I never played MTG but i have played Netrunner and it is almost universally accepted as a very good asymmetric game, aside from the flaws of its LCG system.

Imagine if you could put as many copies of Hedge fund in your deck as you wanted. The 90's game failed because it was a pretty bad game. The rules were written pretty poorly. My understanding is that Lukas did the rules for the new one and used Garfields stuff as a frame of reference. Games have come a long way. I just hope he is an adviser to the game. He has some brilliant ideas but seeing them to fruition is hard for him.

Last two Magic sets Garfield was on design for were pretty great (Ravnica 1, Innistrad 1), and the 100+ cards that got leaked for the next set he's designer for (Dominaria) are pretty interesting too. As long as he's not in full "what if" mode he does good work. Which is true of most "idea" people regardless of context; they need realists around to put the breaks on.

The biggest changes were card limits and Corp and runner factions, minor changes IMO. There can be plenty of reason why the game failed in the 90’s other than being a bad game.

They overprinted Netrunner 1.0 into the ground, in an attempt to "fix" the problem with Magic at the time (product shortages). Game was worthless within a week of coming out, just pallets of it rotting everywhere, which made it difficult to convince people to jump in, as back then people were looking at these games more like collectibles than they do nowadays.
Bodyweight Synthetic Blood was a helluva drug.
There were a few mechanics in the wild west of 90s CCGs that told you straight up silliness was about to ensue when you were reading the rules: Unlimited copies of each card, and "Choose your opening hand." The "Come at Me, Bro" of CCG design.

Well it is something new?
On the pricing, I believe the big difference between this and most other card games is you can trade/sell your cards, so you can actually switch your shit around when you're bored or want to try something new, provided rarity is kept decently under control and they don't remove cards from "print" or whatever fuckery. Although every time you switch shit you lose a bit of money to the big Valve money printing press via steam fees.
