Current AI is entirely incapable of generating the balanced and fun/engaging rule sets required for a MtG style game. Sure the art assets could be generated with skilled prompting and touchup but even that is nowhere close to the strong statement you made.

OP likely meant that a Midjourney-level AI can easily generate all the card art.

Obviously, current AIs cannot generate game rulesets because the game feel is an internal phenomenon that cannot be represented in the material domain and therefore AIs cannot train on it.

It does not take a large team to generate interesting and balanced rules. I'd hazard to say that with a larger team the task becomes harder.

Creating the art, on the other hand, goes from a week per card to half a day per card, or something similar.
