Never heard of it what's it like?

The Teen Titans card game--the one hardly anyone knew existed, and even less people played--was the best!

Of those three? Magic: the Gathering is the most intricate and complex. Yugioh is arguably the worst - terrible balance, with a notable lack of complexity. Pokemon is probably the simplest, but perhaps the best balanced for casual play.

To my mind, Magic is the best of the three - it's not as cleanly balanced as it could be, but there's a great deal of interplay that creates an interesting, cerebral experience. Pokemon would fall second, as a clean and simple game with a solid balance, but a serious lack of interplay. Yugioh is, to my mind, a complete mess.

Of course, that's a focus on CCGs, and misses out on a lot of fantastic card games that aren't as collectable, such as Legendary, Munchkin, Illuminati, Flame Wars, and others.

I haven't played Illuminati myself, but Legendary and Munchkin are both a lot of fun. Very different styles, though.

Munchkin is a little like what you'd get if you took a Role-Playing Game, and got rid of all that annoying Role-Playing stuff. You kick in doors, kill monsters, take their treasure, and try to be the first to Level 10.

Legendary's a deck-building game - you start with a static deck of cards and draft more over the course of the game to give you more options to do more things. In the specific case of Marvel Legendary, those "other things" include beating down on villains and stopping masterminds from succeeding at their Plots.
