I recommend giving Magic: The Gathering – Puzzle Quest a try if you are a fan of match-three RPGs and fantasy card games.

Puzzle Quest’s simple mechanics work great along MtG’s tactical complexity. [02/2016, p.68]

It gets the best of both genres, and it gets it right. It works pretty much for every kind of player, but if you enjoy Magic, then it's a game you should try.

Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest is an appealing combination of deck building and match three, but the pace is a little too slow.

Any fan of either Puzzle Quest or Magic: The Gathering would do well to check the game out.

Magic: The Gathering fans will be surprised to see how much of that card game’s mechanics remain intact in this match-3 version, and even casual mobile fans who have never played the original can appreciate Puzzle Quest’s added depth to the formula. You’ll even get a lot out of it without spending any real money, although the thirst for more cards will definitely tempt you.

Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest is a genuine quality free-to-play game. As with all match-3 games, it's not the most in-depth or complex experience available, but the Magic: The Gathering license is used well, and the aesthetic design makes is the perfect casual time-waster for those train trips or quick breaks.

It’s definitely fun and a different take on both match-3 and Magic, but it’s going to need some updating wizardry to completely captivate me for the long term.
