MTG Arena of the Planeswalkers tabletop game

Hi! I know it's a bit different than the card game but was wondering if anyone else plays it? I found it by chance in a thrift shop a few years ago and became obsessed -- it's basically a modified version of this cult wargame Heroscape but tweaked to fit the MTG universe. And it's such a steal because Heroscape is so sought after and so expensive! I really really like it and highly recommend it if you ever stumble upon it, even to just get it for the figures because they can easily be repainted to be more detailed for DND and other roleplaying games


There's a base game and two expansions and I got them all for under $70? Idk it was a total steal considering the costs of even one tabletop game nowadays. There's also a pretty active community of making custom cards for the game and you can buy parts from Heroscape to modify the terrain however you like. Here's an example of a setup from the original Heroscape game:


It's a lot of fun! Prob my most played tabletop game in my collection :)

I think someone made a version of it on Tabletop Simulator on Steam, we could play virtually there
