Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MTG SealedSim at none against 8Pack's shown. MTG SealedSim also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). 8Pack's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
