You get daily gems and 3 (out of 9) daily missions once a day. The daily missions do stack, so it incentive to open the game every day (although you don't have to play a single match) and finishing all the daily missions every 2-3 days (which is rather quick).

Competition reported on May 15, 2024
This is a competitive and there's little to no way to play it casually. Casual Match, despite its name implied, is not casual-oriented, you can often match with decks that while have bad winrate are more toxic than in ranked. The most casual you can have is some events like N/R festival and Legend Anthology, the problem is these events are time-limited.
