Magic Online automatically saves your deck when you leave the Collection scene. So as soon as you're done building your deck — head to the Play Lobby and start battling!
Magic Online features many play options, but when you're just starting out, you may want to take some time to learn the duel interface in a casual Open Play match. To do this, make sure you've built at least one deck using the process above. After you've built your deck, click the Constructed button at the top of the screen, then the Format that matches your deck if you're just using the cards that came with your account, select Standard , then Standard Open Play.
Available games will be displayed in the center of the scene. Either select a match to join or click the Join button to get matched with another player. Open Play matches are single-game matches. If you're ready to step up the competition, the Tournament Practice area features Best-of-Three matches.
The Duel Scene is where the games of Magic Online take place. Player information can be found on the left side of the screen. The battlefield is in the center of the screen and your hand is be found below the battlefield.
Hovering over cards or right-clicking on them will display a more thorough description, and right-clicking will also often open context menus to allow further interaction. As you need them, various game zones will open to allow you to take actions. You can find more about playing matches in the Basic Client section.
You can buy booster packs and Event Tickets from the Magic Online store. Like the other areas, filters on the left side of the screen let you find the products you want. Click the Store scene button in the navigation bar, then click the category of item that you would like to view. Purchases made in the Magic Online store are immediately added to your account.
From the Store scene, click the Add to Cart button for the product that you would like to purchase, and it will be added to your cart on the right side of the screen. You can adjust quantities in the Shopping Cart or click the X button to remove the item from your cart entirely.
When you're ready to complete a purchase, enter your payment information in the boxes provided at the bottom of the Shopping Cart pane, then click Proceed to Checkout. Magic Online will use your billing address from your account creation by default, so if you want to change anything you will need to do so in the Account section prior to your purchase or in the Verify Account Settings link at the bottom of the cart.
To complete your purchase, you'll need to enter your payment information and confirm your order. Note : If you choose PayPal as your payment method, a browser window will open to complete the transaction. Please contact Customer Service if you have any questions or concerns about a purchase. When you damage your opponent, your creatures and spells hit and shake them.
And when they die, their head explodes. Playing the cards feels just like playing with inanimate cardboard objects. And the sounds… honestly remind me of when I played the card game Hearts on Windows MTG Arena is the clear winner here. Recently some updates and improvements? Playing the games involves a whole lot of clicking, virtually manipulating the digital pieces of cardboard like you would in real life.
MTGA, on the other hand, has maybe three major innovations that drastically change what it feels like to play Magic the Gathering digitally. The first is clicking and dragging — many actions are sped up by directly clicking and dragging lands and spells into the play area. This feature partially exists in Magic Online, but not to the same extent. Secondly, the autotapper. This saves an incredible amount of time over the course of the game. When you click and drag a card onto the battlefield, your lands just tap for you in a mostly appropriate fashion without you having to either figure out which to tap or having to click on each one individually.
Finally, the auto-passing of priority. In Arena, if a player has no valid moves to make, the game is just zoomed forward to the next point when a play can be made. Again, a huge time saver. The end result of these changes is that the games go much, much faster. If you play MTGA and are looking for ways to make your play experience even faster , check out our amazing article on tips and tricks for Arena. Since the games individually go faster, I think MTG Arena is way better for getting in a lot of games.
While yes, MTGO has a greater variety of events and formats going at one time, you inevitably have to wait in between rounds to play. If you finish 20 minutes early, you have to wait 20 minutes until your next match. I think many gamers today find that unconscionable. You can take breaks between rounds for as long as you want, just as long as you complete the requisite number of matches before the event ends.

Each account receives 20 New Player Points. These points may be used to enter one of three special new player events; because the entry fees of these events require New Player Points and you cannot purchase any additional New Player Points, these events are generally filled with — you guessed it — people with newly created MTGO accounts.
It is important to note that not only do these new player events offer some small amount of prize value, but they are a great opportunity to learn the MTGO interface without much at stake. Every Magic Online account comes with free cards.
For the most part these cards have little or no value. However, it is possible to build a deck out of these cards, and play with friends. Additionally, Basic lands are included, so you won't need to buy them to complete your Constructed decks.
Although these Drafts are likely to offer you the worst value proposition of the two event types, they are a perfectly fine way to use your New Player Points if you just like Drafting, or simply don't want to pay for a Standard deck.
The upside is that they don't require any additional investment. Drafts are usually done in 8 person pods. But New to Magic Online Drafts are done in pods of 4. Every Magic Online account comes with free cards , which includes 40 of each basic land Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, Swamp , 2 of each Common from the five most recent sets currently Kaladesh , Aether Revolt , Amonkhet , Hour of Devastation , and Ixalan , and several other Uncommons, and Rares. However, it is possible to build a deck out of these cards, and begin playing right away.
The bots offering free cards to players include:. Although these free resources don't offer much value, they offer a good way to pick up new cards not otherwise included with your account. Magic Online can technically cost nothing to play beyond the initial investment. Using the cards that come with the account as well as the Boosters, Event Tickets and Bot Credit earned and playing freeform i. However, one of the best parts of Magic is playing established formats.
Pauper is a format where only commons are legal. It has its own banned and restricted list , and is quickly becoming a popular format on MTGO with the introduction of Pauper Leagues. In a nutshell, each turn consists of creating a token copy of a randomly generated creature card equal to the converted mana cost spent that turn.
Each game is totally unpredictable as a result, and by its definition is something that can only be played online. The Momir Vig avatar costs about 11 tickets, and the basic lands are included in with your account.
Both Pauper and Momir Basic can be quite intricate to play. Given the low cost of these formats, you could very likely play either format using the Event Tickets and Bot Credit you got with your account and not spend anything else since they are available to play for no entry fee. For those looking to play competitively and have the opportunity to win prizes in events, there are also pay-to-play events and leagues available for these formats.
Penny Dreadful is an incredibly budget format meant to be played solely on Magic Online. In Penny Dreadful, any card that costs 0. The format includes many powerful cards, such as Aetherling, Animate Dead, and Mother of Runes, and it self-regulates. If a deck becomes too dominant, it will eventually increase slightly in price, and become illegal to play.
The general rule for the other formats is the same as it is in paper Magic: the older the format is, the more expensive it will be to buy in. Cards in older formats are more likely to retain their value since, generally, only new bannings or restrictions significantly affect their pricing.
