Mind-blowingly intelligent fun.

So I read a few angry wanna-be fanboy reviews about this game and they're horribly mistaken. This is a badass game, you finally have complete control over building decks, there are even special lands on top of it. A lot of people seem to have carried over their rage from not having 2HG, tough; things change, learn to get used to & enjoy something new. The menus may seem slow, but it's rather nice effects they have that make it appear as such, soothing & gradual transitions from one screen to another. The U.I. is very easy to get used to; you can navigate everything you need to very easily & smoothly. Those that are upset that you can purchase premium boosters need to relax, this is a company at heart that you're purchasing a $10 dollar game from. According to sources, you only have to purchase 14 of them to get every single premium card in the game & it won't give you duplicates, it knows what you have and will give you something new. Times that by 2 and you have $28 bucks plus the $10 this game costs and it's still under the price of a lot of games. Even if you purchased the complete bundle such as I have, that's about $5 bucks shy of the average big title/popular games you can buy. So the kids who don't have a job are probably the ones complaining, pay them no mind.

You want an awesome game that is loads of fun and will never get old with making & editing endless decks; pick this beast up. Magic 2015 - Duels of the Planeswalkers is a hell of a blast you can play with your friends or even solo. Even though there is no 2HG, you can set the meta for it w/ 3 other friends in 4-Player FFA and just take turns handing the win to your team's partner, wow that took such brain-power... sad others couldn't think like that. And to those who are wondering why 2-Headed Giant isn't in this version, here's the answer from the company itself. The rules of 2HG don't allow you to have more than 4x of a type of card per team/side. So with the complete deck building option, there would be no way to regulate that since chances are people would sometimes have say 6x of a certain card combined in both their decks. This is a smart move and keeps it legit to real-life MtG, I respect them for this decision to be honest. The Magic proes would just build insanely over-powered combos abusing certain cards and the beginners wouldn't have too much fun. Everyone needs to understand that these MtG - DotP videogames are basically Magic: Lite. Intended to get people into the game who don't know it & provide a fun hobby/pass-time for the vets. It's not going to be everything you could imagine the real game to be. I wished 2HG was in the game, but it's not; just get used to something new and have a good time! Only thing that could make this better in my opinion would be to actually have Planeswalker card types & mechanics.
