Summary

You may have thought Mage Wars Academy is simply a M:TG knockoff but that surely isn't the case as the title has a lot going for it worthy of your attention. You don't have to worry about the sheer randomness M:TG sometimes brings to the table as you have access to your spellbook spells at any time. This is sure to please fantasy gamers and well worth adding to your collection!
