Oh cr@p, do I need to upgrade my existing deck. It is 4yrs old. Are they still compatible if I wanna play with newer members?

Yea dude, you can play Extended or even Legacy formats, and for $5 you can purchase the Planeswalkers set, which is basically the same as the xbox live sets of cards, great fun to play.

Silverlight is like Flash, your browser will most likely cache the game client once it is downloaded.

Interesting approach they got there though... nice thing about is is not needing to download the updates, which were tiny anyway, I think they probably want to re-haul the system and scan HD card art or something, would look pretty sweet though!
