    Still a little buggy at times, but since releasing several months ago they've made solid improvements to the marketplace interface and gameplay. I've enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys tactics games and/or M:TG. To get the most out of it you'll probably want to at least pay for the starter campaigns and work your way through them- they're about $20 if you don'tStill a little buggy at times, but since releasing several months ago they've made solid improvements to the marketplace interface and gameplay.

    A nice combination of a tactics game and MtG. I like it a lot.

    The free to play part is short, yes, but you can login to freerealms.com and clonewarsadventures.com using your MtGT to get 598 in-game money that can be used to buy the campaigns. Those will net you 4 gold per day which will get you on your way towards tournaments that get refunded by the veteran players if you lose. So in    A nice combination of a tactics game and MtG.

So in the end you can get free boosters and play this game for free forever. It only takes a bit of patience and being friendly to other people in the game. And the game is well worth the $15 it costs to buy more campaigns and net 14 gold per day. Doing so, it only took me about a week to get a decent deck that gets results in the tournaments.    … Expand

    Tactics adds layers of depth, but the cost of booster packs quickly makes a mockery of the "free-to-play" label. [April 2011, p.77]

    Magic The Gathering Tactics offers a fresh and original take on the collectible card game. The new elements make the game both tactically challenging and very entertaining. But unfortunately the game is plagued by bugs, mismangement and a severe lack of communication from the developers, making it still an unfinished product.

    Magic the Gathering Tactics is a very well-designed tactical game surrounded by a mediocre economy and bad supporting interface. The skeleton is sound, and if SOE improved the musculature and skin, MTGT could be the six million dollar game.
