For 800 Monopoly bucks you should be happy the game loads at all, lol.

That was about the only defence I could give for the game. I managed to trade my Wildspeaker for some Core Sets, that are piece by piece as much worth as the game itself. But the value of that Wildspeaker card seems to drop so quickly that I doubt that it will be of much use in a few weeks.

The review is spot-on, even though I have less problem with the controls and interface, and no problem with finding the pause button. Some bugs here and there though: if you enlarge at a card your opponent just played, the game sometimes doesn't continue unless you look at it again.

And the less said about the music, the better.

He didn't say he had a problem FINDING the pause button. Stop hallucinating. Read more carefully.

Garruck Wildspeaker fluctuates in value, though I can't see it dipping below $10 anytime soon. Used to be going for $20 back when big green was the deck to beat.

This is now a M:TG card price thread.
