Apparently the Russo brothers are long time Magic fans, and are making a cartoon for Netflix.
I'm hoping this doesn't suck, but won't be super surprised if it does.
At least they hired the Russos, which means they mean business.
With a good writing team and good voice actors, this could become really good.
And if they have budget to hire the Russos they should have budget for that as well.
But yeah, this is rather easy to mess up, and Netflix originals haven't convined me much so far.

However, it's all about having a good scenario. Not a big fan of avengers end game's scenario thought :)
Should have been live action. I’m not surprised they went with cartoon. Less upfront cost. That increases the chances it will actually get made. There is a thread from years ago about the production hell happening to the live action film.
Hint; it does not actually exist
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
I think this is a great stepping stone into other media (live action, etc) because some of the best versions of fantasy/comic books have been cartoons. I'm thinking Clone Wars and Batman: The Animated Series, both of which were incredibly well done. I think if it does well it could open the door to doing a decent live-action version. I'm calling Angelina Jolie for Liliana, Josh Brolin for Karn, Dave Bautista for Garruk, John Rhys-Davies for Ajani, Scarlett Johanson for Chandra, Benedict Cumberpatch for the voice of Nicol Bolas, and Charlie Cox for Jace. Oddly specific, I know, but there's potential here...

I haven't seen any info on the particular setting.
Would it take place after the war of the spark or before?
All they need now is to end that pesky card game so that they can exploit and concentrate the new opportunities offered by their IP.
Perhaps a line of underware, 'XXXL karn boxers' and 'lacy liliana', maybe also into medicines with 'jace's miracle cure' syrup, not to forget a probable best seller in their line of fantastic fantasy novels, 'fifty shades of bolas'.
(for avoidance of doubt, old fart here that still remembers when a card game was a bloody card game)
Well, at least there's a chance it isn't going to suck. The less creative control WotC has over it, the better. Imagine if it had been done in-house *shudder*.
