Hearthstone vs Magic Duels: Origins
Hearthstone
Hearthstone is an incredibly popular MMOCCG that features familiar and beloved characters from Blizzard's Warcraft universe. The game combines class skills with a competitive and well-balanced gameplay as well as an amazing database of over 400 cards from 3 different types, namely weapons, minions and spells. There are plenty of game modes, both single player and multiplier PvP, for you to enjoy too! Due to its incredible popularity (for a card game) in eSports, its competitive scene may be a bit tough to break into unless you are willing to spend plenty of time and effort into improving you game. That said, if you enjoy MMOCCGs, Hearthstone is surely the one game you mustn't miss out on! The game can be played across platforms as well.Magic Duels: Origins
Magic Duels: Origins is another MMOTCG developed by the same people behind Magic: The Gathering Online. However, this game aims bigger - there are more cards - with over 1300 of them - and has a better crafted and in-depth strategy element to it. Play as the iconic Planeswalker as you experience the new story-driven Amonkhet campaign via its Story Mode, or you can play cooperatively with up to 4 of your friends to take down a Two-Headed Giant. Of course, like most card games, there is also a competitive multiplayer mode where you can test your mettle against players from all around the world, but before you dive into the competitive scene, you might want to hone your skills with its vs-AI mode first.However, like most Magic: The Gathering-based games, the game scene can be rather tough for newcomers to break into due to its higher skill ceiling. As a result, the game became more of niche game for fans of the franchise rather than blowing up on the online gaming scene like Hearthstone did. That is not to say that Hearthstone is any easier to play though - it is simply more accessible to new players.
That said, if you're a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you'll want to play this game. To many, it is definitely way better than Magic Online.
