If you're just there for the lore, MTG definitely has a much lower buy-in than your average gacha game. You can look at all the MTG cards on Gatherer without paying a single cent. Only if you want to actually play the game are you obligated to build an actual card collection.
By contrast, I play Cookie Run Kingdom, which has been described as one of the most generous gacha games out there, but even this one you can't get into the story without at least interacting with the gacha on some level. Not necessarily money, but effort at the very least. More than MTG demands.
