There are a myriad of ways in the game to unlock gold during your playtime.
In fact, I didn’t feel the need at any point during my playtime to purchase gold. In the case of Magic Duels the game did not once push me towards buying gold to unlock booster packs. When games become a service or platform, as opposed to a single product, there are always questions about how much the game tries to push you to purchase content as you play. With big changes in focus, as well as a shift to a free to play model, it’s understandable some big changes have occurred, but how does Magic Duels stand up? Billed as a persistent client to be constantly updated with new content, Magic Duels marks a turning point for digital Magic: The Gathering card games. Yearly releases of Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering games have become as predictable as clockwork, but that’s all changing with Magic Duels.
