The AI can be trained on all current MtG cards to be able to generate cards with comparable power levels intuitively. Also to generate art and lore that fits the power distribution.... Maybe it can create synergies between generated sets and combos or counters to generate more diverse and fair fights....
I'm not sure Wizards of the coast should be excited or terrified with the possibilities
Wizards of the coast owns the patent on collectable cards, so they should be excited, since there's no way to break into the market without them suing you. They can fire all of their artists and save on costs, but still produce good working cards with AI.
That patent expired several years ago.
Apparently it was granted it 1997 so should have expired in 2017:
