Like Hearthstone? Like Anime tiddies? Well look no further!
Basic setup is much like Hearthstone with a few wrinkles added in. You have a mechanic called evolve which lets you buff up your minions by giving a few stat points and charge (against minions only.) In my limited experience, this allows for a more board-centric style of gameplay rather than a face race.
Worth giving a try as they're quite generous with how many cards they give you through the story mode and quests. Take-two, their equivalent of arena, is quite soft. Afterall, you're going against a bunch of Japanese players jerking it to the cards rather than playing the game.
Available on Steam and Android.

I saw Reynad (I think?) play this in one of his videos. It looked pretty interesting.

I played it a bit. Seems similar to Hearthstone but with a worse UI. Reynad constantly refers to it as a better game than HS and apparently it has a lot less RNG.
