Friendliness, as I was managed to build a decent enough deck that wasn't aggro only a mere 2 months after playing (It was a Tempo/Control hybrid) and reminds me of TF2 in a way where it has a lot of potential for being great, but it's not being used properly like TF2 which kind of makes me PART 2
As a Legends player the summary is pretty accurate, but the flop part isn't. The client sucks ass, but has been updated so frequent recently since the new client can pump out updates much faster without having any dowmtime. That being said I believe that legends should take the cake for F2P part 1
@Aigars Mahinovs: you know its cute that you think mtga is not not expensive and that the gold is enough to get by on here the problem the intro decks are trash the gold is not enough to get players the packs they need to stand a chance in constructed.
MTG:Arena is not expensive at all - you can play for free and get a bunch of decent beginner decks in less than a week of hour-per-day free play. And those decks have a good number of rares and commons to craft your own decks with. Plus gold from dailies gives you 1-2 drafts per week, which is a LOT
I'm playing F2P Arena, and currently own a few decks decently done.
There's a free code "PlayRavnica" that gives 3 packs for free.
Also, By December they expect a Friend-list available for 1v1 games.
I also got a couple Pre-release codes if anyone wants. Allegedly they last until next year.
Card games? booooring. If I were to play a table game on the PC, that will be without doubt chess. Most cards games are not exactly what you did call a "strategy" game, but chess is like the ancient version of RTS.
IMO, the competitiveness of a game depends on the number of players and tournaments more than anything else, not on how "balanced" or "complex" the rule set is. So, you want to avoid meta/cancer decks, play a game with less players. If you want to be competitive, play a game with more players.
I don't know anything about the other games, but Hearthstone is anything but cheap outside of arena mode.
It's kind of odd that you left out Shadowverse, which is similar to hearthstone and significantly cheaper. It also lacks the 'Hearthstone RNG™' and is anime as fuck.
Best option, hands down, if you're looking for the affordable experience; Shadowverse. I have played it on and off for some years, and I usually just start a new account, dust the free cards and build a meta deck. It's the only game where I feel you can truly be 100% f2p and competitive.
Arena isn't that expensive. If anything their free handouts are more frequent than Hearthstone, they're just dependent on you winning semi-consistently and using a wide variety of decks. It's Magic ONLINE that's expensive, that one makes you pay upfront.
try play krosmaga,it is a great f2p card game.it is something like hearthstone except that the minions walk some cells in the end of each turn,your opponent has 5 eggs 2 real 2 fake and you need to destroy 2 of the real ones to win.
