funny.....me and Nushio where talking about MTG last night in the IRC room....

I doubt Wizards would do that since they already have an online game that people are buying fake cards for.......

I would love it but i just seriously doubt it.......

but i am going to a MTG tournament tonight!!!

I know it's not that same, but I love Marvel Trading Card Game. It's the closest thing to having a CCG in your pocket. The best part is: once you throw down your $30, you never have to buy anything again. The only way you get new cards is to beat the computer, it's a perfect circle of time suck. I play the X-Men. I rock.

I used to play MtG back in the day when Revised came out. But then after a while WotC realized that people will buy whatever cards they put out and started releasing 10 expansion packs a year and it just got ridicoulus.

Since I havent played it for so long I don't think I would be into it, it would just be cards that I have never seen before and I don't feel like getting into that all over again.

If M:tG came to the DS, I'd probably be all over it.

I enjoy playing MTG, but I don't have money for the cards any more. If they released a game where the cart was the only thing you had to buy to play (i.e. all the cards are obtainable either in-game or via WiFi events etc.), I might pick it up.

Of course, I also played MTG: Spells of the Ancients for the PC a decade ago, and that wasn't so hot. Any game like that I'd probably have to pass on.

Started with unlimited, quit after homelands or whatever. haven't played in like 10 years, but would buy a DS game for sure.

Ha, I remember that game. I quit when they made the expansion set, arabian nights. We saw that it was just going to become a cash sink and our little neighborhood group all quit. I probably wouldn't buy a DS game of it, they were already coming up with pretty ridiculous cards back then (look up Shahrazad) I'd hate to see what the've come up with by now.

I'd buy Magic on DS today, if it were out.

uh, homebrew anyone?

Personally, I'd love a new Pokémon TCG video game for the DS. It'd have all of the cards up to release (possible updates via Wi-Fi?), online battles/trades, etc.

And it'd mean the return of Imakuni?, one of the weirdest video game characters based on a real person!

I have no interest in the 360 or the pc versions of this game but I loved magic and having it in my pocket on my ds would be awesome.

Agreed with BPM. Screw Magic. Give me a Pokémon TCG release for the DS any day.

I don't think we'd see the return of Imakuni? though. Maybe someone from Pokémon Sunday. Like KABA-chan.

My friends and I used to stay up all night playing MTG. I think this would be a great game for the DS. I'd definitely buy it and play it.

The most product they've released in a year is 4 sets. They keep this pattern, which is fine with me, and have for three or four years now. So, yes, if you can't keep up with four sets a year (early on, as you say, in revised-time, there were as few as two sets a year, such as the huge gap between Homelands and Alliances, which was almost a year) this game isn't for you. But there were certainly never "10 expansion packs a year" or anywhere close. Three isn't really that bad, and if it is, well... too bad I guess.

I want a MTG game for the DS more than anything else. Because I'm a geek and I love the game. :) There are a ton of expansions so I understand why they can't include everything from Alpha to Morningtide, but just a few blocks would be great. Maybe everything that's Extended legal?

I'm amused at everyone who gripes about the game and then says they quit in 1994. Hurray for you. If all I had to play with were cards from 1993-1994 then I'd quit too.

I like the card game and it makes sense on PCs and Macs because of how frequent updates are. I wouldn't want to buy a new DS game every time a set was released (about every 3 months), but I would be interested in buying a Magic game on the DS, maybe once a year.

My idea would be to release a yearly game encompassing only the previous year's sets. It would allow you to build block constructed decks and to do block drafts with friends. They might even make it so the various games worked together and you could pit one block against another.

But yeah, I think it would be cool to have some MTG on my DS.

As an old time MTG player (from the 3rd-legends-4th edition era) and a fan of the half-assed MTG:Planeswalker game, I've found myself quite enjoying the Yu Gi Oh releases on the DS.
Though not as deep as MTG, it's nonetheless filling the CCG/deckmaking void in my life. SNK Card Game was awful, and the Marvel Trading Card game seemed more like an arms race than anything else (sorry Jesse).
I would be soooo down for a MTG ds game, annual releases, with the current year's edition/block within the game.

I for one, would definitely buy it. Still playing (and buying magic every now and then) just skipped the Kamigawa set mostly but tapped into pretty much every set there is. It wouldn't beat sitting around the table with real cards but definitely wortwhile buying if it turned out to be a really good game. And yes, the DS lends itself perfectly for it. But like lotsa people here, I somehow don't think it will ever happen. Still, keep my fingers crossed though (and perhaps grow a long beard and haircut while waiting...Hahahaha!)
