Magic makes a play for the throne of digital card games, currently held by Hearthstone. If you want, you can start playing with the beta of Magic: The Gathering Arena now. Here is the link for the free download of the new Magic game.
When it comes to virtual collectible card games, Hearthstone is the undisputed genre leader. However, that could soon change, as some promising competitors are on the way. Especially the grandfather of all collectible card games, Magic The Gathering, is now playable.
The open beta of Magic The Gathering Arena (MTGA) has begun!
Who is Magic The Gathering Arena suitable for? Anyone who is simply fed up with Hearthstone or who played the real Magic years ago will feel at home in Magic The Gathering Arena immediately.
The graphic style is somewhat “serious” and the game is more tactical, but also a bit slower. Moreover, Magic boasts – rightly so – of being the card game that inspired almost all other collectible card games.
What distinguishes MTGA from other games? Instead of relying on “simple” mana as a resource, Magic offers different colors that can be used for specific cards.
Otherwise, the mechanics resemble those of other card games. There are creatures that you can play out and use for attack, spells to strengthen or destroy them, and a variety of synergy effects to eliminate opponents through clever strategy.
Is the game Pay2Win? As is common in card games, you can buy booster packs for real money. However, if you don’t want that, you can also earn cards through various means in the game. Daily missions, victories, and participating in different game modes are rewarded with in-game currency and card packs. Those who use real money are simply a bit faster in building their collection.
