Magic Online will have no monthly subscription fee. Players will be able to purchase a starter game, which includes the online game CD, a certificate for an online deck, and a rulebook and game manual, for $14.99, or they can choose to download the game for free, play a sample game with a limited number of cards, and then purchase online cards when they are ready. Theme decks of 60 cards will cost $9.99, and 15-card booster packs will cost $3.29.

geez..so those w/the most $ will have an edge :(

glad i quit years ago, and that was when i was getting boosters for wholesale (1/2 price)

Yeah it seems like it will really suck. I was having fun 2 weeks ago when all the boosters and stuff were free, so I just went in, bought 4 of each kind every day, and picked out the 1 or 2 cards I wanted. No way in hell I would do that for real cash. The one thing I thought was cool was that apparentl you can exchange an online card for a real card and vice versa.
