I found tapping once on my creature and then the target works good for blocking and attacking duelists.

Is there no limit to a specific card in your deck? I am playing against a black deck in campaign and he has used 7 'horrifying revelations' on me so far, practically one every turn.

That's a encounter deck. Encounters dont follow classic duel rules. They use a stacked themed deck.

Just to report a couple of snags maybe.

I cant remember the exact details so not much help I know but I've had a couple of games where I thought a win was in the bag, 10 or so points left, and then suddenly get the defeated screen for no apparent reason. I'm a long time magic player BTW but maybe I missed something.

Also had a freeze up when I was attacking with about 20 creatures (loads of tokens) and it wouldnt let me add another token then the screen froze completely. However I exited the app by pressing the home button, double tapped home to close Magic 2013. restarted it and my game was back to where it froze but working again.

Also a problem on one of the stacked deck games where you continually have to discard cards, I found it difficult to be able to discard 6 cards by dragging them to the play field (as instructed) the cards kept going back into my hand.

I also keep missing the window to counter a counter spell if you get my drift, I havent got it right yet. Practice needed with the interface I guess.

Overall though very pleased well worth the iap which I paid right away.

The last time I seriously played Magic was back when the ice age expansion was still the latest one. I've tried getting back into it here and there over the years, but just felt overwhelmed with all the new stuff.

This app has fixed all that!

For a measly $10 I'm getting a full blown, modern Magic experience! Anyone who's ever tried getting into Magic with the actual cards knows you'll spend WAY more than that just trying out a couple of different decks. What's a deck now days, like $12 or so? That's just one deck. This game gives you a bunch of decks for a ten spot, just gotta unlock them all.

I'm freakin' loving this!

Good lord, I haven't even turned on Diablo 3 today...

Does this game actually include the Planeswalker type cards? If nothing else, at least representing each of the personalities in the game? I just read about them and they sound like an almost Vanguard like twist to gameplay.

Is there anyway we can make the game go a bit faster? It is really slow with all the phases. Great game by the way.

It might just be me being slow but while I see your point, especially early on, once you have a lot of guys on the field and there are several complex interactions in play, you'd hate it if the game just decided to skip onto the next phase on its own. I think you can at least turn off the "card play confirmations" every time a card is played on the field, but unless you are really familiar with all of the cards in play, this could lead into some confusion when your opponent activates some obscure effect from a card you never saw coming.

The screen where you need to select cards to discard or an effect like that needs working on, I sort of have to just keep flicking something and hope it selects it.

I'm sure it'll all change once more people unlock all the card and decks, but I'm very much enjoying my position in the leader boards at the minute.

I am forced to discard four cards on my turn. I have about 11 in hand. I try to discard a land. It won't discard. Don't lands count for discard?

Where do you discard them to? It says 'drag to select'. Okay, I drag it up, down, sideways, dropping it everywhere and it won't leave my hand. Is there a special spot to discard them to? I don't see a garbage can icon. Stuck from proceeding.
