I just picked this up last week but haven't had the time to play it yet. I really enjoy these duel decks since all my magic experience is through the video game version and I don't have enough experience to really make a good deck myself. This way me and my wife can play and have a fairly equal playing field with not too much experience. But I got to admit she still beats me most the time since I have the worst luck and rarely get a good hand to start off with.lol

These decks are perfect for what you have described, casual play. I used to play semi-competitive and I also like the video game versions. But this, in my opinion, is great for anyone who would just like to have some fun without forking out a lot of money for a top tier deck. As for the bad luck... I have my demon dice to help me along ^_^ .

Just a question regarding the assassin tokens. Did you receive all three in your product? Novus

Toon_Link3696d ago

Yeah my pack had all three, sorry to hear your didn't. And thanks for doing a thorough review. Before I made my purchase I tried finding as much info as possible but really only found deck lists. One thing that I would add unless I missed it is how the decks stack up against each other, my biggest concern when buying duel decks is if there's truly a level playing ground for both players and if the decks are fun to play. Overall awesome review if I had come across your review before my purchase I wouldn't have had to pace around my local target for half an hour.^^

NovusOrsa3695d ago

I'm glad you got yours ^_^ . And thank you bud, that means a lot. It's nice to think that the material created is not just some text that will not be read. As for the decks and how they fair against each other, I tried to infer that they are balanced in their own way but I think you are right, I don't think I out right said that they were. Thank you for the feedback :) . Novus

Shame

Well hopefully they do right by whats left

MadLad503d ago

Disappointing.
We could use a few more D&D titles on shelves.

The only major one out there right now is Baldur's Gate 3.

Gameseeker_Frampt503d ago

Well they did a very good job of handling Magic the Gathering's 30th Anniversary. The 4 packs of proxy cards for $1000 was so well received last year that Hasbro stock price dropped 40%.

Poor dev. The game is in him.

YourMommySpoils963d ago

Wouldn't be so bad if it's a digital release. If it's physical, that crap's going to hurt.

Majin-vegeta968d ago

G.i Joe War rios from Koei would be nice

thorstein968d ago (Edited 968d ago )

I want an XCom style GI Joe game and one for Transformers too!

WoTC's New Game Studio Is Almost Entirely Ex-BioWare Staff

The more people that Archetype Entertainment hires, the more it looks like Wizards of the Coast is just trying to recreate BioWare.

The mass exodus of Bioware staff as of the last year or so makes more and more sense lol
It was just running from Anthem; it was running from EA as a whole and, for many, to Archetype. This I like. What would be really amazing would be seeing one of the original Bioware founders leaving their retirement from games and taking a creative lead role at this new developer.

annoyedgamer1553d ago

I see nothing wrong with this...on the contrary, I am looking forward to their next project.

sprinterboy1552d ago

So basically the actual bioware of old

Relientk771552d ago

Sounds good to me, excited to see the game they're working on.

ThunderGod_Cid1552d ago

Going by what a few other sources have said, it’s a Sci-fi space adventure RPG where your decisions shape your journey (basically the spiritual successor to Mass Effect)
