Re: Why Heroscapers should buy Magic:Arena of the Planeswalk
From my perspective, AoTP loses significant elements of Heroscape strategy with the lack of OM management and the lack of any need to incrementally develop your army (since units just appear in a developed position). It is, also much more swingy, due to the addition of draw luck and the reliance on the planeswalker figure.

That said, it's still a decent game, interesting in its own right, and has good fodder for customs. I own all the sets, although I won the main set as a Gencon prize and got the expansions for very cheap.
