MTG: Arena Revealed!

Magic: The Gathering Arena has been revealed!

From magic.wizards.com:

What Is MTG Arena?

Magic: The Gathering Arena is free-to-play, authentic Magic, reborn digitally for gamers, fans, and streamers.

You've heard us talk about Magic Digital Next and the Digital Games Studio, our efforts to translate the rich world of Magic into modern digital gaming experiences. MTG Arena is the first of those efforts and is intended to be the ultimate way to play the latest card sets in Magic. It is available to download with no fee and is a free-to-play-game.

First and foremost, MTG Arena is going to be an amazing place to play the game you love with all the depth, rules, and choices fans love, plus the striking and easy-to-understand visuals that make watching online exciting. We want popular MTG Arena streams to consistently be among the most-viewed streams on Twitch. We want players to eagerly anticipate MTG Arena draft nights with their friends around the world. We want pro players' competitive ladder matches to be watched with the same fervor as a Grand Prix.

Want More? Of Course you do!

Maybe I don't get it...

so now on, there will be Magic Online, Magic Arena and Magic Duels to play magic on the internet...

all of these by Wizards and in addition to open magic like Magic Workstation or Virtual PlayTable.

Except they stated that Arena is Focused on standard and will be updated with every new set, no mention of any plan to include any older sets. This isn't a MTGO Killer.

This 100% will eventually overtake Online. You are delusional if you can't see that.

I wish, i really wish it did. I wish they would implement previous Sets. It's just that they explicitly stated that MTGO will continue being developed and offer "experiences that are unique to magic online". The fact that they said that Arena will be updated with around 1000 Cards each year, which pretty much perfectly fits the 4 Big sets that will be coming out starting next year is a big telling factor as well.

Wizards is trying everything they can to not have paper cards any more. You are seeing the first step.
