This game is excellent for those just getting into the world of MTG. It teaches all the basics of gameplay, and gives detailed statistics of your decks as you build them. However, it uses 4th edition cards and only the expansions from so long ago. I was hoping to make decks in the game matching those I use in real life, and was entirely disappointed. Also, the concept of rare cards is defeated in this game. It's fun to pass the time away, but not everything I hoped it to be. I was not able to get it to run on windows 2000 professional, or windows xp, so if you run on those systems beware. A final note when playing against other people. The game has some bugs dealing with anything except lan(local area networks). myself and my friends could not get the modem gaming to work.

Duels of Planewalkers is a an upgrade to the original M:TG game. This version adds: the current engine upgrades (fixing many bugs and incorporating ManaLink), the newer interface (as seen previously in Spells of the Ancients), and 80 new cards from Legends and The Dark.

The Unofficial Manalink Patch (some sellers provide link for download) makes this game work on Windows XP.

This game, although dated, remains the best offering of the Magic universe ever offered.
It's a shame that this game hasn't been updated to VISTA.....

I have been a Magic fan for 7 years. This is a great game. It is so much fun to play. In order to play the card game, you always needed somebody to play with. But with this game, you don't need anybody else, just a computer. I recommend this game because it is an even easier way to trade and play magic with or without anybody else.

This is MTG (Magic The Gathering) at its finest... FREE! Never have to buy another deck, just play to win and play to collect more cards. Protect the planet against evil by battling 5 different magi in their realms. Not the most graphically inclinded game, but it makes up for all that in all of its fun for all of you hardcore MTG gamers.

If your a player of the original card game "Magic: The Gathering" then this is a great computer translation. If you havn't played but have wanted to learn then this is the best way I have seen to learn. It also has a fairly good solo game. So if magic and stratigy are what your looking for in a computer game then this is the game for you
