I've been waiting on this for a while now! Faeria [Steam] is a free to play (don't pass it up yet) turn-based battler using cards.
I've played it on and off for a while and I think it's really rather good. You build the board as you go on each turn, draw cards and battle. You unlock new cards as you go, but you can also buy the "Steam Pack" which includes 50 cards and more.
In regards to Linux support, they said this in this release announcement:
The reason I don't mind their funding model is that it emulates a real card game, in real life you buy packs of cards, so this is no different. Not only that, but the gameplay is actually really good too.
It's not just online, it also has a ton of single-player battles to do.

In regards to Linux support, they said this in this release announcement:
QuoteWhile it has been possible to play Faeria on Linux during Early Access, those of you that have tried it will know that it came with its fair share of crashes. Its for that reason that we’ve kept Linux labeled as officially 'unsupported’. However, that’s all changed. As of today you should now enjoy a smooth Faeria experience on Linux. Status change: Fully supported!

Is there a competetive scene to speak of?
Yep. The top players get invited to the Monthly Cup.

Edit: YAY! It seems to work without Steam, let's hope it needs no weird ports (trying from home now, next week I'll try at work).It might need libs that are in the Steam runtime (and widely installed overall but they might not be on your work PC).
Is there a competetive scene to speak of?Yes, though I'm not really into that and don't follow it that much. I know some pro gamers stream (you can probably find them on the Faeria subreddit or playfaeria.com). And as I said, there is a monthly tournament; you can find the details on https://esports.faeria.com/. Besides this, I'm not sure there are a lot of other tournaments, though, I guess the game is not well known enough yet.

Thanks for your help, luckily I bring my own laptop to work, so it will probably work, unless some strange ports are used by the client itself. Will have a go att Faeria now!

I'm glad this is out. I've been watching it and trying it for a long time. I really like Solforge, but it doesn't play on Linux. Faeria is what I'm hoping to be the replacement.

I was all hyped last weekend, playing the solo quests and building a nice UR (or BR as they call it, blue red) burn/event deck with disciples of aurora, but now when trying at work (without steam) it is sadly blocked :( I wish I could change the port it uses.
