In Magic, Evelyn's card asks you to play Vampires-easy enough for anyone that's considered Edgar Markov (who's the wrong colors to join Evelyn in a Commander deck) or Sorin the Mirthless for a deck. It probably belonged to her first anyway. (From "The Legends You'll Find in Streets of New Capenna ," written by Miguel Lopez, Ari Zirulnik, and Grace Fong.)Įvelyn is a collector of sorts, and she takes possession of whatever she deems necessary-by any means necessary. She may be a collector, but she was a killer first, and any life less than her own is a life that can be cheaply spent. "Polite and generous, accommodating to young Maestros-they're all young to her-and initiates to the family, Evelyn is nonetheless not one to be underestimated. Her expertise is such that she is one of the only people besides Lord Xander himself to have access to his private archives. In the time since, she has lived many lives, but through them all, she has collected and maintained a sprawling private collection of artifacts from the old world. The first to receive the gift of vampirism from Xander, Evelyn still remembers the old days of Old Capenna, what the world was like before it was emptied. "Once, she called Lord Xander a lover-but that was lifetimes and passions ago. No, the true old guard is vanishingly small: the heads of the five families, and Evelyn, the Covetous. The Maestros boast the greatest complement of long-lived members-easy enough when they lay claim to Xander's gift of vampirism-but most of them, too, were made after the shining tower of New Capenna was raised. There are some of the especially aged sphinxes in the Obscura and a handful of wizened rhox among the reveling ranks of the Cabaretti who were there in the early days. We didn’t get a chance to check on lower-end and older phones, but given MTG Arena is a turn-based game, device performance won’t affect play success.īut what about other phones? Would it help to play with something more precise and mouse-adjacent.Art by: Marta Nael "Few people in New Capenna remember the old world.

Graphically, top-tier phones will render cards with similar fidelity to their PC versions.just don’t be surprised by some slight jagged edges. Given the plethora of creature, artifact, and enchantments with powerful text, you’ll be frequently long-pressing your opponent’s cards before you make your moves – or checking their graveyard for what spell just walloped your side of the board. There are some compromises when playing on a small screen: as previously noted, the art for each card can get very small after it’s played on the field, and while critical info like creature stats are thankfully very visible, you’ll have to long-press minions to get a proper look at them and their abilities. And yes, the former’s punch-hole was far less obstructing than the notch that still cuts into the screen on the leading Apple phone, but the MTG Arena’s developers were smart enough to keep the sides of the playing field clear. That’s not to say all MTG Arena mobile experiences are equal: it was a bit easier to handle everything going on when playing on the nearly 6.8-inch display on the Asus ROG 5 compared to the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 12 Pro.

Your hand will be half-hidden at the bottom of the screen, and will need to be tapped to spread them out on the screen (hiding most of the playing field) to pick
Admittedly, the cards are shrunk down so much that you might confuse similar-looking ones for each other, but you likely won’t lose track of creatures, enchantments, or other card types that linger on the battlefield. The MTG Arena mobile app setup is identical, just more compact. On top is a mirrored setup for your opponent’s hand, life, deck, and discard pile. MTG Arena already does a lot of work approximating a combat card game: when in a match, your cards in hand are fanned out on the bottom and a life counter above it, with your deck and discard pile on the left and phase indicator - where you’re at on the current turn - on the right. Shrinking that down to a phone screen requires a little compromise, but it’s doable - and the core of games like MTG can be preserved. There’s no getting around how much better it feels to use a mouse to control games that need a lot of precision, like real-time strategy, tabletop, or card games - and see everything happening on a big screen.
