If you have to pick one or the other, I recommend Magic. But more than that, I recommend buying the one that you don't get from the AE (for an extra $10)

Cyborg Pack
Magic Pack
Both are equally "effective; they just add cool costume parts and a flavor power. It's a matter of taste which you get.

I would take Magic. But not really an "effective" thing.
Cyborg has a much more effective power, but the High Collar Capes from the magic pack are just awesome.
Unless you always solo and have a self rez or awaken ready every hour, Mystic Fortune is a better power than Self Destruction, IMO.

Well, I solo most of the time, and I use Self Destruct fairly often. To get back to a hospital from the far side of Nerva or deep in Perez; to avoid debt while being mobbed in a losing fight; that sort of thing.

I thought they were both really cool so I grabbed the pair.

What Nethergoat said.
Also, if you're into robotic characters, you'll most likely love additional costume options in the Cyborg pack.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Im partial to magic, primarily because the game proper has a lot of tech looking options, but really both are very good, but if you have to choose, magic is a bit better. maybe wait till you start having chracter ideas, are they more tech or magic? that would be the best way to tell.
I'd say go Magic.
Magic just has better costume options imo.
I bought both packs, love the cyborg belt, don't even use any of the other things Cyborg gave.
Magic, I hate the boots for female (feet are way to big), and the gloves clip (show skin) but the rest of the pack is great imo.
Juggle emotes, Fortune Teller temp...Magic is just better imo.

There's really only one "bad" fortune, right? "The Fool," which reduces your tohit but bumps up your speed and regen a nice bit. I was surpised at how much quicker I was under that one.

Frankly, if you have the money, all the little costume additions, emotes and powers in all the booster packs are nice to have. But I prefer robots, powered exoskeletons and cyborgs too. To pop and lock instead of the boring old dance moves was what sold me on the Cyborg pack.

Both. They are each terrific.
If you must pick, decide if you like magical cloaks and emotes, or robot/cyborg costumes more.
For pure poweer-gaming, Magic, for mystic fortune, as detailed above. Very useful.

Yes, I like Force Fields.
I have neither, but when I feel like spending $10, I'll go for Magic just 'cause of the costume change emotes. If they go back and add new CC emotes only usable by those with the Cyborg Pack, I'll likely buy that one too.
I just bought the AE version of the game to reactivate my account. Don't ask, long story.
My question is, should I use cyborg or magic? ATM the game is still downloading and I just wanted to make sure I didn't take the one that is the least effective. Thanks!
