It doesn’t have to be better. Just competitive enough to have some legs. Hearthstone is why WotC finally started transitioning away from Magic Online.

But I get it. I love MtG myself (and as a limited player, I don’t actually have any real suggestions for improvement with the game itself, we’ve been eating so good for years now), but it’s too expensive. The publisher is scummy. None of that is changing anytime soon.

Tangentially, if fans passionate about properties this old genuinely want to act, they should be actively fighting for copyright reform. Both of the properties we’re discussing here would be public domain by now under an macroeconomically-sound copyright regime.
