When to use which?

Magic The Gathering is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Battle.net works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Battle.net supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
