    The tutorials make it super easy to learn the complicated game, and making decks is easy and fun. It might play better once it’s on PC and consoles, since all of that tiny text will become easier to play. But even now, Magic fans will enjoy this digital version of the classic card game.

    Unless you're a very, very experienced player, Magic Duels delivers a great Magic experience, ideal for both the regular user and new potential fans.
