1. Most of us bought from Steam since there was a pre-order bonus of Expansion 1 bundled along free.

2. Story-based is vs computer. You can play online against friends.

3. No deck building feature. You can unlock decks as you progress through the story-based games. For each decks, there are around 20 cards that you can unlock but you can't move cards between decks.

I am new to Steam. Is Steam an online game store? Just Pay and download? No difference buying it over a real game store right, other than having the free expansion?

How do I buy from Steam?

Thanks

yes you can say that steam is an online game store.
pay and the game is attached to your steam account.
you can download anytime. no restrictions. no limitations.
difference is that you do not get a physical disc.

and expansion for magic the gathering is not free.

Sorry if I somehow caused any misunderstanding in my previous post. Expansion 1 was free when we pre-ordered the game. Now that the game has been released, the offer has expired hence you'll need to fork out extra to purchase Expansion 1.

You can buy the game from this link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/49400/

Thanks for the answers. I can see there are 2 expansions and a lot of decks are on sale. I'm late...

1. Must a player buy the decks in order to play?

2. What are the expansions for?

3. How to get some actions in Multiplayer?

1. no. those are deck unlocks. you can unlock them slowly yourself by playing the game.

2. more decks. more story missions, more challenges etc.

3. play with friends or ladder.

If I am purchasing from Steam, can I still play the game without connected to the internet?

thanks

1. The only Expansion you need is Expansion 1 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/49402/). The others are just deck unlocks or foil conversion, which are pretty useless. Deck unlocks are for those lazy to play the story-based games while foil conversion is, let's just say for aesthetic purpose only.

You don't need to buy any deck to play. This is not MTGO (Magic: The Gathering Online).

2. Expansion 1 continues the story & provides you with more decks to unlock.

3. To be honest, DotP is much more focused on the single player games. DotP for casual players / beginners to Magic universe while MTGO is for hardcore players. There is an option in DotP that allows you to duel it out with other players.

IIRC, you can set it to offline mode to play without Internet connection. I can't test it now so don't quote me on that.

Thanks for the answers again. I will try this game out as my MTGO is not working at the moment...

Perhaps you can give the demo a try first before you make the purchase?

Everyone is too busy with other games with better replayability value. Now that Expansion 2 is out, you can expect the group (which is quite dead ) & game to be revived soon.

expansion 2 patch note

Functionality
- Winning a custom game loaded from a saved game awards the appropriate unlocks.
- Entering deck manager from the card unlock screen will no longer return you to a blank menu.
- Leader boards should now scroll correctly
- Teeth of the predator should now foil correctly.

Display
-Ranked Two-Headed Giant life totals display correctly after completing an unranked -Player Match.
-Unlock deck button does not appear when deck has been fully unlocked.
-Text no longer runs over borders.
-Custom duel opponents’ portraits, names, and decks match.
-Vein Drinkers card text in French is now complete.

Performance
Improved performance while dragging cards with the mouse.
The following activities should no longer cause the client to quit unexpectedly:
• Attacking
• Playing Challenges
• Customizing the keyboard
• Scrolling past 100 entries in leaderboards

i hope they fixed the card refused to zoom out bug.

one time, i scrolled middle mouse to zoom in, then the card resolved suddenly and my whole screen blocked liao cannot see anything.

still won the match lulz.

OK, so in this game we only have fixed decks with a limited pool of extra cards to customize them right? That kinda sucks...
