Is that any good? <snip>
I greatly enjoy it, as do my friends. It's definitely a game for casual or beginner MtG players (missing a lot of the depth and options) but I prefer it that way, and I'm sure you already know that from the first one. I never actually played the first, but I hear that this game is much more balanced than it, and it does feel fairly balanced. Some decks are a bit weaker and some are a bit stronger but the difference isn't incredibly staggering.
As far as bugs, it definitely has its fair share. Trying to check the Leaderboards causes a crash-to-desktop more than half the time, and I've already run into an infinite-loop bug with the AI. Then there are timer annoyances, where you'll have your opponent delaying their attack or what have you, and then suddenly the rest of the turn rushes and you don't have time to assign blockers or cast instants or use creature abilities. Mouse control can be very frustrating at times- the menu system is very awkward, and card selection can be a real hassle.
But overall, it's been a blast. The Archenemy mode is amazing to play with friends, even though it's incredibly cheap and unfair. Two-Headed Giant is phenomenal if you have someone to play with online. I hear people mourn the loss of local coop. I don't really have anyone to play with locally, so it's no bother to me per se, but I do find it somewhat annoying that they'd remove a feature like that when it was working in the first game.
All in all, I'd say it's a buggy mess that is incredibly addictive and fun to play, easily worth $10.
