Just wanted to say I tried this on iOS and it was very clunky to me. It is streamlined in all the wrong ways and if this is the answer to Hearthstone, from a play and UI design they still do not get it.

It says a lot about the greatness of Magic, that year after year, we put up with the utter incompetence of WotC's digital division. I, to my own detriment, once again eagerly await the games release (XBO) while the publisher does nothing to even attempt to communicate with its fanbase, to pass along a simple update. Disgusting.
I don't know. It seems they are encouraging these things. Just look at Jace's ridiculous story battles.

I gave up on this game when after I beat the entire story I still couldn't figure out how to make the ui pick cards I wanted etc in certain mechanic situations.
So instead I just play some paper with the wife. I'll jump back on someday I'm sure but only if the devs patch it enough to warrant more time from me.

Play enough single player in this and you will know exactly what the AI is going to pull out to even up the board state somewhat. Also, I've been playing the game for years and years. I have very rarely drawn 10 lands in a row, but in Duels (and DotP) it's a thing that happens regularly. I'm happy that the AI isn't brain dead this time around, but it's definitely got that old-school racer rubber banding feel to it.
Does this mean July 31st or in the next two days for Steam?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I heard the 29th but who knows
wotc rep confirmed on reddit it's the 29th.
Well, the Magic Duels download page has been updated with a link that says "PC", but currently it only directs to the Steam storefront, and the game doesn't show up in any search on Steam as far as I can see.

It'll show up at 10am pdt. They probably just jumped the gun.

I played a few games on my iPhone 6 this morning for the first time. It's basically unplayable if you haven't memorized all the cards (fortunately I have). Text is smaller than tiny and essential information, like graveyards, are not even on the default screen.
It was there very late last night, but it isn't showing up for me anymore. I suppose it could still come out today, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Last year they delayed the XB1 version on the day of release for like 6 months without an announcement.
I don't even know why I expect better.

Where is my Steam Depot, Wizards!? You said there was a Steam depot for this to have a release date!

F this game.
HMMMM...
Let's all go to the Morton's Factory and break a wall for the GIGANTIC MOUNTAIN OF SALT required for this.
6:34 British Standard Time. Which means: 1:34 EST which has already passed. So, yeah.......... Wizard's is late, Valve done goofed, both, or FAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKE.

This is getting to be so mishandled that it's funny.
I don't know what else they could do wrong, short of actively insulting their players.

Oncew you download it and play it you'll be saying that anyway. It is terrible.
When you launch the game it just tells you the nearest location near you where you can buy paper magic cards and then it deletes itself.
Doesn't it pretty much do that already and then punch you in the balls while saying "Thanks for the $10bux" like previous years?

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I started a bit on the iphone version, beat the first 2 story campaigns. I don't like playing on that though, nice to see PC is up.
Still though, no global accounts is whack.

Yep, it is a huge issue for me. I really like being able to play hearthstone on the go and if I want to make a deck I can do it from my PC.

Welp, let's see if that extra time post-iOS release was enough for them to iron out the bugs.
Thanks, installing now!

Win 7 with some nvidia something or other here (work PC). We'll see what happens at home tonight I guess
Only three hours late and still no word on their twitter or reddit or elsewhere about it. Way to go there, Wizards.

Seems to be working ok on my office computer, although it doesn't run particularly well in a window. Here's hoping my progress carries over when I get home, and I don't have to redo those insufferable "skill quests."
It was a mistake to pick Hearthstone back up while I waited for this. All I can think about is how slow and clunky this UI is.
