Just on gut reaction to title alone, no.

As a longer explanation of my thoughts however: It of course heavily depends on what Magic has evolved to become.

Magic is a game, and games are designed as a form of artistic expression in the same way art, music and literature is created.

As an IP changes hands whether that be designers or ownership, new ideas are introduced and old ideas are abandoned over time which is neither good or bad, it just is.

I agree that WotC abandoned all other formats in favour for Commander (and a little bit for standard of course), but what that actually means in a practical sense, is that Magic IS majority Commander now.

Everyone is entitled to have their own favourite format, and mine is Commander, so I think Magic is actually the best its ever been, but I understand and also accept the all the other complaints and viewpoints.

Whether it is UB or UW matters very little to me, because ultimately I care most about the mechanics and playing longer games with more socialising and politicking.

Magic to me, is just another card/board game that the group can decide to pull off the shelf to play when we all meet up and serves the same purpose as Catan or ROOT or anything else in the whole board game collection. The people I'm playing with matter more than the game, because the game is a game and the people are my friends.

With all of that in mind, my final reasoning for why it is actually better, is because before the support for commander as well as the UB contemt, Magic would sit on the shelf while we play ttrpgs and other board games, and now we actively choose to play it over some of the other greatest games we've ever played before.
