Magic Online is a new video game based on the popular card game, Magic: The Gathering. This new game uses the concept of virtual economy to create a new type of card game. In addition to incorporating the collectible aspect of the card game, Magic Online also includes a social aspect. Players can chat and make friends with others who share the same interest in the same hobby. The service was launched on June 24, 2002 and allows players to compete with each other through the Internet.
Another advantage of Magic Online is its ease of management. You can sort your collection by quantity, power, toughness, rarity, or any combination of these. You can also mark individual cards for trading. You can view individual cards with three different zoom levels to get the most detail. This means that you can see your entire collection in one go, and you can check if there are any bargains out there. And because the game is free, you don't need a high-speed internet connection to play it.
As a bonus, Magic Online has an active secondary market. There are bots that run automated programs and trade cards to increase their profits. The simplest ones will buy three rares and offer two for one ticket. More complex ones will keep detailed price lists and note trends. If a card is being sold by many traders for one ticket, that's a good indication that the bid price is too high and you should stop buying it.
