I have tried it. Not as good as Magic or Hearth. Its single player mode forge is fun but gets repetitive fast. The matches are also very unfair. You almost always get bad cards.
Forge is not the only mode you can play. It is a step into getting you ready for drafts. Card evaluation and building is really important if you want to do well but I wouldn't say Forge is the main reason to play Eternal. If you want to play against AI, you can play Gauntlet which is free. And with the Eternal celebration going on, you can pick any deck on www.eternalwarcry.com and try it as you have access to a full collection, so there's a lot of room for constructed play.
Really interesting. I think after I'll complete my seasonal goal in Gwent I will try this one. I was looking for something like MTG for a long time and all latest online MTG implementations were utter shit. HS and even TES:L are both too simplified and casual.
I don't think you can go wrong with Eternal. Get on the bandwagon as we are getting a new set soon, so you could try to get master in Gauntlet/Forge before the new set launches so that you can get the rank up rewards again. And if you need, check the referral link on my signature for some free extra deck and packs.
The better is to eliminate power (mana) cards and limit the taunt like self healing minions Part of the game (some find TESL good for that reason). Closer to free to play, although higher value cards take longer to get and are often stronger than in HS. Less major one sided wipeout cards so it has more a board game nature than HS has where the best player regularly gets wiped out of his win.
What you describe is called Hearthstone and TESL. If you don't like the resource system nor the attack/defense system, then Eternal and Magic like games are not for you. Eternal is extremely F2P friendly. You can check the game's reddit and you will see several people who started recently, are F2P and made it to Master (equivalent of Legend rank in HS).
Signing up for the closed beta of Magic Arena doesn't preclude anybody from trying Eternal. But Eternal is available on all major platforms, including mobile Arena will be PC only for now. I've signed up and I am still waiting for the key.
Give Eternal a try. It is the most Free 2 Play game out there. You get a free pack each day with your first ranked or casual win, not counting chest upgrades and other freebies.
I love Eternal. It is more like Magic than Hearthstone, but it has a much deeper interaction because of the resource system and the defender controlling where damage goes through.

I used to play TESL but stopped. I didn't like how the meta was evolving and I actually got to love Eternal instead. But it is closer to Hearthstone.
