Magic Online

[RurouniQ]

So I started playing the official Magic Online client. I don't suppose anyone else here does/has?

[WiizerFanboy]

Never even played the card game. And back when I was really heavy into TCG, I was always on top of the Yu-gi-oh scene.

I'll play if it's free

[RurouniQ]

Unfortunately it's not. You buy all your cards just like you would in real life. Aside from that, it's free. The upside is that buying singles is a lot simpler and often more economical, due to the fact that the market is literally nationwide. Some rare singles go for more though, because there's more demand.

[WiizerFanboy]

that sounds interesting. Is there a way to somehow transfer your real cards over to the game?

[RurouniQ]

Alas, no. However, if you collect an entire complete expansion or set in-game, you're able to exchange them for real-life copies.

[Typheus]

Meh, fuck that shit.

[RurouniQ]

Supposedly there are free alternatives, but the legality is questionable and like any sort of emulation, it takes considerably more work to set up and get working.

I beg to differ O_o.

Mecha, was the the old Microprose Win95 game that totally fucking rocked?

[RurouniQ]

Oh. Shame. I love that game.
