The popular Magic: The Gathering now has a Free2Play variant as an online computer game on Steam: Magic Duels.
It has been out on mobile for a while, and now PC players can also venture into the card game. The Magic franchise itself hardly needs an introduction, but that is now a meaningless phrase, and we will do it anyway: Magic has been considered the epitome of collecting passion, creative deck building, and nerve-wracking duels in the niche of strategic collectible card games – and also as a true nerd hobby.
Magic is essentially the game from which Blizzard developed the well-known “We are going mainstream” tactic Hearthstone (well okay, through the detour of their own trading card game). And now the Wizards of the Coast are basically taking the reverse path, drawing inspiration from Hearthstone. For example, in Magic: Duels, players can earn gold and procure cards similar to Hearthstone through boosters.
As MMO Bomb reports, Magic Duels offers a story mode, an interactive deck builder, a selection of hundreds of cards, and of course the ability to compete with other players.
