>Magic: The Gathering Arena is a free-to-play digital collectible card game developed and published by Wizards of the Coast

More like "Free to play" if you're ok with getting creamed by people shoving cash into the game for packs and drafts. MTGA is as rigged as every other game is these days: power for money.

Free to play strongly implies pay to win. If it were just free, they'd say that.

It often doesn’t. Plenty of competitive games are free to play and make their money from cosmetics and battle passes. I’m not a huge fan of those things either but I don’t think you could call LoL pay to win for example.

If you actually look for good games and don't just play the latest AAA games made by big companies, you'll realize there's still good games out there
