Duelyst vs Magic: The Gathering Online
Duelyst
Duelyst is a free-to-play MMOCCG with an added turn-based and strategic gameplay and a rather epic storyline set in the beautiful world of Mythron. Although you'll be building decks using cards from five different factions and playing them, the cards will turn into awesome-looking 2D sprites when played on the board. Aside from the fast-paced gameplay, the board itself is also tactically designed, making the positions of each of your heroes incredibly important. The game has some really fast-paced mechanics and several game modes as well.Duelyst focuses more on online gameplay and as such, this game can be a tad bit competitive, but if you're not the "climb-the-ranks" sort, you can still enjoy the game as it is.
Magic: The Gathering Online
Magic: The Gathering Online brings the renowned tradable card game series to the growing online community of card game enthusiasts (finally). Containing every card ever devised for the original board game, Magic: The Gathering Online (or Magic Online for short) is an MMOTCG that has everything that a typical online card game would have, including collecting cards, building decks and duelling other players. Similar to most popular card games, this game is also very active among the eSports community, allowing the best of the best to showcase their skills on a much bigger platform for prizes that can be brought over into the real life.Magic: The Gathering Online may not be as popular as Hearthstone mainly due to its rather high skill ceiling, especially for players who are not familiar with its traditional card-and-board game. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try the online adaptation of the world's most popular and original (many other card games are inspired by this franchise) card game.
