First of all, I must say that I am a paper magic player, I also played Magic Online, and some of the other games (duels of the planswalker)

Saying that, This is how I see things. It is a good computer game. It is not a total replacement of paper magic, it's not as fast, or smooth. BUT, it is in my opinion way better than previous realeases.
You can build your decks, pretty much as you wan. The quests and the solo mode provides source of in game currency, so if you play, you wont have to pay... And this is where this is going well. Playing MTGO is really, really, exepensive for a computer game. Magic Duels is not...

It was kinda laggy before, but now it's going ok, Servers are fixed I guess.

Give it a go, it's free, you can hear the story of five planswalker, while playing a game that is fun...
If you want to play some magic, but don't want to pay for MTGO, while you already have your cards IRL, it's probably what you're looking for.
