![]() ![]() ![]() You still have the odd card that simply exiles a tapped creature, but the vast majority - or at least that’s how it feels - require some kind of qualification in critical thinking to parse. (Well, it was the wordiest up until this week's Full-Text Lands Secret Lair.) If you were to head to a spoiler section for the set and cast your eyes over the cards in general, you’ll be greeted with a paragraph of text for nearly every card. With the release of Strixhaven: School of Mages, we now have one of the wordiest Magic: The Gathering sets in recent memory. ![]() The iOS and Android mobile ports of MTG Arena are faithful to the PC version, albeit on smaller screens. However, it being on mobile does highlight some of the issues with the game in general, among the most severe of which is the wordiness of current designs. I’m not going to talk about the app in terms of its gameplay, because it’s still MTG Arena, for all the pros and cons that that brings. In that aspect, at least, this is a faithful version of the game you know and love. It can feel a little bit clunky when you’re putting together a new deck due to the small screen size and general largeness of your average finger, and interacting with specific cards as the board state gets more chaotic can be challenging as you may select the wrong thing, but it’s something you’ll adjust to the more you play it. ![]()
