The problem currently is that it looks cheap and out of place a lot of the time. I have seen quite a few games that use GenAI to add Assets and more to their game and currently it boiled down to these options:
The first problem can already be solved, but it takes a lot of work to get to the point where everything looks like it fits your game. I don't think anyone will complain about GenAI when everything fits your game.
But don't forget: We are talking about MtG here. WOTC sells MtG cards for an insanely high price and the art is something that makes the cards somewhat worth the price. MtG using GenAI would be just wrong.
