Buy it. You'll enjoy the game, trust me. My friends were all into Yu-Gi-Oh and most of them have sold their cards to feed their magic addiction, haha.
Thanks!
Magic is the grandmaster of them all, if you liked those Magic will consume your soul.

AI is still pretty weird and not in a good way. Playing on the hardest difficulty in the first matchup.
Total stalemate on the board. I have 13 mountains (playing the janky default red deck), AI has 7 islands. He has a Ring of Evos Isle (the equipment that gives +1/+1 counter at each upkeep) attached to his Fog Bank.
Fog Bank of course has defender and deals no combat damage (and receives none). His 11/13 Fog Bank is THREATENING.
His other 2 creatures are Kraken Hatchlings. Which of course don't have defender. I have just been playing draw - go the last 6 turns hitting nothing but lands (god damn shuffler). AI refuses to move the equipment for some inexplicable reason.
edit: Same match, opponent down to 1 life. He attacks directly into my Magma Phoenix with his 3/3 flier and loses the game. Okay.

After that there are encounters where the AI will play out the same exact game on their end every time you play them.
The deck thats being played by a guy with a Suntail Hawk avatar
Now that is hilarious.

plays Suntail Hawk every single turn. That's it and nothing else. Sometimes he plays 2 Suntail Hawks.
Now that is hilarious.

For anyone who played previous DotP games more extensively than I did:
How many turns does a high level game take? And I mean against another player.
I only played previous games for fun and it seemed that not being able to create your own deck lead to slower paced matches overall.
I played MODO during Innistrad and Dark Ascension and I'm afraid of slow pacing compared to the usual Tier 1 Standard matches.

Blah. Just had my PS3 lock up after finishing a match. Hopefully that was a one time thing :/

The early encounters are really stupid.
This one guy casts
Basically you win the game if you cast any creature in the first 5 turns.
I dunno I expected them to be more challenging. I guess they will be later on.
This one guy casts
Haunting Revelation every single turn until turn 5 when he casts Call From the Grave

Yeah, I remember playing local tournaments back during Fallen Empires and Ice Age. People had to rely on their local play groups to come up with good decks and you had so much variety going around. I mean, to see a really strong deck you usually had to wait around until the finals so you could manually scope out a dood's deck while they played. Then you had to try to guess how he built it. You actually had to use your head.
Now it's just all copy / paste deck lists. Boring.
PS3 2012 runs like ass in comparison to PC/Steam 2012. Hell, DotP 09 is better running than DotP 12 on PS3. It's weird.
I bought without trying the demo of 13 simply because I'm a Magic whore. I gotta sit down and finish the campaigns. And yeah, Archenemy made '12 worth it along with the Wielding Steel deck.

Whoop, almost forgot to pre-purchase this. $10 is like a perfect price point for this game.

AWESOME! Time to get off MTGO to go download MTG so I can play MTG!
IIRC, the AI had access to more cards in higher difficulties in the first two games, not to mention suspiciously good draws for those jank decks.

Got the ipad version, playing now! If anyone in Ipad wants to add me to their gamecentre my name is joeystyles66
Yes, or you can find the code in the options menu. Then you redeem it on Wizards.com to print out a voucher to give to your local card shop for the card.
Thanks, forgot to check the store, looks like it unlocks around 1 pm with the usual store update.

Yup. Takes some getting used to after playing 2011 and 2012 on PC with a mouse, but the gestures make sense. The card art looks great on the retina display, but some of the 2D art elsewhere in the game looks pretty bad, like its been stretched or scaled. The table texture in particular looks awful.
1. Did you play any of the previous versions?
2. How's the "grind" time when the AI has to make decisions?

Own 2011 and 2012 on Steam, and 2011 on Xbox too
The AI thinking time has been about the same as the PC version so far, but I'm only at the beginning of the campaign so the AI hasn't exactly made any complex decisions yet
1gig? Ef that. Will stick to the PC version. I only got a 16 gig iPad 2.

It is awesome on the iPad! Totally worth it!
