Good game but.........

This really is a great idea for a game with the Magic The Gathering Card game system.
It utilizes all the rules of the card game automating most of them. Giving some as abilities to be unlocked by the various Plainswalkers and some that require certain gem card combinations to unlock. Pretty cool so far. You can customize your decks to your playing styles. It can get really challenging, but quite fun to play.
And there are different ways to play it. You can quest ala RPG style and follow a story line. Or you can quick battle other players to fine tune your fighting skills and gain special cards. There are also events in which you put a team of Plainswalkers together and work for a goal. Terrific
So, far.
Problems. They either perform maintenance every week so the games down for a good two to eight hours, then follow it with an update. It up dates quite regularly. And so far, every update you lose things, cards, points, youll be advancing on a certain track and suddenly discover, youre back at the beginning.
Then theres the AI. all games are against an AI that uses the decks and abilities of other players.
Ill use the Quick Battle mode as an example, though it also applies to the Event mode and the Story mode to some degree.
In Quick Battle, you are ranked by how many battles you win and your win loss ratio. This gains you prizes. Ranking goes from 1000 at the bottom to 1 at the top. In all the time playing this, and Ive played it since it first was offered in the App Store.
Ive never reached first place, never, heres why.
As your wins mount, the AI suddenly gets really "lucky" playing incredible card combinations and matching gems in huge cascades. It basically becomes unbeatable.
I commented to the game developers several times about this, and they have acknowledged that it does seem to happen. Ive yet to see it fixed, completely, though these unbeatable AI moments seem to be diminishing. They still crop up. They also have fixed several cards that when played seem to wipe out the opponent.
Then theres the up dates
I again use Quick Battle mode as an example, though I have seen this in Story mode also.
Your advancing nicely, gaining ground and moving up the standings, an upgrade comes through and youre back on the bottom. This has happened several times.
Over all a fun game. If you like playing the card game youll probably like this, if you can ignore the set backs of the AI and the upgrades.
