The duallands available in Eternal are quite good, so playing two colors is almost free and playing three mostly just costs you a few tapped lands. In Eternal such issues are much simpler, and don’t create new interesting situations. Some decks have very good color, but many don’t, because they’re balancing various needs and dangers. Eternal takes that uncertainty and that vector of action away. Magic’s best feature is that everything could be up for grabs, and you can never be sure which things will matter.
It is a relief not to worry about such things, and it helps fit the game onto a phone, but it does make the game less rich in interesting choices.
