As a heavy digital card game player, I've seen many projects rise and fall. Every IP in existence from Fable to Elder Scrolls to DOTA can get a card game these days, and in the face of adversity (read: mostly Hearthstone...

The Magic: The Gathering World Championship XXVI (this game has been around for a while!) is happening in Hawaii from February 14-16 once again this year, and now Wizards of the Coast is adding a nice bit of synergy with Magic: Arena&n...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has some monetization problems: but finally, the season (known as "mastery" in this game) pass isn't one of them. Though the whole concept got off to a very rocky start, the recent Theros expansion managed to...

Magic: Arena, following tradition, is ushering in the new Magic: The Gathering set a little earlier than its paper cousin. Theros Beyond Death, the Greek mythology-themed set, is now live in Arena, with physical pre-release events happening...

The next digital card game on the block is Legends of Runeterra, a deck-building League of Legends spin-off that'll be cross-platform between PC and mobile. It's the kind of title you might be curious to try but not fully commit to – ...

Magic: Arena's fairy-tale-themed Eldraine set has had some ups and downs, especially with the Oko Brawl and eventual full-on standard ban. It's going to get a big shakeup in January once the Theros set hits, which is also the end of the cur...

Today's contest features unique card-battling game Cardpocalypse for Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One! This one caught my eye because the monsters are batshit insane -- and you get to create them! Who doesn't love creation? Cards games are coo...

Having played Magic: The Gathering for many years now, I'm always thinking of new decks to brew, but I have a bunch of competitive collections when I need to head into ranked play. Here's a few that I enjoy playing at the moment, which...

Today's contest features premium unlocks for WWII card game KARDS. I fought in the Great War, ya know. I mean, it was in about 800,000 different video games and not real life, but it still counts. While they definitely shot each other in du...

If you've been following my personal Game of the Year picks these past few years, you're probably aware that I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings Living Card Game (LCG). Although I do enjoy my Magic: Arena, I've cooled it a bit in th...

Magic: The Gathering Arena has gone through a lot of changes. It's only been a few months since the "1.0" retail release, and Oko has been banned, some technical issues have been smoothed over and a friends list feature is on the horiz...

Gwent is one of the better free-to-play card games in an ever-growing sea of them, but to quote John Darnielle, "good things never last, bad things never die." This coming Monday, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Gwent will cease ...

[Update: The Twitch deck is now live, and you can acquire it by logging into your Twitch loot section and pasting the code into Arena's storefront. You can find the full list for Magic: Arena's Liliana's Legion deck below. Notable cards inc...

So Wizards of the Coast missed their initial goal of getting out friends list functionality in Magic: The Gathering Arena this month, but we did get a heap of performance fixes...and something else. Every old Magic player remembers the...

[Update: The friends list feature is no longer being included in the November update due to "scaling issues." No further timeline has been provided, but all of the other changes, including the much-needed performance update, are still comin...

Booting up Magic: Arena will pull up a brand new banned list, which now includes the extremely contentious Oko, Thief of Crowns planeswalker that was just introduced in the most recent set of cards: Throne of Eldraine. Oko was an extre...

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm crazy about this series. So it's my extreme pleasure to bring you folks a giveaway for Slothwerks new game: Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale. It's even more so my pleasure, to say that this one is just as ...

We've got a Switch copy of SteamWorld Quest from Super Rare Games to give away in today's contest! What do I keep telling you guys about physical releases? I love them, that's what. I love it when a digital game gets put on a cart, disc, th...

Digital card games are making a stand. Although they've existed long before Hearthstone (Triple Triad or Solitaire anyone?), Blizzard's behemoth was the big call to arms, leading to all sorts of competitors. One game I've cycled into my rep...

Stop me if you've done this before: you're playing your favorite card (or otherwise rank-based game), hit up your standard few matches for rewards, keep your ranking stable, then log off. It's a problem for both the publisher and the player...

Magic: The Gathering Arena (Wizards of the Coast's new PC rendition of Magic that just recently launched) is set to debut three events, the first of which is happening right now. "Chapter 1" as it's being called is the Artisan Market, ...

Late last night Blizzard kicked off their final main panel of BlizzCon's Friday festivities: Hearthstone. Although new cards and the reasoning behind the new dragon-centric set were the toast of the town, Blizzard also took the time to let ...

Humans are pretty adept at finding new and increasingly outlandish ways to spend their money. Last week, a 1998 Pokémon Illustrator card fetched $195,000 through Philip Weiss Auctions in New York. Not only is this trading card j...

In recent years, there has been some effort spent to reinvent the typical JRPG turn-based battle system. While many still see turn-based combat as enjoyable and even preferred, there’s a growing number of developers who find it antiqu...

In case you haven't been following along, Magic: Arena standard play has been struggling lately following the boom of a very popular deck centered around the card Field of the Dead. As Wizards itself even stated in their ban post: "Fie...
