Magic The Gathering: Battlegrounds Should be an xbox live acrade game.

...at least that's my opinion. It has some of the most replayablity I've seen in a game...it came out in 2003 and the forums for the game were still active a year ago. I personally have been playing it off and on (basically whenever I need a reliable fallback) and can play it for hours on end. It's a serious gem and belongs in the xbox live arcade selection...HD update maybe? Wide screen update maybe...otherwise she's good to go...Don't forget to include the DLC for free :-p and then when you realize how well it sells, you can start making more cards for DLC at a sweet profit...if you want proof that people like magic just look at the number of downloads for Magic the gathering Duels of the planeswalkers. Thoughts? should I post this somewhere else? if xbox wouldn't have discontinued original xbox live i wouldn't be posting anything, buuut I digress.

More proof...I hear that one of the most popular / most downloaded app games is plants vs zombies...strikingly similar to Magic the Gathering:Battlegrounds.

It's just sitting there waiting to be scooped up...will Atari Do it up like we all know they can?!

    It's not the same but a Heroes of Might and Magic puzzle tactics game is coming out next week:

    http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/05/clash-of-heroes-hd-trailer-teaches-the-tactics-of-puzzle-fightin/

    Hopefully the Magic fans will latch onto this one too, I have someone on my friends like playing Magic: Duels almost every day.

    I love this game. It should be redone, it would do well with current LIVE functionality.

    Let me just jump in here and say if you didn't grab Clash of Heroes on the DS, you really do owe it to yourself to get it on XBLA. Great, great game. Simple mechanics, lots of variety in unit types, even a half-way decent story.

    I know that has nothing to do with the OP.

    Cool that game looks like fun! Still looking for anyone willing to discuss how they feel about MTG battlegrounds...I'm hoping for some serious interest by Atari :-) Not that many games hold up from last gen like that one does...for me at least.
