Chronicles: Runescape Legends vs Magic Duels: Origins
Chronicles: Runescape Legends
Chronicles: Runescape Legends is an entertaining and innovative MMOCCG based on the beloved Runescape universe by Jagex. The game provides the usual aspects of an MMOCCG... mainly the need to collect cards and build great decks, but it also has something very different to bring to the table - a uniquely different gameplay. As opposed to traditional collectible card games, heroes of both sides will be duelling creatures deployed from cards played by their opponents until they reach the end of the game. Here, they will then fight each other to determine the winner. Of course, let's not forget that the heroes and creatures you play will materialize on the playing board in 3D!Chronicles: Runescape Legends may not be as popular as Hearthstone but if you're a fan of Runescape or simply an avid CCG player who enjoys something different, this is the game you should 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.
