Love the Card Game, Hate the software

I love the card game but have little time to play. So I purchased the game to play online. I have had nothing but problems getting the game to work. The tech support is no existant and the patches dont help. This is very frustrating. I can recommend the card game, but not this defective software

This is a cool game for everybody. You should get it if you play Magic: The Gathering. And you should get it if you dont play Magic. If you dont play Magic LEARN HOW TO!

This might help

If you set your start bar to auto hide, you should be able to access it while the encyclopedia is running.

As a MtG veteran, who has been playing the game since Ice Age came out, I can tell you that this is a great investment. With its many options, deck builder, and customizable search, it gives you a tremendous advantage over other rival players. It is a little costly, but well worth it! Just save up your allowances, and you'll have the CD in no time. Email me with questions at: archlord@angelfire.com

This is the best thing to buy if you play MtG. I've always wanted a huge book or something to look up cards but i found it on my computer(kick).I think this is the best thing WotC has done yet besides creating magic itself. People this is like the invention of bread for magic players around the world.

Magic the Gathering Interactive Encyclopedia

This software should still be in beta testing. Even with the patches it constantly crashes and has errors. When I asked for tech support with the second patch, they say to uninstall the program and NOT install the second patch. The game is great, but the programmers and tech support people should be fired!!

If you want Magic on the PC this is the one...

The Magic the Gathering Interactive Encyclopedia is a very useful tool to stay up to date with the latest expansions. It features an vast library that covers all cards ever printed in the original language (english) and covers every single edition for this game, including Unglued. It features the ability to play online or on LAN. Sadly this feature is not as useful as one might suggest now. Several little problems or missing features make it quite hard to play a decent game. The most disappointing thing about the Online play funtcion is, that you can only play duels. One of the most eagerly awaited things by the magic online community is a program that enables them to play large multiplayer games. Sadly WotC did not implement it. Nevertheless this one is a keeper, and woth the ... you have to pay for it. I just hope that WotC does better next time :-)

WORTH THE CASH

The encyclopedia is a wonderful resorce for magic players of all levels- beginner to Kai Buddie (1999 Magic: The Gathering World Champion) it has inspired in me an urge to play again (im retiered- however you spell that...) anyway this product is extreamly healpful in deck construction and bosting your magic versitility in game play and knowlage get out there and make your freinds jelous with your supioruor card knowlage (this product is extreamly healpful with this) but the ONLY downfall to this product is that you must have the net to get pricelists and to play ppl online

No updates available, No longer supported.

It is important to note that this product is not supported by Wizards of the Coast and that all updates and patches have been removed from their website. Also it is not really a game. The old Microprose {Duels of the Planeswalkers} game was more entertaining and the main benefit of this software is the additional cards and card art which have the potential of being used in a non profit community supported play group for those folks that don't plan on subscribing to MTG online.
