Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is there an easier way to switch to older editions of MTG?

It's easy to do with books, but playing older mtg sets the way I've been doing it includes a lot of arts & crafts. Any alternatives? Similar physical card games or ways to emulate older MTG?

Not sure about alternatives, but arts and crafts can be done with less arts and crafts.

If you are willing to step down in size to  2 1/8 in. x 3 3/8 in then micro perforated rounded edge cards on 70lb cardstock are available https://mcgpaper.com/products/plain-blank-cards-printable-hobby-playing-cards

Otherwise, 5x7 photo can be split into 4 2.5" x 3.5" cards with only 2 cuts and I think a print shop can ream cut up to 250 sheets of cardstock in one go. Skip rounding the corners and use opaque back sleeves.

Laying out the images for either option can be done with a mail merge in any office suite, including free ones, and the images can be batch resized prior to layout with free software as well.
