    I'm having a lot of fun with this game. I've played it through to 700 Elo so far and I've been doing pretty well. The resource system is interesting, and I really like the way the battle field is set up into lanes. I think there is quite a bit of tactical depth to the game, and the card base isn't yet so massive that it's intimidating to get into (looking at you MTG).

    This game is the best CCG Ive played and Ive played plenty and it's FREE. I haven't spent a dime and Im a competitive player. There's a new expansion coming out and this game should only get better. If you are trying to find an interesting CCG to play don't pass this one up.

    Granted, I've only just broken 500 ELO (skill rating) recently, and occasionally you have those games where you just stomp someone or get stomped by someone, but it feels like you have a lot more control in this game as you don't really have the "mana screwed" issues that plague Magic The Gathering. Not to say you can't still get a crappy hand, but by keeping the resource system as aGranted, I've only just broken 500 ELO (skill rating) recently, and occasionally you have those games where you just stomp someone or get stomped by someone, but it feels like you have a lot more control in this game as you don't really have the "mana screwed" issues that plague Magic The Gathering. Not to say you can't still get a crappy hand, but by keeping the resource system as a constant increase in production each turn they mitigate this aspect considerably.

    Any time you have a system of 'rarity' determining quality, you will of course run into those players with a deck stacked full of rares. However, the bulk of your deck will still likely consist of starter cards, AND you can purchase cards decks using the in-game currency, which is gained by simply playing ranked matches against other people.

    When I first started up Duel of Champions and played through the tutorial, I never thought I'd be playing for the next four hours. I found myself becoming easily lost in the game, with my duels lasting over a half hour but only seeming like 10 minutes. It's a solid CCG for sure, and one that I don't mind being tied to at the moment.

    A card-battling game into which serious strategy fans will want to invest some equally serious time.

    Be sure to take the time to get to know Ubisoft's latest entry in the Might & Magic franchise: a deeply satisfying take on the card battler gaming genre.
