Good job team Arena!! I’ve been a casual player since Legends, and I’ve played about every iteration of magic, and this looks great!!! I was disappointed with “Magic Duels” mainly because they stopped supporting it, but after seeing “Arena” my confidence has been restored!! I literally cannot wait until this game is released. Keep up the good work!
i have been playing the beta for a couple months now, really the only nit pic i have is seeing the highlights of the cards u are looking at, when your opponent mouses over stuff, its a huge give away to stratagies and thought processees when i get to see and know tis happening
Not seeing the abilities on the full art cards is pretty straining- feel like I’m going to often forget/misremember text wording or assume things are contextually vanilla.
I’m stoked have standard on mobile, I’ll play probably as much as I played magic2015 (don’t know if that’s a win for Wotc) but I won’t make the switch from mtgo because it’s a better representative of magic. I feel bad because this project will ultimately end up like duels/ magic2015 and fizzle into obscurity.
This is a huge missed opportunity. The fact that it’s standard only basically tells everyone I play with that it’s not for us. We don’t care for standard, but would love an update to modo. Instead we get this. Guess magic is trying to forget about eternal formats
Hello I heard about this game from Ignideus’s Shadowverse channel. I’m definitely going to try this game and pay attention to it. As somebody who saw the cost of getting into Magic prohibitive I hope you take some inspiration from Shadowverse in terms of newbie and f2p friendliness. SV is generous to new players and rewards players for playing the game and climbing the competitive ladders and using the Take Two draft mode. I also hope you guys push that cool Western Fantasy art style of Magic more in the actual matches and add more flair to the arena like SV pushes that Anime fantasy style by adding more arenas and music. I know it’s an alpha build but the current arena looks a bit boring. So far the software looks damn good and a huge improvement over MTG Online.
I still wonder why they quit magic duels to do this new game. I was happy with that game ang got all cards, now i dont want to plays this one… they did all wrong! I think they should have updated duels instead of doing a new game… now that i have lost my investments in duels i dont feel confident to invest anything in this new game…
Signed up early-mid October, haven’t gotten into closed beta. Last email from wizards on the topic was on January 19th… Is this normal or was I somehow taken off the list?
These guys are idiots they should just release arena preloaded with all of the best net decks in modern and let them duke it out..they would make so much money that way everyone would want to play
This looks like someone tried their best to combine Hearthstone and MTGO and just didn’t have a good idea what they were doing. At least there’s an another place for me to spend money on cards besides MTGO or paper.
This game lost me. It’s not Hearthstone no matter how much you pretend it is. The tapping system is unnatural and I can’t even inspect my hand because of the clunky UI.
I really enjoy the crafting system but it looks like a hearthstone clone to be honest (and as a hearthstone player that’s been playing since the beta, that game sucks, do not follow its practices lol…)
Also really dislike the square cards, they seems ugly to me, doesn’t feel like *magic*
The main problem I’ve found, is that if you click “end turn” because you have nothing to do, and your opponent casts an instant, the game doesn’t stop and let you respond.

where’s the trading??
Do some one know if we going to be able to play commander in MTGArena?
Change economy put a dust or market sistem, the wild cards economy plus rotations will scare people

Is it going to be Mac compatible?
can you take away the slant and make the cards bigger on the board

So this is the Hearthstone game engine, but with MTG?

Can we get more tilt on the tapped cards for better contrast at a glance?
Izzet time 🙂
what formats will be available to play

Custom animations for unique effects, lol enjoy that massive increase in scope.
So wild cards can be turned into any card they want?
What about time/money invested in Duels. Maybe. Some kind of kick back?
If my opponent tapped like that..
“JUDGE!”
What’s the deal with the wild cards?

Maybe a bonus for those who invested time and money on duels should be fair right?
new
Can’t wait
How i can get that game ? Wait for release ?

This looks like garbage.
So are we going to be able keep our collections unlike duels? If so that will be awesome. Also, will there be foil cards? I hope so as well
Maybe incorporate some Masters sets there instead the whole Modern as a compromise?
Now lets pray that they include booster codes in the packs u buy. same as pokemon does it

I wanna import my physical collection with my phone camera
Will commander be playable in a multiplayer format?
Oh man I can’t wait to get my hands on this one, will there be a option for 2v2 combat ? I really hope so!
Will magic arena be on ios?
Lands tap, most of MTG players are Engineers, Lawyers and Engineers. They all have logical minds.

Needs to be like those skylander toys, or amibo. Buy the physical product for collection, digital redeem the product for online play convenience.
Blue and black are too strong
Hey, looks great. What about a beta key? =D
Thank you!! =DD
Looks good, can you pick your own battle field? i would just like a field of grass.
Now is possibile stream on twitch and Youtube?
please put cheap non-keeper drafts in! I just love to draft
Please 90 degree taps! Or something more than 45!
Artifact waiting room
Looks like a great update – looking forward to try it out!
Keep up the good work!
