Magic Duels: Origins

Magic Duels (originally Magic Duels: Origins) is a free-to-play digital adaptation of Magic: The Gathering developed by Stainless Games and published by Wizards of the Coast, featuring a single-player story campaign following five Planeswalkers alongside online multiplayer card duels. All play takes place in discrete, matchmade games rather than a persistent shared world, so it is catalogued here as a non-MMO reference. Wizards pulled the game from digital storefronts and ended official support in November 2019 in favor of Magic: The Gathering Arena, though existing installs remain playable with all cards unlocked.
