Great game

Arena is fantastic. Five stars! If I were to ask for some upgrades I personally would like to be able to enter codes on mobile. I would also like to be able to assign pets to specific decks without having to change it in my profile. Lastly and most importantly I love the mastery pass but two things bum me out. I've missed several of them and have no way of playing through them to unlock packs and stuff. Secondly, once I pay for a pass I feel like I have a gun to my head forcing to finish before time runs out or else I lose value. Cmon this is predatory, I already gave you money to enhance my play experience don't ruin it with overt capitalism. I feel like a wrung out sponge! Once I pay for a mastery pass I should be able to have access to it until I complete each level. I should be able to see all my mastery passes in my profile and select which one I want to work through. Once completed you get a little gold star and get to stare at it whenever you want and then work on the next pass. Old passes could be sold on the store page and I would give you lots of money for them. That is it. I would be totally satisfied. I could go to work and earn money only to hand it directly to you so that I can play my favorite game the way that I want to play it.

It's what one expects,although some minor issues ensue

Magic Arena is definitely a good game to play on PC and the idea of it being ported onto mobile devices is no easy task, and I think that for the most part the game looks and feels fine when it works as intended. As of writing the mobile version has been out for two days so hopefully by then the issues I state will be fixed. The only issues I have with Arena on mobile is that the ui is a direct copy of the PC's version, making the screen seem much smaller than it is which can make it hard for some people to see what to press if they want to access their decks for example. Every time I boot up the game I keep getting a "asset error" when there's nothing wrong with how stuff looks so I have to wait a bit to load into the main menus. Lastly whenever you tutor for a card or have a large board state the game becomes clunky as you can either type the card you want through a filter or search for it manually and have to use a scroll bar instead of just swiping; with large boardstates the game arranges your cards in a linear row instead of a large square like in the PC version so if you want to activate a creatures ability you swipe to scroll across your creatures which makes the game lag for a bit, and the overall size of what makes the game struggle is yet to be determined as I've only encountered this about two times.

Great game aside from two things

I really love this app and it is vastly superior to the old Magic Duels app, but there are a couple things I wish this app had. First, I wish there was an easier way to get card packs instead of buying gems with real money and grinding for several hours to earn enough coins for just one pack.

Also, I wish there was an option/mode where one could put together whatever kind of deck they wanted to with the cards in the game's database without having to buy them first. However, as a trade off, you wouldn't be able to play against other people due to the possibility of using cards not in the standard rotation. I also think playing against the AI would be required if one was to make a deck with cards from all sorts of different sets. It's just that I've always enjoyed deckbuilding and experimentation with all manner of creature types and mana colors, and it really stinks when you're forced to only use cards that you've bought/earned along with the decks you start with.

If they added these features, I would find myself having even more fun than before. App is still great, though!
