I really like Magic Arena, but if you want something a bit different, try Eternal. It feels like MtG, but designed for digital and largely fixes the management screw issue. Here are some differences:

mana is "power", and lands are sigils, but color doesn't get used up (e.g. if you have played 2 red sigils, you can cast as many 2-red sigil cards as you have the power for)
lots of one-time use effects, like aegis (one time hex proof), killer (one-time fight), etc
cards that can access a "market," where you can swap a card in your hand for one you've picked previously (i.e. your side-board, but accessible in-game)

I think the meta is a little unfortunate, so I don't play competitively, but I do like the limited formats. The same is also true of MTG, so I mostly play limited there too.
