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
Part of the confusion will likely be from the fact that there are many, many different ways to play Magic. If you're looking to learn the game, your best bet will be to download MTG Arena and work through the tutorials and color challenges - that should give you a good grasp on foundational mechanics. I also recommend you search out your local game store and drop by, mention that you're looking to learn the game... Source: 11 months ago

MTG Arena - Magic the Gathering online free to play (with the option to spend real money) - if you want to practice and learn how effects, cards, or the stack plays out correctly, or if you want to practice building your own decks, etc., this is a good way to become a better player, too. https://magic.wizards.com/en/mtgarena.

Often the hobby shops that sell those games will run games evenings as well. If you can find one, he could go along and start playing. Maybe he'd make friends there, maybe not - but he'd still be interacting and having fun if he likes the game. (He could try out the online version here, and if he likes it then try the card game version for the social interaction). Source: 12 months ago
Lastly, if you haven't already, download MTG Arena (also available on the Epic Games store). It has a great tutorial for how to play Magic, and a complex in-game rules system that will help reduce mistakes and prevent rule breaks. Source: about 1 year ago
There's also Arena, although you'd still be paying for pictures of cards. Source: about 1 year ago
None of the competitive formats are a good introduction to the game. I really recommend trying it on Arena to learn the basics of the game before buying anything. Plus, most formats cost $100+ for a competitive deck. You're going to want to make sure you're into the gameplay first. Source: about 1 year ago
Here's the digital client Arena. Its tutorial will walk you through the game and the engine makes it impossible to play incorrectly, at least ruleswise (any strategy mistakes are your own). Source: about 1 year ago

A good place to start learning is Magic Arena. It has a decent tutorial. For more in-depth learning, going to your local game store and learning from a player can be more helpful, since you can ask about parts of the game you find confusing. Source: over 1 year ago
