While there is a mobile version in early release phases, there is a specific list of phones available to run them, which you can find here. Magic the Gathering Online is a simpler design, not as graphic-intense, however, the user interface is a little rough at first. A free account in MtGO gives you the new player starter kit, which includes two copies of all common cards and one copy of every uncommon card available for standard play.
This upgraded account also comes with access to the store and ability to trade cards. There is no free way to earn more cards. You can trade cards, or spend real world money on booster packs and preconstructed decks. This is perfect for people who are drawn to the collecting and trading of cards, but maybe have little hands around making it impossible to have the collection in real life. This set up makes it difficult to enjoy a quick game of magic, as the decks randomization seems to work differently between games.
There are no preconstructed decks, or anyway to unlock more cards without participating in the economy. However, deck building is a skill that can be learned. The interface works really well for finding and constructing decks along with having a great categorizing and search system that is a little more sophisticated than MtgA. I found myself spending more time, and having more fun, putting different decks together using the search UI, than I did playing rounds.
The first few quests in Magic the Gathering Arena put you in battle with non-player characters NPCs , with the final battle in the color challenge being against another player character PC. These matches are meant to teach you the mechanics of the game through play, and after each color challenge, you unlock a new mono-colored deck. There are multiple modes to play for free, including Friday Night Magic, Standard, Brawl, both ranked and unranked.
There are no time limits to matches, however turns can go a minute, before a timer will appear in order to speed up the process. After so many time outs, the game renders the other player non-responsive, and they are kicked from the game. I found it a lot easier and less time consuming to get started with Magic the Gathering Arena , although there is still my own problem with time dysphoria….
In Magic the Gathering Online , time is a factor in both deck construction and match length. While MtGA hands over some decent preconstructed decks fairly quickly, all the cards you receive in a free account MtgO are in one big set, forcing the player to construct a deck before they even begin playing.
For those looking for a space to try out constructed decks in a less competitive setting, look into MtGO. The greatest parts about games like Magic the Gathering is there are so many ways to enjoy it. If your love for Magic lies in the collecting, trading, connecting, and building of cards and decks in Magic the Gathering , then MtGO is a great space for you.
It also means the community is invested in their cards, similar to paper cards, since they can be traded to others creating community between players. Magic the Gathering has always been synonymous with community. However, finding others who share your love for the card game, and weeding through the gatekeepers, can be difficult. The community is a big factor in my choices of gaming.
Feeling safe is important. I love the community. MtGA is set up for Magic playing. Players are represented by avatars, and communication is limited to choice emotes preselected by the programmers. The ease of play makes the game more accessible to everyone, however the MtGA environment carries a more competitive ambiance. Magic the Gathering Online is a different story however. The ambience is less competitive, and more in line with a casual in person game at your house. You can host a game room, or join one!
You can rematch the same players, and even watch others play. It caters to those who want the in person feel, on the interwebs. Queue into casual matches to sharpen your skills at your own pace.
