I must say, I appreciate the comparison.
I'm much too lazy to do all the research and stuff myself, but your descriptions were clear. It's interesting to see things like this on occasion. 
Also: OMG, the rarity system makes my head spin every time someone mentions it.
Really? It all boils down to "SHINY!!!!".
Borrowing the East Wind  (P3) - Haha, it's like Hurricane  but for horsemanship? That makes hilariously little sense. "Oh man, the wind is so much worse up on this horse."
Jon Finkel can win a Magic tournament with a ham sandwich. That doesn't mean ham sandwiches are now the metagame breaker.
Koth: I'm the first viable red planeswalker. Who are you?
Tibalt: I'm a two-mana red planeswalker.
Koth: I'm the last viable red planeswalker.

I used to play Yu-gi-oh. Then Yata-garasu came out. After a few casual matches of getting pecked to death I quit. I don't understand how someone could make a card like that and not see a problem with it. It's like Stasis  combined with Black Vise  without the upkeep cost.

Funny thing is Wizards thought that Lightning Bolt  = Ancestral Recall  = Healing Salve  = Giant Growth  = Dark Ritual  when they made them. Or at least, they had the gall to call that a cycle. Poor white always gets the shaft...
Well, the did made Ancestral Recall rare and the others commons...
If it's not shiny how can you tell? :P

Parts of Yu-Gi-Oh! are similar to Magic before the Sixth Edition rules change.
When multiple things need to happen at the same time in Yu-Gi-Oh! they create a chain. Chains are like batches from Magic. They resolve all at once, and you cannot add new things once they start to resolve.
Spell speed 3 cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! are like interupts. You can only respond to a spell speed 3 card with another spell speed 3 card.
There are also special windows for certain types of effects in Yu-Gi-Oh! like the damage prevention window in Magic. Certain cards that boost attack can be used during Damage Calculation when usually cards cannot be played.

"Arguably easier to get into"? Yeah, I'm sure it's easy to, if you can get a Pot of Greed or Monster Reborn or whatever. See, getting into Magic doesn't require you buy a playset of the 10 original duals, another playset of shocklands, a playset of painlands, the Power Nine, Channel  , Demonic Tutor  , Balance  , Yawgmoth's Will  , Necropotence  , Earthcraft  , Goblin Welder  , Animate Dead  , Entomb  , the Tolarian Academy  cycle, Masticore  , Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero  , Survival of the Fittest  , Force of Will  , Arcbound Ravager  , insert other famously broken card. The lack of rotation changes things, a lot. I'd say the racial makeup is slightly more diverse. Koth's ambiguously brown. Teferi's black. Grizzled Outcasts  . Obviously, not that much different, but still...
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

This was cool and all... But I really would like to see a Magic/Munchkin comparison...
Stall until two players hit level 9. Everyone exhaust their resources ensuring the first one doesn't win, leaving nothing to counter the second player. If he flips a creature, game over. Otherwise, repeat.
Everything Mown does is elegant.

Staples are incredibly easy to get one's hands on as they have been reprinted many, many times.

Not only that but usually when you get into a game you start casual. It isn't typical to get into magic by assembling a $5,000 Legacy deck.
