Feel like getting into a card game and can't decide between these two. Played quite a bit of YuGiOh on the PSP and played Duels of the Planeswalker on the PC and enjoyed both. Can't afford to buy cards for both so I'm wondering which is more fun in the longterm.
Poll: YuGiOh or Magic:The Gathering, which is better?

i lean towards magic, but you should pick whatever your friends are into. there's no point in either of them if you don't have anyone to play with.
I can't comment on Yugioh as I haven't played it in a decade, but I think it comes down to the people you play with. I have a really fun card shop with lots of kind players who are into MTG, and the game is a lot funner through them.
If there are two exclusive shops, one Yugioh and one MTG, go to both and eek out the general feel of the player bases. It may not be the deciding factor for you but I think it would help if you intend to play long term.

Magic. If you ask me, no comparison.
In Yugioh, its Rare Cards = Powerfull = Win
While newer magic editions go the same way, older editions youc an pull combos with common cards that can easily tear your enemy a new one. Its much more tactical dept that Yugi can ever hope to pull.

I would say MTG. The main reason is that MTG player base and infrastructure (Tournaments and events) are much greater than Yugioh's. Its a bit more difficult to learn though due to the ruling system. I would only go Yugioh if you have a lot of friends around you that already play it and don't play MTG.
Also as someone who has played both fairly extensively MTG generally leads to better games and better times.

I'd go with magic, because yo can make a deck that's fun, and competitive for almost nothing. One of my most favorite decks only cost me 50 cents worth of cards and it won Friday Night Magic (this was during Ravnica block btw.)
Played bot, and I amply prefer Magic for the vast amount of different tactic you can pull out with a deck, while Yugiho feel a simply green deck with some blue spell in it. It's not as deep. And the latest expansion are not as good as the first one. Thrust me on that.
As someone who has played both, I much prefer the feel and play style of MtG. I played Yugioh before the gx packs game out so I'm no doubt behind, but comparing experiences, I say I can put much more strategy in MtG than I could with Yugioh. You can strategize in Yugioh don't get me wrong, but I think the strategies are a little more varied in MtG. This might have changed with the 5ds packs. In my opinion magic is just more fun now.
