I was really doubtful that this game could fix all the problems that have made me furious with the past games. They have somehow taken all the decks being unbalanced, exploits for cheaters, and game breaking bugs and gotten rid of them. What they have built is probably the best card game I have ever played. It is strategic, very easy to get into, and cheap. I have never seen a more polished game at $10. I have not yet played online so I am sure that my opinion of that will vary depending on other players. This game is a must if you have a PC, Xbox, or PS3. Not a nerd? Don't worry, a few games of Magic and you will be on their level. 5/5 Nickels RB
