I added it in our new games roundup already, but Magic 2015 (Free) is rad enough that it deserves its own post. Following in the long line of yearly iteration in the Magic world on iPad, Magic 2015 takes everything about Magic 2014 and makes it incrementally better. It’s basically the collectible card game equivalent of Madden at this point. New players (err, cards, in the case of Magic) and a few new features which generally make re-buying every year worthwhile.

This year, the best feature in my opinion is the addition of the ability to totally edit your deck. Previously, you were locked in to playing with one of the few deck archetypes that were available and adding cards to them. This irked basically everyone who played Magic on any kind of competitive level as the first thing you do when building a deck is keep it at 60 cards and trim the fat… Not just add better cards to your otherwise jank deck.

In our forum thread, Brrobotix brought up an interesting point- Previously, the Magic games for the iPad were king of the hill when it came to playing CCG’s on the device. With Hearthstone (Free) scratching the CCG itch for so many people… Will Magic 2015 make the same splash it did in previous years?
