Heroes of the Storm vs Magic Duels: Origins
Heroes of the Storm
Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA game developed by Blizzard which features all the prominent heroes and villains (or in general characters) that you may be familiar with in the Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo universes. Heroes can be tailored to your playstyle through their talents and even skins. Aside from its amazing and ever-expanding list of heroes, the game also features uniquely-designed battlegrounds for you to battle in, experience-sharing (across members of the team) as well as a strong emphasis on objective-based teamplay. To sum up, if you are looking for an intense MOBA game with the likes of LoL or DotA 2 and yet is friendly enough for newcomers, Heroes of the Storm may just be the perfect game for you!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.
