Hex: Shards of Fate vs Magic Duels: Origins
Hex: Shards of Fate
Hex: Shards of Fate is a challenging MMO trading card game (TCG) where you play a wandering champion in the fictional world of Entrath. The game features a 1-on-1 card battle where you must deplete your opponent’s life to zero in order to win, as well as strategically in-depth deck-building and factions to side with. The gameplay draws inspiration from the popular board-based TCGs, such as Magic The Gathering which had admittedly gotten it into a bit of a tough spot with a lawsuit back in 2015. The game may have a slightly higher skill ceiling, but it's a solid MMOTCG that fans of the genre will enjoy. If you happen to count yourself among them, then Hex: Shards of Fate is a game you'll want to play.
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.
