Pros
Pro Over 2000 different cards
The card collection is huge. As of August 2015, the game has more than 2000 cards. Of them 1152 are monster cards. The rest are runes, spells, shields, armor types and weapons. There are 16 different races of monsters and 24 special abilities. The variety offers a great bit of deck building options.
Pro Looks good
For an Android game, Combat Monsters has beautiful 3D graphics and animations.
Pro Good single player campaign
Pro Lots of different modes
There is 5 deck mode: standard, horde (monsters only), tribal (one race only), single 50 (no duplicated cards) and pauper (only common and uncommoncards). There is a single player campaign for each deck mode. You can also play online real time or asynchronous games versus other players. You can also play versus the AI, up to 5 of them! And there is adaily challenge that reward you some cards upon victory
Pro Highly strategic
Playing on an actual board game, positioning the monsters and combining their special abilities is key to a victory. You summon cards using mojo that your hero provide each turn, but that you can get as well through a bunch of other means (abilities, special board tile, runes, spells, ...)
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.
Pro Strategic depth
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.
Pro Interactive with opponents
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
