The Magic: The Gathering card game is a huge phenomenon. This interactive version of the card game for the PC accurately recreates the Magic: The Gathering experience on the computer. Magic: The Gathering for the PC is based on the popular Wizards of the Coast, Inc. trading card game of the same name, which is available worldwide in nine languages. Game Concepts: There are four components to Magic: The Gathering for the PC. 1) The Duel. The game includes a traditional duel module in which players can challenge the computer's artificial intelligence (AI) in a hand of Magic. This Duel allows players to jump right in and go head-to-head against the computer AI that comes complete with 60 pre-made decks. Game players may choose to duel these decks or duel against decks that the player creates. The Gauntlet, another feature of The Duel, allows the player to challenge the computer to a series of Magic: The Gathering duels in a tournament mode. 2) The Deck Builder. All cards within Magic: The Gathering for the PC are easily managed by the Deck Builder utility. The game includes all the cards from the Fourth Edition, over 20 powerful, out-of-print cards (like the Black Lotus) and the 12 new Astral Set cards. Players can make use of this utility to create, arrange and fine-tune their digital Magic: The Gathering decks for use in the game. Featuring advanced filtering mechanisms, this utility makes creating Magic decks easier and more fun than ever. 3) The Magical World of Shandalar.
