How is the community?Will a new set be enough to earn back the goodwill of Arena players? Even in aggregate, none of these problems have loomed large enough to coalesce general grumbling into a movement to abandon the game for alternatives like MTG Online. While Scute Swarm token abuse prompted Wizards to step in swiftly when it caused widespread server instability in December, old bugs remain, and have been accepted as features of the landscape by this point. … [Read more...] about The state of Magic: The Gathering Arena in 2021

Hogwarts Legacy—everything we know so far about the wizarding RPG
