These are good tools for enfranchised veteran players that are more spike and/or competitive oriented. It's a poor way for new players to start learning Magic as is X-Mage. The software is unintutive and has a very steep learning curve for new players. Playing on Cockatrice will teach you how an actual paper game works. The software itself has its learning curve, but once you get over that hurdle its wonderfully designed and extremely functional. Most people don't play Magic that way, especially newer players.Ĭockatrice on the other hand is the closest thing you can get to the paper experience online (other than Spelltable I guess). If you're playing casually for fun, especially when starting, you don't need all the best cards and wildcards to netdeck and grind a perfect optimized deck. Yes, you need to put time into the game, but if you want to play Magic casually you're going to naturally want to put time into the game. It may be good as a starting point but after a while it will become either a chore or a money sink. To get the goods you need to put time or money in the game. But they're shrugging off a bit too much the freemium aspect of the game.
