The only way that this doesn’t become a reality is if Wizards of the Coast deliberately decides not to make it available to Chromebooks and blocks compatibility to them until they can further investigate how to optimize it, but I think that’s unlikely.I'm sorry you've run into this issue. I personally liken the absence of MTG: Arena on mobile to the absence of Mario or Pokemon on Nintendo consoles. Magic 2015 did pre-date the announcement of Arena on mobile, but it’s quite, well, dated, and severely lacks the variety and fun of the latter.

Never before have we had such a variety of popular intellectual properties available on the platform as we will this year. It also has cross-play with its PC counterpart, including the latest expansion of the game, Kaldheim, and can provide gamers with countless hours of casual and competitive play. It marks a significant shift in the experience for users. The potential for Magic the Gathering: Arena on Chromebooks is huge. When you think about how capable Chromebooks are compared to phones, all of this is a non-issue – not to mention that most Chromebooks run Android 9 right now.

The only real requirements for the game to run are that the devices in question have 4GB of RAM, Android Marshmallow (6.0), an OpenGL ES3.0 graphics API, and ETC2 texture compression.

For those that it does not work well on or if it’s launched and then crashes immediately, Wizards of the Coast will be making it compatible with additional Android devices, tablets, and even iOS later this year.

What’s likely to happen is that just like with all Android apps, Magic the Gathering: Arena will launch on January 28th and will work out of the box for many Chromebooks with little to no issues.
