Personally, I think Arena is a great step forward from the creaking behemoth that is MTGO. I'm not sure that it's going to be MTG's final landing spot in a digital medium, but it's player friendly, looks decent, and is a huge step forward in modernizing the game in the age of streaming and other digital CCGs/TCGs.
I do have some concerns about lasting support, the card library ever being fully implemented, and the play on Arena reaching the skill level on MTGO.
That said, I have a few codes left. It's free/cheap to play for now.
