Magic 2013 is missing on that list. But more important: where is SpellCraft? It is universal and damn good! One of the best, I'd say.
Adding my voice to Vovin's . While I couldn't care less about Magic, Spellcraft most definitely belongs on your list. In my opinion, it is the best tactical card games on iOS, with very helpful and active developers. Have a look at the forum thread here on TA to get some impressions: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=150463
Don't forget Alien Menace dammit! Oh, and Paleolithic Wars. I know there are more; a lot disappeared from the appstore, but I used to have a crapload. Oh yeah, Northmark is another.
I couldn't find Alien Menace or Paleolithic Wars in the US app store. Please provide iTunes links. (Note that I want this list to only include games available in the US appstore).
SolForge will definitely be applicable for the list (from the makers of Ascension and Magic). There's currently only a lite version available though, full game release TBA. It's practically the only CCG I've ever been excited for. Some people aren't digging the simplicity, but screw them, without it I couldn't get into the genre.

@crypticx: you added the wrong Spellcraft (actually I didn't know there are more games with the same name). Here is a link to the right one: Spellcraft - collectible card game , developer: Three Goblins https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/spellcraft-collectable-card/id462240529?l=en&mt=8
Assassins creed recollection, gubs, bang!, penny arcade, ultimate showdown, food fight, neuroshima hex, cabals, nightfall, spectromancer, lehavre, San juan (not sure these last two qualify because u could then be chucking in all general games with cards). And really really looking forward to infinity wars, but that's not out for a few more months.
Thanks for the list. I only included games that have some form of "RPG" elements. Though admittedly "RPG" may be the wrong terminology. Basically, I only want to include games in which the success of one match makes you stronger or gives you more options in a future match (acquiring new cards, decks, equipment etc). If I have not included something on the list that doesn't meet that qualifier (or if I accidentally did include something that shouldn't be there), feel free to make your case to persuade me here. =D
No worries, but, so you won't include any of that list? I fail to see how say shadow era makes the list but ACR or cabals don't. Just for example. On the same note, penny arcade is almost a rehash of ascension. Same as spectromancer is a rehash of kard combat. Anyway, your the OP, and have your idea of the criteria so as you wish.
Oh sorry, I should have clarified that I had already included multiple games from your list before I responded to you (including every one mentioned in your comment above). Thanks for the list!
No worries. Good list going in the first post now. Hope there's plenty more to come in the future, because for me, I don't think there's one yet that's totally nailed it. Close, but nothing has totally done it yet. I mean something as expansive as magic was during the 90's. limitless combinations etc. (sure there's magic 2013, but that's restricted as buggery).
Book of Ashes: Age of Dragons New CCG so u have chances to be in the toplist. Its the first one CCG with such GRAFICS! Must have for shure!! https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/book-ashes-age-dragons/id571986621?mt=8
Book of Ashes: Age of Dragons Very good grafics for ipad!!!! Now its my best one, even better then Rage of Bahamut. Download Book of Ashes from appstore!
Im surprised nobody mentioned Summoner Wars. I guess it's mostly because it has a board and a "turn-based strategy" similar to chess as it's main mechanic. Nonetheless, i recommend Summoner Wars. You can check it out for free, and buy the rest of the factions one-by-one or in bulk.
The main reason why is that this is an old thread that was dredged up by a shill. You'll notice another old thread almost exactly like this one was also re-animated by the same shill.
