Hearthstone loses viewers on Twitch as Magic: The Gathering Arena closes the gap

Hearthstone has seen a big drop in its Twitch audience size. Magic: The Gathering Arena, the digital version of the popular collectible card game, has managed to grow or hold steady since it went into an open beta in 2018. You look at the chart below to see just how much more close the two games are in terms of audience size now.
