Magic: The Gathering Arena VS XMage

Would recommend you try MTG Arena with a friend. Source: 8 months ago

If you need to learn the game, Arena has a decent tutorial. It's also available on Steam (though it may require Epic Games to launch), Google Play, and the App Store. Source: 11 months ago

Get the official premiere online client, MTG Arena. You can start playing there for free and grind up a collection, and then decide from there where you want to go - more IRL casual stuff like Commander, more competitive play, limited play with sealed product, whatever. That's hard to decide unless you've played for a while, and Arena should let you get a good idea about what you like in the game. Source: 11 months ago

Have you downloaded MTG Arena? Its tutorial will answer most questions about the basics. Source: 11 months ago

For the past two days, I have been unable to access xmage.de. Is the server offline? Is it dead? No one has said anything. Does anyone know what is going on???? I hope this is not the end!!! Source: about 1 year ago

Launcher hasn't worked for a week, can't reach xmage.de, and isitdownrightnow agrees. What's going on? Source: over 1 year ago

You can use Xmage or Cockatrice as dedicated online free platforms, or Untap for in-browser gameplay (Untap has no built in rules engine, so be careful that you're following the rules!). There is also a small but dedicated group that play on Tabletop Simulator if you have it. Source: over 1 year ago

Lastly there's XMage which allows for PVP with rules enforcement. It's a bit resource intensive though, so I would probably try the other two first if you're interested. Source: over 1 year ago

Yeah only an idiot would play on the official mtga client paying so much for decks when third party clients have them for free, like http://xmage.de/ https://github.com/magefree/mage. Source: over 1 year ago
