Summary
A game that is okay compared to other games
The Good
The variety of spells are amazing and are really cool to cast. The graphics were awesome even though there wasn't really any talking (moving mouths while the characters were speaking).
The Avatars were well done and made the game more interesting to play and made the bosses way cooler to face in the game. The hidden characters were really cool to get and play with.
It was really fun to play through and the arcade feature was fun to do. the layout of the game play was different from other games i have played so it was really fun to play.
the variety of spells meant there were many different combinations to kick ass. such as the annoyance of blue and red (blue with counter spell and red with spawning small creatures fast) or the power of green and white (getting more mana with green and getting more white creatures out until you can hit your opponent with large creatures such as the Avatar of Might.
The Bad
THE BLUE SPELLS ARE CHEAP but that is just how blue is in the game (counter spell and such)
the story line (to me) made little sense and also had no effect on the gameplay what i understood is that you have an artifact to collect color gems and master the colors to gain more spells and such to get cooler things such as more characters to play as.
It would have been better ( i would think) if they decided to go along with the story line of the Magic: the Gathering books, but than again, it would be a bit to long.
The online is cool and such but, THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE TO PLAY! if there were more people playing this game, it would be way more cooler to play.
The Bottom Line
if you want a game that is different from the rest that you have played over and over, this is defiantly the game for you.
