I swear, I'm just looking for reasons to buy PSP merch these days. This is great!

.... SOLD!

I might have to finally buy a DS just for this.

It certainly seems to imply drafting

"For authentic tournament conditions, players can compete with randomly generated decks in matches. "

but then if it said "absolutely no draft ability" then I'd still be looking for ways to interpret it as to imply drafting.

Here's hoping...

Hahaha, me too.

This can't be a bad thing.

Why does it look like Magic Workstation :ermm: ?


(edit: I should be more clear... it just seems to me that even though that layout is tried and true that Upper deck would've like to distance themselves at least in style from their competitors and MTGO (and thusly Magic Workstation's) engine seems to be one they would try to out do. I look at the layout and just think blah.)

Well, this is good news for me. My PSP has been constantly in my orbit since I bought the thing. I probably use it more for music and data storage than games. I only have the one movie it came with (Spidey 2).

So according to the description, the game has a storyline mode which seems weird to me. And I could be wrong, but it seems a computer AI will have a hard time keeping up with all the strategies in this game. And how do we add expansions (if at all?).

For the PC version I assume its going to be like the MTGO system. For the handheld versions its called buying another 40 dollar game ;)

will the psp players be able to play against the ds players?

they have a preview video of it over on the ds and psp site of ign!!

i just hope they dont do like yu gi oh games that change the effect of the cards. i remember playing a game of yu gi oh that pot of greed dealed 500 damage to an opponent instead of drawing 2 cards

Interesting special effects to say the least.

It looks to honestly be a good game. The special effects of " stuned " amuse me. I wonder how the game will actually play though and hope that it'll be a nice fluid like movement.

I would definatly pay for drafting! especially if it would allow us to have some sort of draft club!


It would be nice if they offered a way like with pokemon or Yugioh to scan your vs card and beable to use some of the irl cards you own to be virtual.

Even better. If you buy any virtual cards it would be nice if they allowed at any time to switch them out for real cards.

:)

Thats the way it is with MTGO, I would assume that if you could buy packs online then you could have them shipped to your door. MTGO does that. All the cards you own on MTGO are yours in real life, so anytime you can tell them that you want those cards and they will ship it too you. But... if you do that, then you loose them online.

I definatly can't wait for this game
