Just a head’s up, but both can be resolved with Eye to Eye and mirror. That’s the force of magic, you can always kick the hell out of the other’s strategy if you know what you are doing.

ARGH…….. I have wanted an MMOCCG for AGES…. Start with a crap deck, wander the land, play games of cards against enemies, win cards, build your deck, play and trade with other people, take on bosses.. You don’t BUY a single card with real money, but it does have a subscriction cost…..

So, MTG does an MMO, and it ISN’T the card game….

FFS!

First thing I thought when I saw this “Isn’t there already an Magic The Gathering MMO?” and yes, there is. It’s called [unsurprisingly] Magic The Gathering Online http://www.wizards.com/Magic/digital/Article.aspx?x=magic/moliii2/download

So um, what’s this new Tactics game about then?

Wizards should fix the Online game before releasing any more stuff. It passed one year and half since the release of version 3 and Leagues haven’t been reintroduced yet.

Yeah, the WoW trading card game was pretty big a couple of years ago. It was the first CCG in ages that’s looked like it might actually have staying power, but I don’t know whether it’s still going strong now.

Yes. That was completely and utterly FAIL from Wizards.

Whole 4th edition was based and linked to idea you will be able to play it online with friends.

Its amazing they are unable to put it out?

I mean how complicated can that be to make ?

I’m a reformed MTG card addict..err I mean I used to play MTG. I still play occasionally, but I dont let myself buy any cars, or keep track of new sets. o.O

I agree, that old Microprose game is the best version I have played in video game form. I think I played the Spells of the Ancients expansion version.

I gave the online version of the card game a try for several months – but the virtualization sort of robbed the game of it’s soul. There was very little interaction between players, most choosing never to speak at all. It was like playing bots online rather than sitting across from an opponent. I missed the fun of commenting on the cards and the other social aspects, I guess.
