This is pretty interesting, I have been meaning to check out magic and this would be easiest way to go about it.

I've been looking forward to this Xbox Lie Arcade game for a while. I'm going to get it when it gets released later this week/

Apparently, if you buy the game you can get a free foil "Garruk Wildspeaker Planeswalker " card via WoTC website, as well. (There goes the value of Garruck)...

Anyone notice the new Planeswalker in there? Apparently she's making an appearence in the the game before her official release in the Zendikar expansion in October. From what I've seen she's going to be Green/Black.... Could it be that Garruk caught and had his way with Liliana Vess? I know that he was hunting her in the on-line comics.

Anyone else buy this yet? I was able to play for a bit before I fell asleep last night and it's laid out pretty well I thought. The only thing that annoyed me was having to hit the "Y" button to confirm all the time. I don't want to confirm getting hit when I have no blockers, just get it over with and move on!
On a side note, I'm still waiting for them to fix the promo code issue to pick up Garruk, it was still broken this morning when I tried before work.

I think the only reason i would want to buy this would be for the free card that comes with it really. They never do a good job on TCG games ever they always make you start out with the crappiest deck ever in the world and then make it impossible for you to ever get any good cards in the game. I don't know what they did with this game but if they did it well I would be interested.

The best Magic game ever: Magic: The Gathering (For PC, made by Microprose)

If you have the core game and both expansions (Spells of the Ancients & Duels of the Planeswalkers) as well as Manalink patch, it was awesome. (Still is) Also, there are groups that are still modding it and adding cards. My current install has cards from Unlimited all the way to Shards of Alara in it.

I agree with Knyte that the origional PC is the best the issues we have with manalink is quite annoying! Seems like it crashes like mad on me now and we can't even play at work anymore. I do get a good laugh out of it now though, it likes to take a massive dive on me if I pull off using a dragon storm to pull out 4 dragons at once.

That being said, the new duels of the planeswalkers is really fun to play and the opponents do tend to show some smats behind their moves from what I've played so far. Me and a buddy of mine were having a hell of a time playing through the two headed giant, it usually takes a good 4-7 tries to beat them.

Does the Garruk foil have alternate artwork or anything?

I think the best part of the card, is the Xbox Controller for the set symbol.

I think I'll grab this just so I can finally learn how to play Magic.

The YuGiOh Tag Force games on PSP are good, but what I do is download a save where someone already has all of the cards unlocked. I get to fiddle around with cards that I don't have, and I don't have to deal with getting stuck with a shit deck to start story mode.

(Yes, I play Duel Monsters and enjoy it, fuck all of you. Cool)
