Ok I have three problems with DotP. Number one: no Planeswalkers
Number two: the inability to fix your basic mana
Number three: the inability to construct your own deck out of the cards available.

All of those things require a lot of work. Dual of Planeswalkers is like Madden. They update the rosters every year.

For $14 or whatever the game costs vs. Loss in paper card sales and loss in MTGO revenue.

They want you to collect the real thing.

I was just ticked of at the challenges cuz you aint allowed to have more than 4 of a kind in your deck! Cheating bastards :P

My main problem is the inability to unlock cards on one Platform and have them unlocked on your others. There could be an email verification for this.

Also, this is their gateway drug into the world of MtG. They are trying to keep it simple so that new players can pick it up easily. Building a good deck and mana fixing are very hard to do for a beginner so here they take care of it for you.

Id like to see PWs too, but I don't know if they are worth the added complexity.

Xanzurth

While I can see your points on most things. I believe they should have PW because new MtG players need to see them and how to interact with them. If they can learn about exalted and the stack then they can learn about PW.

BlackJester

I agree they need to be introduced to certain things, but the game also auto-manages tricky stuff like the stack and exalted (which is not that tricky with the card pool in DotP13)
I would love to see PWs too, but as mythic rares, they aren't going to come across them all that often. And when they DO, theyll be like WTF!?!  This thing be crazy! I'd better find out how to work this thing.

Xanzurth

I agree my Master. My only hope is to be as wise as you when I graduate from padawan.

I just call'em as I see 'em.  I'm not always right, I just talk like I am.  ;)

I do love that they finally allow you to decide WHICH lands to tap for a given cost...
How?!??! I've been trying to figure this out on my Xbox360 for awhile

On PS3, you push down on the stick (R3).
One of the challenges with the Phyrexian Obliterator is impossible to do without it.
On the iPad you click on the card again and it changes the mana combo

I've been running into bad lag and DISSAPEARING cards lately in iPad multiplayer. I thought I was going to kill swing and all of a sudden 2 fog banks appeared from nowhere and well, I lost lol. Also randomly when an opponent plays global enchants, sometimes they also are not in my view. Pretty game changing at times. Blarg

I really hate that you can't add/ remove basic lands.  They seem to add a ton of lands and then I get mana screwed every other game.  I have a 62-64 card deck, too....
