It's just digital MTG. It is missing quite a lot of cards, and I hope they add them, but don't worry about spending money on the game. Just use the preset decks and make new ones with free booster packs

Doesn't matter what deck you build, how creative you try to be, even in the play queue the matchmaker will always just pit you against the sweatiest net decks or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jank which just happens to have exactly the perfect answer to your combo and exactly the right amount of lands to get it out in time. Only play this game if you're willing to throw all your money at it to benefit from being on the positive side of the rigged as ♥♥♥♥ algorithm.
