any Magic the Gathering ONLINE players here? like the client for windows not arena. I have a job interview there for QA lead, and I haven't been playing magic seriously for a while. I'm playing games to get back into it, but any tips on how to help build decks or get good a good user experience out of MtGO would appreciated. #mtg #magicthegatheringonline #magicthegathering mostly looking for tips on using the app/interface. It's definitely intimidating.

    @Sablebadger - 0 is auto yield until next end step, 1 is to yield. People rebind shortcuts as well, but I mainly just use 0, 1 and setting stops at specific stages if I'm going to do something - Sites like mtggoldfish, mtgdecks, mtgtop8 are good resources for Meta decks - Pauper tournament practise is great starting point in terms of lots of cards being cheap but having great quality games without needing to enter a league. I have had a lot of salty people quit on me in other formats' tournament practise if I try to play anything resembling a Meta deck - Get cards by trading with bots - A lot of people use rental services like manatraders or cardhoarder to be able to borrow cards without needing to dish out those exxy USD for virtual cardboard that might devalue. - Some people will be salty at you in chat. Hide the chat if you don't want to see it (I like laughing at the people insulting me for playing burn tho)

    @Sablebadger super intimidating. I would go through settings first and make sure all your pauses are set up. The number of times I lost a game because I didn’t set up the game to pause to allow me to respond, that kind of thing, was a lot
