I'm a pretty intense guy, and I've been known to pound my wall a little, but all in all, it's a sporadic thing, and I find I can live with that better than I can getting queued into, say, some guy playing Token Druid and curving out in casual while I stupidly pray for miracle draws with some wonky priest build. Of course, the non-guaranteed mana took some getting used to, and the biggest complaint I see when people discuss the game here (or Hearthpwn) is the mana screw/mana flood thing, which of course sucks when it happens, and it's beyond aggravating when you get a couple/few in a row. That's not to say you can't get trampled in Magic, of course, you most definitely can - but I feel like that gets balanced by the other games where you actually make plays to fight out of a bad situation, turn games around, etc. The ability to make defensive moves on your opponent's turn is really the key to everything, deciding what to block, even whether to block at all, to play an instant or flash spell, whatever it may be, it helps alleviate some of that helpless feeling I've had playing Hearthstone, when one of those crazy aggro decks was trampling me into the ground. And maybe I won't, but I've been playing for a bunch of months now, and I really enjoy it a ton. My first impression was "this is wayyy too complicated, I'll never be any good at this". What was your first experience with MTG like? Hard for me to commit to too many games at once though. ![]() I'll continue playing here and there and maybe i'll get hooked on it one day, who knows, but it's definitely a good game. I also don't have a huge knowledge of all the different magic sets and what sort of themes they encompass, i should probably check that out one day. I'd also say blizzard executes the voice lines and animations better but it is definitely a different type of atmosphere so i don't expect that to be comparable, just preference. That said, i think i still prefer hearthstone in that regard simply because i can relate more to the lore and can enjoy that aspect much more. In terms of flavor the art and themes are great along with the flavour text. I seem to prefer green or black decks off the bat, green in particular because it's much easier to get lands on the field. It's not something i play a lot of right now, but i am dabbling and figuring out what's strong and what isn't. I learned a lot over several hours of playing and i definitely see what the fuss is about. The digital version is great because i don't think i could really get too into the physical version so i could finally introduce myself to this game i always here so much about. It's interesting to observe the similarities and differences between this and hearthstone, which i have played abundantly. I enjoyed what i played, although sometimes it took me a while to comprehend how or why some things happened. There are many more complex dynamics to the turn structure and how cards can interact and i think that is pretty cool. The resource mechanic of lands is also quite interesting, although it can add a level of frustration if you don't actually draw enough. Overall i think it's pretty fun, although the deck building is much different than i am used to. ![]() I figure i am not the only one who has played a lot of Hearthstone but little Magic (but if i am that is ok too), but perhaps veteran players would be interested in sharing their thoughts from the past as well. I had not played magic up until a couple months ago when i decided to give MTG:A a shot. Welcome to the first MTG thread! I figured i would ask everyone what sort of Magic gave you when you began playing it.
