say you had it on cruise control and auto pass for a couple of turns then suddenly activate full control of priority passes, that's going to give away so much info. Can also be used to bluff with I guess. I'd just imagine most people who know what they're doing will just leave full control on.

so on the one hand i want to make fun of this because its very clearly never going to have modern or legacy or anything fun at all on the other hand block constructed has always been one of my favorite formats. but then again block constructed with no purpose whatsoever sounds kind of like a nightmarish hell game

yeah but free to play doesn't mean anything until we see what the method for playing is and acquiring cards is. this is wotc where i fully expect "f2p" to mean that it doesnt cost anything to join events, but you have to buy digital packs to draft with and build your collection

Splitting Standard stuff into Arena and everything else into MTGO sounds like a drat catastrophe incoming unless they're going to cut the price of new set drafts on MTGO. If they're going to keep MTGO alive and aren't going to put every card into Arena at once, MTGO will stay alive just from Pauper/Vintage/Legacy/Modern players, but when they print something like Fatal Push into a new set, if all of the casual players are drafting over in Arena, any new staple cards are going to be extremely overpriced.

Neito posted:What's there to address? It's a pretty clear card. Without a third person judge Cheatyface almost always becomes a "I caught you putting Cheatyface into place" answered by "I snuck it into play last turn, you didn't notice until now" answered by "nah uh." I can't find the article that points out it's the Unhinged card they most regret making.

I wouldn't put too much faith in cheap drafting. I tried Eternal for a bit and discovered that since you can't cash out your draft picks to buy packs, drafting isn't really much cheaper. If this functions in the same way it may well have the same issue.

The fact that modo isn't free to play is really weird. It's a needless barrier to entry. They wouldn't need to change anything about the game.

Standard cards are stable due to redemption, not to mention premiere and ptq and whatever else. Cube is the most popular draft format. A new comprehensive rules engine is perhaps laying the groundwork to eventually replace mtgo, but that is a long way away. I'm certainly not heavily invested in mtgo, and I never would be, but I wouldn't panic. It could actually increase interest in mtgo if it becomes popular enough, who knows, it's still in alpha or beta right?

Modo pricing is completely crippled by set redemption, it's the reason it costs you as much to draft on Modo as it does in the real world. That and the fact that people will pay the ludicrous prices anyway
