I personally use cockatrice, there’s almost always a game available

MTGO and MTGA are the official clients (MTGA only has brawl. MTGO has commander but is also not particularly budget friendly). There are also unofficial ones like cockatrice, untap.in, xmage, forge (with some of these, you might be able to play commander, with others not). Many also play commander via webcam using https://spelltable.wizards.com/

I’ve been playing some Magic recently on Forge and considering rejoining my local game store (LGS). However, it seems like the company is pushing Commander a lot, and the most recommended way to play it is through Cockatrice. Nevermind, I’ll keep playing on Forge, and maybe I’ll try Cockatrice. I’m just not excited about playing a format where “Bobsponge” is a thing. It makes me wonder, what are they even doing with this game?

@counterspell Lemmy not federating post content does make things annoying

I like forge a lot. I play it to test decks. Playing commander vs a bot is slightly better than goldfishing.

I also really like the adventure mode. Then again, I lived shandalar.

My only complaint about forge is the atrocious loading time on Android. Maybe it’s my phone but I doubt it.

On the fact of MTGO being expensive, that is true but there are rental services so you don’t have to buy the cards.

Kinda got to laugh at Wizards’ flagship app unable to play the most popular format.

With the 50/50 announcement, it’s pretty clear that magic is dead and walking

@Didros @Dippy half of the full box magic sets next year will be universes beyond. Final Fantasy, Spiderman, and unknown.
The regular sets will be the racing one, Tarkir, and the space opera one.

50% (or more) of the content they will be releasing going forward will be IP tie-ins.
