I was wondering how complicated it could really be, and it turns out that some people showed in 2019 that it's Turing-complete -- meaning that any conceivable computation can be simulated by a MTG game, indeed a game in which every move by every player is forced: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828
IOW, it's as complicated as possible.
