Save Wizards of the Coast.
Fail and cause the deathe of a company.
Have no impact either way.
Wizards of the Coast is now making a video game. This could be really cool or a big, expensive failure. What do you think?

"Save Wizards of the Coast"?
Do they need saving?
Are we talking about that Goblin game?
Team Info-Ninjas: Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

The question is: Why has it to be a strategy game? I want a FPS based on MTG where I can brutally slaughter all of those abominations from Lorwyn and Kamigawa block. Seriously, add the possibility to gain abilities, depending on what mana direction your character goes, and some other enhancements in form of auras and equipment and it could be a fun game.
Er, Wizards of the Coast is not making a game. If they did, it would fail horribly since their internal software development has always been completely incompetent.

Wizards of the Coast is licensing the rights to Magic to two developers. This means the delevopers pay Wizards.
There's almost zero risk or downside, unless the games are somehow so awful that they make people hate Magic.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Barook is right. It's impossible to make a valuable card strategy game. Not with 2 developers. The best would be to keep the flavor and to do an heroic fantasy game, FPS or Role Playing.
Anyway, I think that we are not the targets.
Shandalar 2 is the only possible outcome. God, I'd give my left nut for that, with all the quirks of the original game, and all the rules and card updates.
Seconded. Imagine walking through a dungeon and walking over a dice: "Next round you start with Darksteel Colossus in play."
I'll third that, even though I haven't played the game yet.

Would be way too cool, and with a bit of luck they'd even leave the power in.
If it's an rpg I want to play as either Braids or Kharn.

Team Brown & Team Unicorn. Does that make me a Brown Unicorn?
Ummmm...fithed...Nightmare we can only hope they would do something that cool!!!

If they were picking the Wii they might be saving the company. Xbox? Hmmm.
sixthed...
Though i think something aking to a Heroes of M&M aproach might work alright too.
I just hope to god the PC game isnt a shooter of some sort. While the idea of continuously killing a Goyf with a BFG or Rocket launcher just to reanimate it and kill it again would give some satisfaction, it wont make for a good game.
Uh, Shandalar and HoMM are basically the same game.
Shandalar MMO would be the greatest game of all time.
Red Wizard needs food badly!
They have that, its called Magic the Gathering Online, 'cept instead of searching dungeons and batlling random mages to find cards, you shell out tons of money for 'virtual' cardboard, from what I hear it's pretty sucessful.
For what it's worth, MtG: Battlegrounds was a fun game.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
I heard otherwise. Something along the lines of pouring acid into my eyes was more fun, etc.
