Several video games based on Magic: The Gathering have been made for various systems, falling into one of two categories: either direct adaptations of the card game into a digital format, or games that draw on the setting and characters more than the card game itself. Because of the complex rules and ever-evolving supply of expansions and cards to adapt, programming the A.I. of these games can be exceedingly difficult and require frequent updates.List of Video Game Adaptations Magic The Gathering Microprose Magic The Gathering Battlemage Magic The Gathering Armageddon Magic The Gathering Sega Magic The Gathering Online Magic: The Gathering – Battlegrounds Magic The Gathering Tactics Magic The Gathering Duels Of The Planeswalkers Magic Duels Magic The Gathering Arena | |

A.I. Roulette | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_479ea2c1 | comment |
A.I. Roulette: On the other hand, the computer has a particular talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory because it randomly selects its moves. It's particularly amusing to see it countering its own spells. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Also, despite cases of Artificial Stupidity mentioned above, Microprose game was capable of some very impressive plays, some of which even human players wouldn't think of, like using Jump to counter Basilisk + Lure combo note Basilisk destroys everything it fights, and lure forces every creature opponent controls to block it, which means you can clear entire the board with it. Jump gives target creature flying for one turn (making it unblockable to anything but other fliers, and creatures with reach), which effectively negates above combo or using Firebreathing on your creatures with Meekstone note Firebreathing lets you "boost" attack power of a creature, and Meekstone prevents creatures with high power from untapping next turn.. The former is even more impressive, since AI is reacting to the player having *just* this particular setup in play. | |

Allegedly Free Game | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_97c6b148 | comment |
Allegedly Free Game: Arena advertises that it's free to download and play. However, befitting the card game the game is based on, you must buy booster packs to add to your collection to customize your original setup. Of course, most of the demographic that the game is aimed at expected this...as they play the card game the game is based on. Oh, and you need to spend real money to buy more chapters of the story mode. Much like Star Chamber. Online also charges real-world money for in-game cards and for tournaments that give out prizes. Once you have the cards, though, "casual" play is free. Magic Online works more-or-less exactly like the paper game, barring the availability of some older cards. It's not intended as a self-contained game so much as a client for playing the card game online. | |

Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_9a117348 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: The Microprose game used wizard ones: You could further adjust difficulty by choosing your color; red, green, and white were easier than black and blue, just because of the low life totals. | |

A.I. Breaker | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_d0ea147f | comment |
A.I. Breaker: While the AI of the Microprose game isn’t very smart by itself, it does seem to understand the game… until you play Black Vise. At this point the computer will do whatever it takes to reduce its own hand, even if the move itself is worse than just taking the damage or even if there's an obvious, obviously better move (using a card to kill his own creatures when he can kill yours, for example), and even if it's well below the four-card safe range. We can do you one better: The enemy A.I will also do similar moves if it's above the seven card limit. And there are a few decks that can eliminate enemy lands with ease. Therefore, mana lock him, and he will be enchanting your creatures with Holy Strength in no time. Also, while no pre-built deck combines Spellbook (no hand size limit) with Ivory Tower (Gain life every turn equal to the cards in hand minus four), should YOU make one and the computer gets both those cards on the field, he will proceed to play NOTHING. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| Magic: The Gathering (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance: For Duel of the Planeswalkers, the programmers had a very difficult task in programming an AI that could deal with all the rule-changing cards of the game itself (and there are possibly more of them than in any other card game because of Magic's "Golden Rule", which states that the text of a card takes priority over the rest of the rules). Seemingly they succeeded. This refers mostly to the second game by that name and publisher. While the first game's AI was a remarkable achievement for its time, there was no way to provide it with hints on how to play specific decks, rendering a number of monsters crippled in the single-player game (their difficulty was instead balanced though life handicapping and chance of A.I. Roulette). (It also tended to cast any playable spell as soon as possible, and assume you have no castable spells, a greater weakness given the longer games 5th Edition tended towards.) Also, despite cases of Artificial Stupidity mentioned above, Microprose game was capable of some very impressive plays, some of which even human players wouldn't think of, like using Jump to counter Basilisk + Lure combo note Basilisk destroys everything it fights, and lure forces every creature opponent controls to block it, which means you can clear entire the board with it. Jump gives target creature flying for one turn (making it unblockable to anything but other fliers, and creatures with reach), which effectively negates above combo or using Firebreathing on your creatures with Meekstone note Firebreathing lets you "boost" attack power of a creature, and Meekstone prevents creatures with high power from untapping next turn.. The former is even more impressive, since AI is reacting to the player having *just* this particular setup in play. | |
