Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A faithful digital Magic with a strong rules engine and a playable free path. Many hate the grind, matchmaking, crossover sets and suspected rigged shuffles. Skip it if you want real Commander.
Great for
Magic fans and newcomers who want to learn or play Standard and drafts online, especially patient free-to-play grinders
Main risk
Slow free economy and matchmaking against netdecks that makes the game feel pay-to-win and rigged
