The verdict
A deep Magic-meets-Hearthstone digital card game with a very generous free economy and solid solo modes. Skip it if you hate mana flood/screw or dislike facing veterans and power creep as a newcomer.
Great for
Magic fans and deckbuilders who want a deep free-to-play card game with strong solo and draft modes
Main risk
Mana flood/screw and veteran-heavy matchmaking make losing feel unavoidable, especially for new free players
What players love

Many PvE and PvP modes, including draft
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews

Flexible deckbuilding with many viable decks
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews

Mana flood and screw RNG

“Your deck size must be 75 cards, and you are obligated to have 25 mana. Such huge deck makes the game very inconsistant.”
