Preservation edition · October 3, 2026 · Geekenstein Editorial
Historical source: Jake Petersen; March 28, 2013. This is a newly written, condensed account of the retained coverage, with original opinions attributed to their writer. It is not a full-text reproduction or a new firsthand review.
The historical coverage
Petersen’s PAX East preview reported a demonstration of the forthcoming Magic 2014 game and a brief opportunity to speak with its makers. Android tablet support was highlighted as a first for the series. The coverage also discussed Chandra’s prominence, new decks, encounters and puzzles.
This was event coverage before release, with features presented as expectations from the demonstration. It should not be read as a comprehensive review of the finished game or a current support list for the named platforms.
The later July review and expansion coverage provide separate checkpoints. Retaining that sequence preserves the distinction between a convention impression and a release assessment. No unrecorded interview answers are supplied here: this edition summarises the retained written preview, while the separately named Mark Purvis interview remains subject to its missing-media gate.
A present-day reading note
The following is new editorial analysis, separate from the historical writer’s words and play report.
Petersen’s July review treated the game as an approachable digital Magic experience. Its historical context is important: interface, platform versions, purchasing options and online services should not be inferred from a 2013 review. Check the platform you already own before buying anything on the basis of an old recommendation.
