I bought the full game. It is fun. The interface is really good. The only bad thing is that you can't really modify your decks outside of the 17 cards you unlock. It does take out one of the funnest and most challenging parts of the game. I hope they change that but I still was having alot of fun.
I only got to play a couple of games because it was so late by the time I was able to download it and I had to be up for work this morning.... but I thought it played pretty well. I am playing on a SD television and this game would benefit tremendously from a nice HD screen... especially when reading the cards. But, the ability to zoom in on the cards made it perfectly playable even without HD. It seemed like the gameplay could potentially get a bit slow, but what I saw in the first couple games I played looked like it was pretty well done. I'm glad that the cards include the "flavor text". Some of the quotes make me laugh and the game would be lacking without them 
True, let me see you build a good custom deck with real cards for only $10 ;-)
That was the main reason I stopped playing MTG when I did, I couldn't afford to keep up with it...

I'm fine with playing non-awesome decks like starter decks, as long as everyone has them. Personally I don't enjoy some of the super awesome decks as much since the games often resolve too quickly. The best game of MtG I ever played was a White Equipment deck vs a Wellwisher Elf deck. Both were decent, but not awesome or tournament ready by any means.
That is a ridiculous statement. There is a huge difference between skill levels of players and even pros make mistakes or don't see an opening or get impatient etc.
I do agree it would be infinitely better if they let you build decks and had more cards but I feel like I've already gotten a good 10 dollars worth out of it and haven't even played online yet. The challenges are fun too.

Well, I think we can expect more card to come in the form of DLC.
Especially because they put "DLC" right there on the main menu with nothing to dl.

Besides, what would MTG be without booster packs to blow your cash on? lol
I *totally* agree with the above statement that the game is already worth $10. I got $10 of enjoyment last night and so far I've only played with one deck and done no online play. I beat the first 10 opponents in the campaign with the starter green deck... and then started the challenges
Last night I was doing the challenges and I got stuck on the 3rd one... I could swear I was winning it but the game wouldn't accept it. I am not sure if it's a bug or maybe somebody can explain it to me. *don't read if you don't want a spoiler, just in case it is one*
The situation, the opponent had two creatures in play. I had 4 or 5... they have 19 life and I have 1 and I have to win this turn. One of my cards in play was a legendary card that I've never heard of before and can't remember the name of it. In the text of the card, it said that if this did combat damage to a creature, destroy it and if it did combat damage to the player they lost the game. So, I attacked with everything. The opponent of course blocked this card and one of my other creatures and before the damage phase I played a "terror" card from my hand and eliminated the creature assigned to block this legendary. When the damage was dealt, it never dealt any damage from that card though and I lost the challenge... I can't understand why I don't win.
I really do like the amount of content you get for $10. The deck customization is pretty limited, but I enjoy the challenges and seemingly long campaign mode.

Once they block, even if you remove the blocker, the player won't take damage.
Well that explains it... thanks, I always thought an instant could remove the blocker before the block occurred. I figured there was a reason, I just didn't know what it was.
For attackers
You can remove the attacker before damage is dealt and it won't deal damage
For blockers
once the block is declared, the attacker won't deal damage to the player even if the blocker is removed.

I'm avoiding the MtG game like the plague. I played up until 4th edition came out long ago, made a shit ton of cash because I gambled and traded a lot of old cards for dual lands... yeah. Anyway, I have no desire to potentially get sucked back in, want more, and start investing in the game again.

I decided to pick up MtG, though I've only had time to beat the first 2 computer players and do 1 challenge. Seeing the new stuff that has come out since my era of playing many years ago is cool. Double strike didn't exist back then, interesting ability.
Yea I noticed they've given a lot of old abilities new names too... like calling the no-tap attack ability on the Serra Angel Vigilance... and I think the spiders used to have "entangle" or something like that that allowed them to block flying creatures and now they call it "reach". Also noticed the "defender" distinction on walls to indicate that they only block.
I really enjoy the Challenges... A few of them I sit back and say Impossible! and if the game hadn't told me it's possible to win this turn I would not believe it. Just shows you the obvious route isn't always the best one. I hope they release new challenges in the future.
Finished all of the challenges...the last 2 are pretty challenging, but just don't take the obvious route and you will get it.
I'm stuck on two of them as well... but not the last two. I'm stuck on the last one and the one where you are playing with the blue deck. I can't see any way to do the damage. On the last challenge I thought I had won it, but then lost even though the opponent had -2 life. Then I noticed that stupid card that said you could neither win nor lose the game while it was in play... ugh. Gotta figure out how to get rid of that card and still do enough damge.
I really like the challenges, they definitely take some thought get the cards played just right to maximize the damage.

I got MTG as well. It is somewhat disappointing to be lacking deck customization, but at $10, it's well worth the money. I got it on friday and I already have beaten the campaign and the challenges. Played a little online, will probably try that more. Only problem is people who quit the game once they start loosing.
I still can't figure out the challenge vs chandra.. with the blue deck. I just don't see how I can get over 4 points of damage and I need 5. I've solved all the others.
One thing I don't get is the % reading on the campaign... I went all the way through with one deck and then played a couple of games with another deck and now I've got 50%. Seems like you should either get 100% for playing through once, or you should need to complete all decks.... being 50% after a couple games over one time through didn't make much sense to me.

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Use the enchanter guy to do 1 point of damage to her.
Boomerang the persuasion on the enchanter.
Persuade the Goblin with haste
attack with Phantom Warrior and Goblin (he has mountain walk due to the goblin king)
That's 5 points of damage.
