    Re: MTG Arena

    I find it rather dubious for a variety of reasons. First, doubt they would cut a deal that allows third parties to dictate their format decisions. Second, doubt the other company would even want to...

    Re: MTG Arena

    There's a variety of reasons why they will likely push competitive play toward digital; a primary reason being that its infinitely easier to watch a digital match as compared to a paper match.

    Re: MTG Arena

    I agree. It's not that it could be executed exactly the same in paper but most of the time it would effectively be the same.

    The only thing that can't be done effectively is do "random" this but...

    All three of those mechanics are pretty cool. However, other than seek, I believe they could have effectively been paper mechanics as well.

    Re: MTG Arena

    Modern and Legacy coexisted for quite some time. Pioneer and Historic can easily become the MTGA version i.e. two non-rotating formats one being cards of the current design era and the other being...

    Re: MTG Arena

    I think the implication is once Pioneer is on MTGA they cannot coexist. In any event, I disagree with that notion. Historic can be a curated quasi-Legacy format and Pioneer and be the eternal...

    Re: MTG Arena

    Re: MTG Arena

    Re: MTG Arena

    Pretty sure the thought process is let's give them something to do with their MTGA cards that rotated out of Standard as opposed to let's give them a whole new format so they can ignore Standard. ...

    Re: MTG Arena

    I've never played Hearthstone but I have played Eternal. I'd say the UI is pretty much exactly the same. Things are pretty intuitive. One problem I had was trying to hold priority/only let part of...
