2014 vs. 2013 and which bundle?

[Turrok]

Hi MTG-Friends.

Since Magic 2014 for android does not support online multiplayer, I thought of getting myself the pc version instead. Then I compared Magic 2013 and 2014 (PC) and found out that 2013 has also 10 decks but at least 40 additional unlockable cards for each deck. Looks to me like Magic 2013 is more extensive than 2014 (has only 25 unlockable cards per deck).

So if nobody has better advice I would grab Magic 2013 PC instead of the 2014 version.

But which bundle is the best when I want to have the biggest possible assortment of cards/Decks for multiplayer?

- I do NOT care to much for single player but I am also NOT willing to pay anything extra for cards and decks which I will unlock during single player progress anyway.
- I Also do not care if the cards have a foil effect or not.

Please advise according to this preferences. ^^

Someone else mentioned in another thread that he will go back to the 1997 Magic from Microprose. How many cards does that have anyway? Were the cards freely combinable there?
Maybe thats another possible option too...

Since I played paper Magic from like from 1994 to 2000 pretty much excessive feel free to answer frankly.

That is why I am also not to much into the singleplayer mode anyway. But if it unlocks the cards for multiplay, I am willing to finish the job up to 100%. ^^


Cheers mates.

Unlocks
------------
2013 has 30 normal unlockable cards for each deck, and 10 promotional unlocks for each deck from the base game and each deck from the expansion, but not for the decks from the deck pack.

2014 has 30 normal unlockable cards for each deck, and will reportedly have 10 promotional unlocks for each deck, including the decks from the inevitable deck packs.

Decks
---------
2013 currently has more decks, because they've all been released. 2014 only has 10 decks at the moment, because it was only just released. More will be added in the expansion and deck packs later.

Multiplayer
----------------
If you're primarily interested in multiplayer, the old Microprose game doesn't have it. Also, the 2013 multiplayer community will dry up pretty quickly now that 2014 is out.

All in all, 2014 looks like the better choice for you. And just the base game.

OK these are great news. I was just confused since the 2013 decks on PC all showed 0/40 cards unlocked and the 2014 demo on android said 0/25 cards unlocked. But the android version seems to be a bit different then anyway. So I will purchase the base game Magic 2014 (PC). Thanks for your help. Feel free to add my as a duel challenger or whatever it is called.

Cheerio.
