Hello everyone, its been a long while since i have been active here.
My kids and I are going to start playing Mage Wars 1st edition (I have two copies of the original base set)
 but since i bought those a lot of changes have taken place with the 2nd edition or reprinting of Mage Wars ...now Mage Wars : Arena   and the addition of Mage Wars Academy.

Because I own 2 of the original base set I don't think I am inclined to buy into Academy , But  I wanted to know if there have been any changes to the rules and or mechanics to the original game that makes it essential to get the newer Arena version of the game?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
