The Updated MTG Arena New Player Experience Explained! | MTG Arena Beginner Guide

Wild cards, mythic cards. How do I know what cards I want? I'm completely new. Red, green, white? Does it matter?

I'm playing for the first time. On my 3rd game against Sparky, she enchanted one of my creatures before returning it to my hand, then added an aura to their own creature that permanently tapped it. That's it, she did nothing else the whole match

Awesome video thank you just starting out today

Hello, I'm new to MTG Arena as well. I happened to follow your guide but somehow didn't get the 600 gems for free. Does anyone know why? Was that limited?

It legitimately help 👍

Such a shitty pointless video

Magic the Gathering: Arena
TL;DR
Arena is ( to Me at least ) the best platfrom to play MtG online, despite the fact that Wizards of the Coast is clearly lacking in supporting this AMAZING GAME because it still has many flaws. If these flaws are fixed, it will be a whole lot better and worth spending money on
I will probably keep playing this game 1-3 hours every day untill the severs go down: It is up to Wizards of the Coast to stop that from happening
Features;
- Constucted + Ranked ( Standard, Alchemy, Historic, Explorer & Timeless )
- Brawl ( Gimped Commander / EDH )
- Events: Draft, Sealed, Noob stuff ( Starter Deck Duels & Color Challenge )
Economy;
- Every Set release = 3 free booster packs
- Every Day = New Quest ( 3 max at the same time ) + rewards for Daily Wins ( 15 max )
- Every Week = rewards for Weekly Wins ( 15 max )
- Mastery Pass every new Set = free rewards unlocked at the bottom
Flaws;
- Any Wild Card beyond common will either take time / money to get. Only solution is to make one really good deck to get some easier wins to farm Quests and Wins to get said Wild Cards
- There are many bugs that have been around for YEARS and the devs seem too incompetent / forced by higher ups not to fix
- Duels between Friends & Crossplay between PC and Mobile is basic and crappy with frequent errors and dissconnects
- Ranked mode full of try-hards net-decking the same Meta decks, forcing You to do the same. I ignore the whole thing despite the monthly boosters as reward, because of the stress and time lost going up and down in ranking, compounded by the RNG nature of Card Games
- Digital only cards being FORCED into every constructed format, alienating those who would rather only play with "Real / Physically Printed" Cards
About Me;
I have been playing since Urza's Saga ( 1998 ) so in a sense; I am this game's target audience. After playing on Arena, I have sold all my Physical Cards, for money matters not, if You can not play with Anyone and have been playing Arena on average 1 - 3 hours almost every day. On Arena I tend to play in Historic only, using 175 - 200 Card "Ultra" Decks with ~ 80 lands & love to beat up Noobs due to My insane handicap in consistency. My 2 favorite colors are Black & Green and have them tattooed on the back of My hands; Black on the Right and Green on the Left so I can always see them, for as long as I live :)Magic the Gathering: Arena

I've just begun playing, and I've got the hang of battling. My main struggle lies in creating my own deck.

I just started this game 3 days ago but I have no fucking idea WTF Is going on I don't understand a single thing & it's giving me anxiety I might just quit I've never been this frustrated with a game 😢in my life

What game modes can I play with a friend for fun?

Ive finished my spark rank and am now bronze. I can now only play ranked Alchemy and Jump in? Why am I not able to choose ranked Standard? Every search ive made on this topic tells me to click the skip tutorial button in account options but i dont have that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i needed this!

Thanks for de codes man🫶🏻

Thank you man! If not your video I wouldnt find out about free packs codes and how to use jump points! <3

This was super helpful. Thank you! 😊

Can I put in the codes on mobile?

thanks for the video

Incredible for a New player, thanks !

I went to build the mono fire deck but it says it cant be used in the current alchemy format. Any idea what i can do?

After opening all the packs from the codes I got 12 mythic,wild cards and I noticed for those cards are 19.99 for 4 In the shops thank you so much

Thanks for all the codes 😊

I was hoping you'd cover how to use the wild cards, since I couldn't figure out a way to search for cards I don't own.

Extremely helpul video! Tahnk you!

I really want to get into MTG, but it is so overwhelming when you don't know anything. The only card I can name is Black Lotus, and even then I am not 100% confident that's even a card, lol. I see that this game is turning 30 years old this year. It's super intimidating to even just try getting into it. When a card game starts it is easy to get into because there are only so many cards, but I have to take into consideration 30 years of card releases...

Trying to build a mostly solo green (a few white cards, namely botanical brawler) with lots of stacking counters and adding trample. Any cards I should specifically be looking for?

thanks for this wonderful guide.

liked the white deck the most and have been leaning into Angel cards. Even got some Historic Angels that are freakin busted against my friend. Even though I can't play them in ranked.

First time I've reached platinum in rankeds using only starter decks, playing like 2-3 games a day. Personally I dont care about rank, I just wanted to finish quests :> Those decks are good enough! I didnt create my own deck yet, just building a collection. This is what I call enjoyment

I might just be missing it, but where is the search bar for codes on mobile?

Game seems so complicated! Your tips have helped me!

Thank you! It's slightly confusing to begin with

for some reason, I only have 5 jump in tokens. Did this change recently? I accidentally skipped spark rank so it may have been a reward there?

Thank you for the new player guide :) I didn't know about the Jump-In tokens and it's good advice to play drafts and gain more cards.

OMG, so many free packs. Cool! Thanks a lot. I didn't know that was even a thing.

Hey man, I just wanted to thank you! I've just started arena and I built the mono-red deck you suggested. I'm having fun, and I've made it up to silver ranks tonight after fiddling around a bit. Do you have any suggestions for sub ins to deal with all the toxic decks that I seem to be running into? I feel like I have a bad matchup with them as of now.

Just started a week ago, did the color challenges and starter deck duels but i’m not seeing jump in. Is that not a thing anymore?

Sometimes the game says discard a card or put a card into the library. I've clicked, clicked and dragged all over the bloody place but I'm buggered if I can get it to do the action. There seems to be some sort of secret that the software is unwilling to part with, anybody got any ideas?

Unless I'm missing something, I do seem to have to win with a given dual-colour starter deck to unlock it

I came back to Magic after being away since 2005. The tutorial was a huge help getting back into my favorite game.

i am very experienced in TCGs and I kind of built a deck in MTG Arena with which I sometimes win but it always feels like I dont use the full potential of my cards even if I have not many of them. I never had problems to build good decks in TCGs but in MTG Arena I am hopeless :')

Now that was very good video about mtga app and how to get started.. thanks a lot.😁
I have played little more Stormbound and like it a lot. But I have found my self watching these mtg videos again and again..😁

Literally got into magic a few days ago and you have been a great help thank you

Thank you for your videos, i've started playing via the app couple of days ago and your content have been helpful.
Where can i find the updated redeemable codes?

thanks for these beginner videos, they are extremely helpful!

I got two days on the game and the mono aggro deck works really well, video was helpful. Is there any ways to improve the red mono deck you shared? I don't mind throwing some mythic or rare wildcards for it since I'll play Magic rather casually

Thanks for the great video - really helpful. I’m trying to craft Llanowar Elves, but the games says it’s not craftable, do you know how you unlock these?
