MTG doesn’t have finite number of pieces, or finite number of actions each turn though.

Naturally people have implemented Turing machines in mtg. www.toothycat.net/~hologram/Turing

Also, the endgame criteria of mgt can be changed, but that said there is only a finite number of simple possible endgames in a sense.

It depends. I'm pretty sure it is possible to layer an unlimited number of contrasting win/lose conditions; distinguishing essentially different "endgames" seems slippery.
