It is great most of the time

When the game is functioning properly it is a great
Game and a lot of fun. However it crashes a lot and sometimes just doesn’t feel like working.

Fun Game but crashes constantly

Playing on iOS, was about to win in standard ranked, crashed 3 times in a row and then I tried to get back in and was booted from
the game. Not sure why but this game crashes constantly.

Pretty Good

Good game but if I were the developers I would lighten up a little on the difficulty of the final tutorial match. I’m sure
you’re losing some possible players because of this.

Great

Awesome way to learn magic before committing to the physical game. Even better way to get a full experience with out having to
spend any real money to get great cards

2 stars at best.

Only rated it 5 so you could see it; this app is extremely and obviously rigged. The deck shuffler gives you only lands one game,
only creatures the next, and it goes on repeat with maybe 30% of the time it being evenly and honestly shuffled. Great game, trash
app.

An Incredible Magic Experience with a Responsive D

Congratulations to the whole team who make MTGA a reality. It’s a phenomenal experience of Magic for new players and old ones
like me. It allows us to play more with a wide variety of experiences. The new features and overall upgrades and stability have
been incredible.

It’s good but…

The indie development company has done a great job for the most part. Their RNG needs work, and they need to talk to the poker god
and tell him to visit less often. Also make stuff cheaper…

Finally able to learn

I always wanted to learn how to play magic since I was I to Yu-Go-Oh and all that. And since I got this app gotta admit loved it.
And still do to this day so thanks for finally letting me play and against people too! 🥹

Great game

Love playing and developing my skill. Its not entirely pay to win either. I play the ranked historic and do well without having
put any money into it. Only 4 star because the game does freeze but its usually easy to catch. Just need to close out and restart.

Lemon is sun jets

The first time you have a chance at the top is the second one you get a free pass and you can go on your way back and then go to
your car to pick it out of there so I don’t have any money for that and I can get it back and you could get tyytyt

Great Game

This is the best way to play Magic without physical cards. The only bad thing is they do not keep on top of making sure the
software works properly. For example, for years playing Arena on a M1 Mac is cuts off 1/3 of the graphics. There is no way to
solve
This issue.

Last 2 sets

Been playing magic since it all started unfortunately the last 2 sets I personally feel have ruined the game. Although I will
still play it just won’t be as often at all.

No real cards no problem

When I got into magic I didn’t even have cards or a gameStore near me, the closest one was an hour and thirty minutes away, but
now I can play magic on my phone and I love it.

This is definitely the best magic game made yet. I love all the aspects of the game. My only request is to add in more game modes,
like 2 headed giant or even a 4 player free for all. Just a thought, keep up the great work! 👍

Honestly, most of the games glitches have been fixed. The only problem with the game is that it’s hard to do things without
paying money. It’s a good way to play magic.

Love this game but

Great game just can’t figure how how to tap on the actual opponent when the card says to do so to tap all their creatures. If I
tap on the character picture, just shows mute or unmute. Not sure

Magic The Gathering Best Online Card Game

I really love what they have done with this game. I play on iPad and PC and really enjoy it. I’ve never really been able to play
in table matches for lack of locations. This is a great way to play with standard rules and online only changes and patches.

Please…fix the mobile app connection issues. 70% of the times I attempt to open the app, it tells me it couldn’t secure a

Needs some work…

Used this app to get into MTG. Doesn’t explain things in enough detail to fully learn the finer mechanics of the game to
optimize decision making. AND NEEDS TO ADD A DISMANTLING OPTION FOR CARDS YOU DON’T USE!

Look how they massacred my boy

Magic meets hearthstone. Nearly as expensive as playing in paper. No agency over collection or way to extract your investment. F2P
takes daily login to obtain maximum F2P rewards. F2P weekly rewards max out fast. Alchemy is a mistake.

Clunky sign up

I haven’t used the app yet, the account creation in the app is clunky and I didn’t feel like completing it. No apple sign in,
password and email auto fill don’t work. Maybe I’ll try again at some point on my laptop. I don’t feel like running around
copying and pasting atm.

Please fix playing with friends

The game is very fun and provides the opportunity for new and old MTG players to have fun. However, trying to play with friends is
very buggy as it never works. You get the request and you can select your deck but that’s as far as it goes. Please fix this!

Great but could be better

The only thing i have to say is why isn't there a 2V2 or a 1V4 u know how fun that would be also i wish there was a way to test
commander decks like if the bot had a commander deck to fight u with

Best of one is not magic.

Arena is nice to get some games in if that’s all you’re trying to do but if you’re looking to play competitively, “best of
one” is a joke and has nothing to do with actual magic play

Great game, but app builds are inconsistent

Every other update seems to mess with the app. If your not playing on Wi-Fi there is no reason to even attempt ranked. Even
worse if you switch off of Wi-Fi mid match you need to hard restart to reconnect. I write this review now as I was DCd and am
unable to relog.

Been playing MTG for years on computer and it should be easier on an iPad, but it isn’t. Not sure why other CTG games are able
to get the interface right, while MTG continues to struggle.

Playing this on mobile is a like a dream come true, until you hit all the bugs. The UI was clearly not optimized for touchscreen.
It’s passable at the best of times, and near unplayable at its worst.

Keep banning any popular card that people like to

This is a fun game but y’all ban cards almost every month and makes us have to rebuild an entirely new deck. Even the starter
decks they give you to learn the game in bot matches have been banned. This is ridiculous, you don’t have to ban every card
that’s popular or good to use.

Fun. It still a cash grab

I’m enjoying myself, even without spending a dime it’s pretty good early on. A lot events are locked by gems. And to really
succeed you need certain cards which in all reality will cost money unless you’re really lucky.

Yeah you can earn some cards but it takes forever. If you want to compete without dumping money into it you will need the patience
