Magic Duels: Origins vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG
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.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Evolution: TCG is an MMO card game based on the popular card-dueling anime manga of a similar name. It provides you with the original Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay that you can play on your web browser for completely free. With tons of gorgeously and meticulously drawn cards, and challenging opponents to fight against, this is definitely the sort of trading card game (TCG) that will delight fans of the genre!If you're familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh!, the gameplay in this game shouldn't be too hard to grasp. However, for new players, you just need to understand this one thing weaker monsters can be summoned directly when the card is played but 5 to 6-star monsters will require a tribute to be summoned. Not to mention, more powerful monsters usually have special monster effects (such as Special Summon). These monster effects can really tip the scales of the duel in your favor when played right, so you really need to be familiar with your cards.
Despite its pretty much non-existent storyline, Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Evolution TCG Online is a decent free-to-play TCG. It’s surprisingly challenging and it offers up the sort of depth that fans of the genre would most certainly enjoy.
