MtG also has real variation in complexity, like if you play a control or a midrange deck you're going to have to make lots of important decisions and think a lot. If you play a true aggro deck, most of the time you are just slapping cards down, turning them sideways, and having a great time pretending you're a goblin chieftan.
Unfortunately the F2P economy in MTGA kind of sucks imo, even though I think I generally like MtG better I enjoy Hearthstone more due to being more F2P friendly. I also played Legends of Runeterra for a while and it was very enjoyable. The hardest thing in all of these games is not spending real money for the dopamine hit of gambling on random packs.
I found Arena pretty good to play for free. If you do the daily and weekly challenges you get a decent amount of gold for buying packs and the less frequent events will give whole decks. Spending some money does short cut it but it's not a hard pay wall like a lot of games have.
