Planting New Touches To Harvest a Better Game – A Mystic Vale Updated Review
I had the opportunity to review Mystic Vale on their mobile platform earlier this year but, did not have the best experience when compared to other competitions such as Magic The Gathering and other deck-building games in said genre.

Game Review: Mystic Vale – Just Another Deckbuilder
Mystic Vale is a deck building card game much akin to the likes of Hearthstone and MTG (Magic the Gathering). Though unfortunately, doesn’t meet what most consider the base line for engaging deck building games – at least online. Right from start, going through the tutorial I was left with more questions than answers. It felt more like reading a manual than learning how to play ...[Read More]
