SiegeStorm: SiegeMode knows exactly what it wants to be: pick a faction, take a ready-made deck, make a few tweaks if you fancy, then sit opposite someone who has arrived to knock down your castle. A game lasts 15 to 20 minutes. There is no time for manners.
Your deck is also your life. You pay for cards by spending other cards from it, so every move has teeth: do you burn strength now to build pressure, or conserve resources and let your opponent breathe?

The big trick is the battle line. Creatures you play march towards the opposing castle, so the contest is not merely numbers printed on cards; you can see the siege getting closer, assemble abilities and combinations, and try to deck the other player out before they do the same to you.
The abilities and themed decks have plenty of character, while the learning curve stays respectable without slowing the charge. I would recommend it without hesitation to fans of the genre: quick, clean, and very good at making you lunge across the table.
