Magic Duels: Origins vs Spellweaver
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.
Spellweaver
Spellweaver is a free-to-play, MMO tradable card game (TCG) that features a deep card game mechanics that were inspired from popular card games such as Magic: The Gathering. Aside from hundreds of gorgeous collectible cards, the game also features a deep gameplay with elements of quest progression from online RPGs that lets you explore the lore and world of the game. This makes Spellweaver rather fun to play without forcing you to play its ranked multiplayer, though it is not entirely unique in this respect because many other CCGs boast of offering PvE campaigns as well.Newcomers to the game, especially those who have not played any CCGs before let alone Magic the Gathering, may find that the skill ceiling in this game can be a tad bit high. However, for mid-core or veteran players, this game offers them an intriguingly stragetic and challenging gameplay that will make them doubt their loyalty to Hearthstone or any of their current favorite MMOCCG.
