Pro Nice handmade artwork
Card art uses a beautiful consistent style. This was improved in 2018 when art for previous sets was updated to a standard card template design and most of the card art was redrawn to match the style of later sets.
Pro Touch controls lends themselves well to card based games
Touch controls work great for card based games.
Pro Decks built on the fly from battle to battle
Unlike most card game where the player builds and refines a deck to use in every battle Ascension has the player build their deck on the fly before each and every battle.
Pro Rewarding
Strictly Better Rewards than Hearthstone, and packs cost the same amount.
Pro Accessible
Game is F2P friendly due to generous leveling system, starting campaign
Pro Single player friendly
For those who don't want to play ladder, ESL offers both a story mode, and a solo arena.
Pro Has Elder Scrolls lore
Even for people that never played card games, if you loved elder scrolls lore you will love this.
Pro Mature art style
Art on cards looks great, and isn't overly cartoony.

Rune System, the shadow lane, decrease of ping compared to other ccgs leads to a game that requires tougher decision making.
Pro Little RNG
Most RNG is related to card draw/deck variance, with a couple exceptions mostly on unique legendaries.

Unlike in Hearthstone, there is a lot of interaction and choices with the cards and your opponent. Pirate Warriors, face hunter, solitaire/miracle rogue, to name a few.
Cons

The mechanics of the game rely too much on luck for card draws both in the communal deck and personal.

A lot of the card art is poorly designed with some of it even looking unfinished.
Con Bland card design
Con Bad UI
The UI feels like that of a game released in the 1990s in a bad way.
Con Bland board
Only one playmat to play on, and it doesn't "pop" like other games playmats do.
