Ah Nice there seems to come a mobile version (at least you can pre-register in Android). The only way I would be able to play the game. So curious how this works out...
Visually it looks similar to Artifact, but easier to see what is going on because everything is on a single screen. Mechanically, I guess it's closer to MtG, since you can assign blockers and react what the opponent is doing during a turn. It does have a mana curve like Hearthstone instead of lands, but with unspent mana being put into a separate pool that can only be used for spells.
I saw some RNG on cards, but not a whole lot. Probably less than HS, certainly less than Artifact with its random attack directions.
It's F2P, so more people are likely to try it out. You have some control over which region (class/color equivalent) you get cards from, so if you only play a particular type of deck, you can get only cards you need for that. I have no idea how competitive you can be without spending money, I guess it's too early to tell anyway since they can also re-tune the economy during the beta phase.
So yeah, it addresses the main concerns people had with Artifact.
This could have been amazing... and almost was... but N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Mysterious Challenger have turned Standard into Wild Lite---i.e., first to draw degenerate combo wins. I think they went just a little too far. Without those two cards (and maybe something more playable for Warlock), it would have been pretty good.
I have been playing a lot of Warlock lately, and I keep thinking to myself "What if Warlock got Defile instead of Renounce Darkness?" Defile would have been a true game changer for Warlock, but alas...
Competition is always good for the consumer. I hope it'll force Blizzard to fix long-standing issues with the game, the game economy, etc. If it's good enough, I might even play this new game.
Oooo, I can't wait to get my hands on this book and the first one. I love the art of Hearthstone, and I know that the game can't last forever. When it does end, I'll have the books to keep the art by.
I just noticed that you guys added a section to the website for a card game that has not even been only just released. Meanwhile, there is a very high quality card game that has been in existence for 2-3 years called Eternal, which does not have a section on the site.
And it's recently been getting a lot of new players coming over from Hearthstone. Maybe you could consider adding a section for Eternal?
Honestly, I somewhat doubt MTGA will ever come to mobile. Everything in the game just seems too complicated to be able to make fluid play on mobile possible (lots of UI issues for instance). It's also a bit counterproductive for the game's demographic (those who want longer games that have much more strategy and time to think things over). The game is also already hard to run on PC for some players, and running it on mobile would be even worse. I'm sure the devs have plans for it and are trying their very best to make it work, but actually making it work will require a miracle, to put it lightly.
There is only one way for a lol card game to really compete with hs, it needs to be mobile. I love tft, but the lack of a mobile version is a big problem, compared to the other autochess games.

This stinks of Artifact. I hope it goes well though. I'm a fan of any kind of competition that tries something different.
Although Eternal and TesL currently vie for my Hearthstone pounds, and both of those are established and doing quite well.
If you mobile players out there want an experience closer to M:TG on mobile then I can't recommend Eternal enough.

i agree MtG is way too hardcore to be implemented into mobile cause of the UI. it was already a mess in Magic Online cant imagine mobiles
