I also play Eternal. It is a fun game but is more like MtG in that it is defender's choice and you play 1 power card per turn to gain mana. It also has 'fast' spells to respond on the opponent's turn. It has a lot more keywords so it takes some time to learn. There are no restrictions on deckbuilding - you can put any of the 5 colors into a deck. But the thing that will lure people most is the F2P aspect. You get a pack for your first win, every 24 hours! That being said, you need more cards to make a deck because you can have 4-of, even legendary, but with the pack a day, you will have all commons and rares in no time. They are in their 5th set, plus some adventures, and there are no formats yet - basically any card in any deck.
One thing I really like is promo cards - ever two months or so, you can score a set of 4 along with the pack-of-the-day reward. They are at a power level between epic and legendary and tend to shake up the meta.
There must be a good number of people playing because queue times are fairly fast, even at odd hours. Do remember, it's not HS, very different, and I disagree that HS is dead.
I play Hearthstone BECAUSE it isn't MTG. Having to sit there and do nothing because I don't have sigils is really annoying. I don't have the patience and I am not the best deck builder.
The massive deck size, the constant packs they throw at you, as well as the insanely long matches just isn't for me. If you like MTG mechanics, Eternal is for you.
Personally, I like Hearthstone because their brave enough NOT to be a carbon copy of MTG.
No thanks. Ive tried it for a while. it was fun and all, but HS is just so damn good and addicting. Plus if i want to swtich off from HS which im not doing any time soon, i would never go to any card game EXCEPT the Big Boss of them all and that is MTG specially now with the Arena game.
HS grabs u and never let goes for some reason beyond me. If u are here bashing this game (lol claiming its dead when its the leader of the market by a long shot margin) and asking to swtich for another then at least have the BRAINS to say MTG Arena and not some indie wanna be
Im happy with HS state and even more will I be after April's rotation. go play ur third tier card game while we play this "dead" OMEGALUL game
MTGA is the real Magic game, play the original don't the clone.
HearthStone is a great game sometimes get sick because the lack of more frequent and agressive balance changes because the team is very lazy but it is fun most of the time.
Eternal sucks. The whole sigil system is a bust and some cards are ridiculously overpowered in comparison to others. Cant remember all the times I either drew only sigils or not enough sigils, and Ive tried various increments of sigils to make it work. Also they say its "f2p" but honestly if you dont pay up the rate at which you get rares and legendaries that you need is almost just as low as HS
I always have to wonder if people who leave [insert game here] try to recruit others to join [insert game here] simply because they want to play with like-minded people, or if it also has anything to do with poaching players out of spite for [insert game here].

They have recently added a 'double mulligan' option where you can redraw if you are willing to take 6 instead of 7. At first, I thought it was pointless, but if a loss looks inevitable, why not? Still, It would be nice to pick what cards you redraw - HS is the winner there.

Didn't know what I was missing !!!!
Cheers mates !
Lolz, why no Artifact?
OP, how much is Eternal paying you to shill for their game. Is 30 pieces of Silver still the going rate?

Not sure why OP did not do this but do use a friend link if you join. You get bonus packs and premade decks (The friend gets far less, but whatever). Mine is https://www.direwolfdigital.com/eternal/register/?ref=d66906f1-4a8d-4d41-a14d-8d4d9b10b36b but I will delete if OP adds his.

Good Luck and Happy Gaming! <3
I play Eternal as well, will admit it is much better than Hearthstone from a meta/balance perspective.
Still love both though.

Eternal is a great CCG too, but nothing says you have to pick ONE game and stick with it exclusively.
I play Hearthstone, Eternal, Elder Scrolls: Legends, and M:tG: Arena, and they ALL offer something different.

Artifact is SO dead it hurts. Literally 8K players and falling every week. Valve really messed up with their greedy monetization.

I played eternal for a while, I just don't think it's as fun as HS
Great news mate, we are happy for you. Good luck!
Dead but dreaming
I like both games :)

Is this a kind of cheap ad?
While discussing other games is allowed, OP already made a thread about this just 10 days ago: https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/off-topic/other-games/227516-eternal.
We also have plenty of other threads discussing the game: https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/off-topic/other-games/224616-eternal-card-game-come-try-it-out. Not everyone needs to make their own.
