Mage – 2,450 Cards, Offline AI, Multiplayer
Mage is lets you play offline against the computer or online against other players. Mage has an AI that is better than Forge’s. Mage's AI that can generate possible futures and chooses the best one. While the AI is not as good as Magarena, it can still be quite surprising.
Mage also supports booster drafting and sealed with either computer or human players or both. I've always found booster drafting to be infinitely fun. Forge's boosting drafting is OK but since the AI is only average it doesn't always test my skills and I can beat the AI with pretty bad cards. Mage should provide great fun drafting and playing sealed deck against the computer and your friends.

Mage is very unique because it also has multiplayer games. People have asked me, “Will Forge every have multiplayer?” and I always respond, “No, because it is too freakin complicated.” Obviously the makers of Mage don’t feel that way.
Mage offers multiplayer games and you can mix human and computer players. Other multiplayer options include setting the “attacking options” which lets you attack multiple players, or only the player on your left or right. You can also change the “range of influence” which is another way of asking “How many players will be affected by Wrath of God?”
