Just picked up the Master Set and many expansions on a math trade. Was cool to see this video after such many years.

As a guy who's played and enjoyed MTG for years and just started Summoner Wars - I can assure you it's not as you describe. This game actually has more strategic depth within the actual gameplay than MTG and far more balanced than theme decks - plus more variety in its gameplay than just buying a few theme decks from any expansion. Also MUCH easier to teach new players and no such thing as mana screw or flood. Summoner Wars is definitely worth a look. MTG remains awesome all the same

As a lover of Stratego (my all time favorite game) I happened upon Summoner Wars one day and came to love it. Granted, I still don't actually own the tabletop version - I play the Iphone app. BUT! My copy of the Master Set is on its way! To me it is very reminiscent of Stratego in that you are moving units about that have special abilities. While Summoner Wars' units are a bit more beefy than the Miner or Scout in Stratego, I think the general idea is the same :P I agree with Tom, this is one of my all time favorites. Simple, elegant, fast and exceptional quality. My only complaint (as it is with any game) is that it's hard for new players to keep up with the cards on the board. They often forget to use special abilities of their own or they must constantly look at your units to remember yours. But with time you get to know the armies.

Thanks for this review, Tom! I was FINALLY able to find this Master Set for a decent price in the secondary market. I contacted Plaid Hat and they said that their parent company was in talks to merge with Asmodee and they weren't planning on any reprints :( Sounds like these may get tough to find.

The game is actually finishing up, they released the final expansion packs for the game. If you purchased the last eight packs from Plaid hat they sent some updated Errata cards and dividers with the order. I have been playing this game since 2009. Totally love this game have the whole set, Sleeved the set in Summoner wars sleeves even. I still play this till this very day as well as their newer game Ashes!

Great review Tom. A couple notes: I own every card to date and I have them all sleeved. Everything fits in the master set box if you stack the factions 2 to a slot. There is probably enough room for 2 more factions or one more reinforcement pack. Also, Tom got a few of the details wrong about specific cards (although the gist was correct). If you want to look at all the cards, go to the Plaid Hat Games website or board game geek.

Agreed I played MTG since beta set and also played and sold Warhammer/Warhammer40k and this game is a marriage of both and does it well. Thing I loved that you kind of touched on for new players they do not need to go out buy starter decks boosters they can come over pick one of the sets I have or pay 10 usd and jump right in on even deck strength. In MTG my deck cost me 232 usd just to have a chance at my game store. (note played with a random guy at my game store using his starter beat him.)

I just bought the Summoner Wars Master Set. Unfortunately it didn't come with the plastic box insert for the decks like Tom's, instead it came with a bunch of plastic baggies. I'm not really a fan of bagging my cards (I don't mean sleeves, I mean little plastic bags for each deck), so I'm definitely disappointed in that aspect of the set.

I intend to purchase all of them at one time but cannot find what I need to buy after the master set and starter set the rest are decks boxes but not sure how many and how many reinforcements there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated planning on playing this at my local game shop.

I don't think it's right to compare this to warhammer, I know you like this game and all but having a bunch of cards strewn out over a table is not compareable to having an army of small miniatures all painted up, facing another on a beautiful landscape. Having said that, this game seems fun too though :)

No, no... I agree with you. However this game has expansions just like MtG, and the art/design is a little weak. It would be nice to have a stand alone game of this kind that was as good as MtG. As it is... you could buy 5 or 6 older theme decks and have a better experience with the same cost as long as you agree not to keep buying cards.
