I've been a huge fan of the MTG franchise recently and I have also played MTGO (Magic the Gathering Online) and I can understand why they restrict this games so much compared to how real magic is played and my only wish for this game is that they finally add in some Planeswalkers. So hopefully next year what I think are some pros and cons of this game are:

Pros:
- Fully customizable deck building compared to its predecessors
- Great way to learn about Magic for beginners
- AI's seems to be more random where as to other versions they had pre-set plays so they were much easier to predict
- Finally free from pre-set decks is a big plus for me
- You now earn booster packs and not singles and it feels GREAT! to open every new booster I earn from wins

Cons:
-Slow menu transitions
- Resolution options are a pain because I like to max out my settings to the highest quality but every time it gets reset when I exit the game
- Almost no multiplayer modes (However I do love the approach of a ranking system built into the game now)
- Not enough cards in this game's set collection in my opinion

I don't believe this version of the game is pay-to-win as people claim it is, I believe Magic requires skill, strategy, and card synergy along with knowledge to become a better player. The micro-transaction isn't new to game its been there from its older versions.

Overall Score for this game would be 7 out of 10 if they added more multiplayer modes than I would boost my score to an 8 but I figure they are planning to add more cards to the set in the future :)

Finally a free to play shooter that does not require any money what so ever and its all based on skills and not perks/levels for better equipment. Though it still has its occassional bugs, overall its a great game and fun to play. The community so far I've seen has been outstanding and very rarely I come across your typical raging gamer. Communication is key to victory, some controls needs to be rebind. As for players looking to party unfortunatly there is no system for that yet but the brower and steam do allow you to join your friends in-game. Overall I would rate this game a 7/10, Well worth the download for the genre fans.
