first off: sorry epoch, wasnt sure if this should be in the blind eternities or the lore section due to its content
second: imma start a riot here
okay, so, which has deeper lore; World of Warcraft (not hearthstone, I despise that) or Magic the Gathering?
I know that MTG has a hell of a lot of documented lore along with many novels, but warcraft also brings that
so for the most part this is going to boil down to lore on cards (MTG) and lore in WoW (in the mmo rpg)
FIGHT!

@DrFunk27 I dont despise the idea of it
I dont despise the game play
I despise how it was created and what it did.
before I came back to magic I played the Wow tcg. it was very near to magic but I liked it more because there were legal holiday cards, the heroes with cool abilities and other things that it did that were a bit better than magic's versions.
anywho, it was discontinued when hearthstone came out b/c blizzard wanted more of the money to itself, and all this just left a bad taste in my mouth about it.

Wrong. Hearthstone is the skill of Pokemon (the tcg, not the video games) with the gameplay of MTG. Built so people not smart enough for magic can still play a card game and think they're either a nerd or they're cool or both.
Okay that's not entirely true, but Hearthstone's still a strictly worse card game. Strictly worse than Yu-Gi-Oh, even.

ToolmasterOfBrainerd Are you high? That's absurd. It's by no means stellar and I honestly don't play that much, but it's DEFINITELY better than Yu-Gi-Oh. That comment is heresy.

I don't see how you can justify saying one is better than the other or how Hearthstone has the skill level of Pokemon. It's a very different game and it's quite fun at that.

But to answer the original question, even though I've never played, WoW definitely has richer deeper lore than MtG.

I think it may have equal depth of lore but damn, WoW lore is much easier to find than a good explanation of the Bother's War or Gerrard's multi block Odyssey.
So for ease of finding's sake I would WoW lore.

I think that WoW has more detailed lore that is more accessible to players.
As for Hearthstone, it's great. My largest qualm with the game is that the average player spends 50% of his/her time not playing. Certainly less complex than Magic, but still enjoyable to play because of the animations and large potential for shenanigans.

The greater question is, why do you despise Hearthstone? That's a pretty strong word for one of the best FTP Games ever.
