Hasbro is treating you bums like kings and queens and you don't even know it. For just ten bucks you can get some commons and uncommons from a core set to make a free deck and play casually online with it FOREVER!
Until the next set comes out then your cards are worthless.

And it's not like the random junk I pick from drafts will ever mesh together into something good enough to play with in constructed. It really is just a one-time fun fest and then the cards just languish in my inventory.

I thought that's what the new revamped MGO was for? It looks a lot like 2013 now.

Magic Work Station *shudders*
Was Cockatrice better? I really liked MWS for what it did. Sure it was manual as hell, but if you played correctly then there were no issues. And I also liked that it made me learn the rules of the game and the stack, because no one was going to play with you if you weren't doing it right and patience was low for newbies.

I was a fan of Magic Workstation back in highschool. It was nice because I was a kid who just wanted to test different decks or play online with my friends. We still bought cards and went to events, but we weren't about to shell out money that could go to physical cards to play online.

The problem with MGO is that there's not a lot of replay value unless you have a massive collection. Typically I go on and do a couple of drafts every couple of months or so until I realize I'm spending my money too quickly. It's a lot of fun but there should be other, free options for when I don't want to spend money but still want to play Magic.

For that I've been using the Magic 2013 game on my console, since it's a single payment and lots of replay value.
