How do card game creators keep making such balanced cards?

512 views

For card games like Magic The Gathering, etc., how do the creators make new cards that are balanced (in terms of cost, strength, abilities)? Is there a set formula, or is it a long testing/tweaking process before the card gets released?

Who says it’s balanced? They have to change the rules all the time and ban cards when sending figures out a dominating combination.

Or they just toss out expansions and say ” it’s old expansion, can’t play in competitions now” and make you start your dream deck from scratch.

MTG has like 10 banlist ongoing that gets updated a few times a year.
