Reception
The original Magic Online generally met favorable reviews, usually ranking in the high seventies on a 100 point scale. Version 2 of Magic Online was very similar to version 1 regarding the interface and functionality. Thus the problems of stability in the transition phase from version 1 to version 2 stood out in the perception of the public. Version 3 was released in April 2008. Community responses to the new client was largely negative in the beginning, due to reduced functionality of the new client, its perceived ugliness, and plenitude of bugs. Still, a large Magic Online community exists and grows due to the core functionality of the game working at replicating the paper Magic: The Gathering.
