I briefly collected MTG cards for a couple of years, starting in 1995. That was back when a Black Lotus could be had for 250 USD. I only played a handful of times - I collected the cards for the (sometimes) beautiful art, and because I was entranced by the flavor text.
MTG has always had incredibly rich lore, but WOTC have never been worth their salt when it came to fully realized story. The novels are all lackluster, and to my knowledge there has never been a videogame with any true attempt at a plot. Can you imagine a JRPG-styled game, similar to a Final Fantasy entry; but set in, say, Dominaria during the Legends era?
How fitting Steam's summer sale just put the entire final fantasy game line on sale... ;)
