Nothing will ever, ever, I repeat, ever, beat Star Wars CCG. Damn did I spend a shitload of cash on SWCCG. I'd say at least $4,000. SWCCG took 5x more skill than MTG, and required less cash. The idea of having the same number of commons/uncommons/rares in each set has always annoyed me about MTG. As well as one expansion per 4 months. It still saddens me to this day that SWCCG is gone, that Decipher fuked it up and that Lucasarts was greedy and fuked Decipher. |
MTG Beta was in Oct 1993 but MTGO was released mid 2002(a little over 5 years now)
I use to have paper cards but when you have 20k+ cards online is so much nicer. That would be so many binders to organize and thats not what I want to spend my time on. Also when I want to make a new deck I can do searches for card text (say all green cards that result in drawing, any creature with swampwalk or whatever) and instantly find cards I may want to consider using.
MTGO has been a very big success I think. There are always a tyon of games going on and it has remained popular. Almost every other online TCC has basically failed, even if it did well in a paper version. I'd love to see another one become popular online. Maybe WoW TCC? Never actually tried the game myself so I dunno.
