So, anyone got any better card games? Preferably digital tbh, they can do things that physical can’t. I used to play a game called infinity wars that really took advantage of being digital with the potential to have way more going on at once. Zenonzard was also really cool, but died right after i tried it.
I really like Magic Arena, but if you want something a bit different, try Eternal. It feels like MtG, but designed for digital and largely fixes the management screw issue. Here are some differences:
mana is “power”, and lands are sigils, but color doesn’t get used up (e.g. if you have played 2 red sigils, you can cast as many 2-red sigil cards as you have the power for)
lots of one-time use effects, like aegis (one time hex proof), killer (one-time fight), etc
cards that can access a “market,” where you can swap a card in your hand for one you’ve picked previously (i.e. your side-board, but accessible in-game)
I think the meta is a little unfortunate, so I don’t play competitively, but I do like the limited formats. The same is also true of MTG, so I mostly play limited there too.
Pokemon TCG Pocket is a decent, light weight version of Pokemon TCG, shrunk down to fit mobile units and shorter battles (i.e. only 20-card deck, 3 points to win, no prize cards, energy gets generated 1 per turn instead of using cards).
As a previously big MTG-player, PTCGP feels pretty good, though it’s nowhere near the complexity and deep game which MTG is.
i play the shitty Live, BUT Its beginning to enshittify, rather than dealing with the IRL scalping and pokevesters, they are locking alt-art content behind a 6month wait, plus i ehard they were getting rid of code cards from most packs, so they are trying to entice more purchases, rather than play for free.
I kinda like the pocket version so far. Even though it has obvious tactics to ensure that players log in daily to avoid the FOMO on free packs, as well as tactics to push microtransactions. I haven’t paid a dime for the game, and I consistently finish collecting all the top meta decks within a week or two of each set release. If you want to stay on top at all times, I guess you’d have to drop some money, but it’s absolutely not required.

OG Infinity Wars was awesome, too bad they completely ruined it.
How’d they change it to ruin it? I only played for a few months after it released
Heard good things about Pokemon.
