Which other digital TCG comes closest to Runeterra?

PVP Question

I still play Path of Champions occasionally but the big draw to LoR for me was the PvP, which has obv been canned. I loved the wacky interactions, variety of interesting and unique decks you could make work, the spell mana system made for some really cool decision making, and i loved playing so many different archetypes and pet decks (swole squirrel ftw) but now i’m looking for something else that can come close to that feeling.

I’ve tried master duel, but the consistency of decks and lack of mana system make most games i’ve played feel more like a quick 4 minute knowledge check into a loss (i didn’t use a handtrap on the 4th step of his 22 step chain so i lose) but on the other hand I hear it has a ton of deck variety and archetypes

MTGA seems a little closer to LoR but I hear the standard meta is in a terrible spot and it’s also not very F2P, however I don’t mind the land system and some decks seem to have pretty cool interactions

Hearthstone seems like it would be the closest, and I played it a bit a long time ago, but all i’ve been hearing for the last several years how the game is in a terrible state and is declining

I know all the games are free to try, but i feel like for card games you truly don’t get it until you invest a significant amount of time so I just wanted to get some opinions on what would probably scratch the LoR itch for me
