It's for the best, CCGs used to be a relatively affordable hobby, these days it's definitely not.
I agree that Arena can be cool if you want to spend no money or very little money. But that's an electronic implementation, the actual cards are another story anymore at least IMO.

I remember seeing promos for the game at comic book shops when I was a kid in the early aughts; some of it looked cool but some of it looked real wonky to me lol
I do think Wizards is moving kinda haphazardly with all the different franchises they're crossing over with. Walking Dead? Fortnite? My Little Pony? Pass. But I will say that the Warhammer 40K Commander decks were really well done and had some really, really cool art and some pretty good cards. The Lord of the Rings set is also really well done, some great art and some great cards. I can't say I'm too excited for the Final Fantasy or Assassin's Creed crossover cards though. Never played a FF game and the only AC game I ever really played or enjoyed was the pirate one. The sets that will take place in original planes next year look really enticing to me, at least.

When I was thinking that I might want to get back into it the entire 1st ed reprint set thing happened and the DnDNext thing happened and now I am not willing to buy their products.

Are you talking about the non-tournament legal yet official proxies of cards like Black Lotus that were going for way too much money? Yeah, that was a bad move on their part. And the whole D&D One thing was, too. But I didn't really let it bother me; I buy proxies of cards that I want to try out but are too expensive for me from third-party sellers. I've been playing D&D weekly for some years now but haven't spent any money to do so in at least two years, so I'm not concerned.
