Magic: The Gathering Online vs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Magic: The Gathering Online
Magic: The Gathering Online brings the renowned tradable card game series to the growing online community of card game enthusiasts (finally). Containing every card ever devised for the original board game, Magic: The Gathering Online (or Magic Online for short) is an MMOTCG that has everything that a typical online card game would have, including collecting cards, building decks and duelling other players. Similar to most popular card games, this game is also very active among the eSports community, allowing the best of the best to showcase their skills on a much bigger platform for prizes that can be brought over into the real life.Magic: The Gathering Online may not be as popular as Hearthstone mainly due to its rather high skill ceiling, especially for players who are not familiar with its traditional card-and-board game. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try the online adaptation of the world's most popular and original (many other card games are inspired by this franchise) card game.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links is an MMOTCG that's based on the popular Yu-Gi-Oh anime series and card-dueling game franchise, which possibly is among the most sophisticated and yet well-made of all time. And as such, the learning curve for this game can be quite daunting to say the least and as a result, the game isn't a game for everyone nor that it tries to be.That said, the game allows you to not only go up against famous characters from the anime series, like Yami Yugi, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler, but also duel other players in real time. Unlike the 40-card decks that most CCGs (including the previous Yu-Gi-Oh games) use, decks in this game only have 20 cards... and not to mention, these decks are presets linked to the character that you use. So in other words, there is no deck-building nor a character of your own to customize. This actually provides a certain amount of challenge since players will be forced to mold their own play styles to the decks present in the game.
Some may say that Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links doesn't really live up to the franchise as the game is very obviously "toned down" (in terms of complexity rather than difficulty) to fit it for the average mobile gamer. But if you really think about it, these changes are all necessary just to turn this amazingly intricate game into a mobile game. So, all in all, we'd recommend this game to fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh series and players who are curious to find out what this card game franchise is all about.
