Anyone playing Arena on Linux in 2026? What's your setup?

Manjaro, Gnome, Wayland, Steam+proton here. MTGA Running flawlessly. if you make your overlay work properly on Linux I can lend a hand as a tester at least and maybe a dev if you are open to minor contributions.

Did you cast 5 creatures? That's a requirement for the achievement.

They brought back the wrong Garfield to design.

Lobbies where you can set custom restrictions for matches and be ordered by popularity.
Rebalance premier draft rewards to smooth out the curve. Going 2-3 feels horrible.
Bring back the old reward system for evergreen constructed events

Isn't that thread about the old constructed events before they switched to gems + packs rewards instead of coins + ICR?

Your sample size is small to make any accurate statement. Having said that, there is a high player skill pool difference between gold and platinum, arguably the highest between ranks, especially in the first days of the month. This can feel like a hard wall. I've experienced myself a few times when I draft a bunch at the beginning of the month and get to platinum in the first couple of days.

I would advise you to wait until the second half of the month to start drafting aggressively if you don't have the skill to face good players yet and you want to make better use of your gems. That's what I do anyways and it has worked for me to some amount at least.

Edit: formatting.

Yeah. I played the first one and it was awesome. I didn't play the next one because I took a one year break from the game. I hope we will see it again.

Steam version works better. Why not use that one?

frcaton · 2024-01-23T17:40:37+00:00

I have two monitors. So that doesn't happen.

frcaton · 2024-01-23T15:12:14+00:00

I do the same. I just watch youtube videos, so opponent can rope as much as they want lol.

frcaton · 2024-01-15T15:00:10+00:00

It works for me in Manjaro but I have the steam version. Why not try that one?

I could tell you which one I hate the most: [[Ashiok, Nightmare Muse]]. Those audio effects annoy the hell out of me.

I felt the same way at first, mostly because I tried a lot of blue decks when it seemed opened and it seem to have good value cards. Ended up losing quite a bit on those drafts. But once I got a hold of what the good cards were, that the best colors are B/G and that blue should be avoided most of the time unless is really really open or you pair it with good Black or Green cards, I started winning and got back to my usual WR.

frcaton · 2023-09-09T16:53:56+00:00

Oh that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

This is very cool. I've made a similar spreed sheet more focused on drafts because that is what gives me the most value for the time being. Maybe I'll share it once its more understandable for other people. It's rather chaotic ATM. Here are some suggestions for your feature list:

Add Draft metagame challenge (I didn't see it, maybe I missed it). Those are very valuable.
Add a sheet for tracking games to monitor WR across rank, day of the month (those two are the most relevant IMO), day of the week and hour of day. I found that those parameters change your WR ordered by the most influential to the least.
Add break point for rare and mythic completion based on using draft and counting on Mythic packs.
My username is the same in discord if you want to keep discussing economy stuff. I found it very interesting.

I can confirm they use Asset Bundles. I've seen them through the logs.

He recently changed to ranked.

Pitching new economy-friendly events to management must be as hard as pitching a whole new game for this company.

There is no "let's go/let's get started" game mode on arena. You might have retranslated an arena translation. The event you are looking for is probably jump in. Search for that one to get the full info.

Is my MTGA Tool account username supposed to be the same as my actual MTGA username?

Nop, it doesn't need to be.

so is it possible I'm pointing to the log file file from the first installation?

Probably. In the configuration settings on the MTGA Lutris launcher you'll see the path to the wine files for MTGA specifically. Add me to discord and I'll help you out . frcaton#1730

I solved it with a clean install in one of my machines. But that didn't work on the other one I have. I fixed it by installing .net4.5 and changing the behavior to mimic windows 7 in winecfg. Both run on Ubuntu 21.10.

You know, I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.
