The free version gives you access to 8 campaign missions with different rule modifers. it also lets you take on the AI with no modifers. you can also play online if you create an account.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'd like to say Cthulhu Realms does better, but in truth while the core concept -- that decks are generated as you play rather than before the game starts -- eliminates balance issues for the most part, the interface and opaqueness of the gameplay to a newcomer are enough to leave me wishing the game had seen a little more care at the design stage.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art is cartoony and pretty funny, even though I would've preferred a darker art style, MTG style, with the occasional humorous touch.
