Magic: The Gathering Arena, even in beta form, is ripping through the digital card game market. With newcomers like Artifact fizzling it’s poised to really make a splash this year when it fully launches: a goal that’s helped by the fact that Arena is basically a 1:1 re-creation of the enduring 26 year old classic formula.
I sat down with some of the top people leading the Arena initiative (Elaine Chase, VP of Esports, Bear Schmiedicker, Director of Esports, and Ben Drago, Senior Manager of Competitive Gaming) to get a feel for what’s next, and it’s mostly good news for people who are interested in getting into Magic or are already digging into Arena.
