Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ice Ray at none against Magic Alchemist Classic's 10. Ice Ray also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Magic Alchemist Classic's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
