Do keep in mind that 60 cards is just one Magic format, one of the most popular official formats is Commander which is 100 card singleton. Beyond that, those are not cards in the sense of poker cards with stats and an effect. Many of these have unique effects specific to that card. There are also 100+ categorical effects. Creature types, color types. Plus Magic is played on both players turns unlike other card games. Divide both turns into phases with pros and cons of casting. It's more complex than it sounds when you just call it a "card game" - it is much more deep than most any other card game and does not truly feel like a card game except the fact that you play with cards. The game has infinite loops, race conditions, etc which come in many unpredictable shapes.
