I was planning to gift the app to a few friends so we could all play together, but now that it's free, I'm not sure how to do that (other than buying separate $10 iTunes gift cards ).

Edit: Wow, 1GB compressed... I need to make room. Wow talk about incredible value here. For FREE you get: 3 base decks, a single player campaign, 4 different AI opponents, Encounters (puzzles), and the new Planechase mode. $9.99 unlocks 7 additional decks with cards, more campaign, more puzzles, ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, and more. Much like the PC/Console versions, IAP for "foil conversions" (think shiny coating) and quick unlocks. I just hope you get a free deck immediate-unlock for owners of Magic 2012 like is offered with the PC version.

That and the tool tips and me reading all the cards as they come up. Otherwise, fun so far! amn624 Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2008 1,273 0 0 publisher Nassau County, NY #12 amn624, Jun 20, 2012 Pumping ability problems Anyone else experiencing problems with abilities to pump creatures? Works in the tutorial but I've had two separate instances in the campaign where I could not pump a red creature although I had the requisite mana. If I missed something, I have no clue. In the tutorial, they actually highlighted the ability on the card. In the two duels where I had the problem, the ability line was not highlighted. There was no conceivable reason why I could not have used the ability. Anybody have the same problem? Amerik Masters Active Member Oct 27, 2010 28 0 0 Bay Area, California #13 Amerik Masters, Jun 20, 2012 For all the first time MTG players. This game is the best card game you can play. Not to make the other card games sound bad, but this is top quality with a great experience. You can turn off the phase stoppage in the options to speed up the game flow. I've spent over $1,000 in cards in the past and this is by far the best way to play the game besides the actual card game itself. This is a free game to allow those not familiar with the game a chance to evolve into a awesome player. 5/5 app here people. P.S. I am not a troll or overselling this.

I was expecting this to release tomorrow. Still, it's out that's good.

If not I'll buy it immediately, else will probably not pay the IAP at all. Can't wait to try this... Need to find a decent hotspot in London now I've left my house for the day! tops2 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 2,083 56 48 #16 tops2, Jun 20, 2012 Yeah..for noobs like me, it's great to have such a full "trial" version. If the app was straight up $10...I'd really hesitate on it. It helps the game feels so polished. On question..in the app for the deck manager, it looks like you have 60 base cards with a bunch of unlockables above it... I'm wondering if all those cards are unlockables as a part of the game or if some are IAP? CoreyB Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2011 503 0 0 Aircraft Mechanic Chicago, IL #17 CoreyB, Jun 20, 2012 Can someone explain what it means to "foil" your cards through an in app purchase? What exactly are you doing or getting? The way it's written in the game it seems like your going to lose cards to get different ones. squirpe Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2008 163 1 18 Software Developer Honolulu, HI #18 squirpe, Jun 20, 2012 Duels of the Planeswalkers got me interested in MTG again after a long time not playing. This is a truly excellent version - at least so far. Not yet tried MP, unlocking the decks/cards via campaign first. Wizard_Mike Well-Known Member Mar 17, 2011 1,294 0 36 Texas #19 Wizard_Mike, Jun 20, 2012 Yes! Downloading now! Been looking forward to this! squirpe Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2008 163 1 18 Software Developer Honolulu, HI #20 squirpe, Jun 20, 2012 Converts them to a shiny look - like getting a foil premium rare from a booster pack. IRL foil cards are worth more than their non foil equivalents. But gameplay wise there is no difference. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
