Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lightsaber Duel at none against Wizard Duel's shown. Lightsaber Duel also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 127) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Wizard Duel's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
