Decided to give Magic: The Gathering Arena a go again. Last time I tried it was a few years ago and I don't know why I didn't continue with it.

Finished the tutorial rather easily as I still know how to play that game. Got to the 'hub' or whatever that was... and ALT-F4'd rather quick because it was confusing as fuck and I couldn't figure out how to simply 'play the next game' against their AI, as I wasn't interested in playing against human opponents yet.

Oh, now I remember why I didn't continue with Arena.

@trinsec IIRC when you click play, you have the option to select format (modern/standard/whatever) and best-of-N, and in that menu there's a "bot match" option with an icon of a quintain.

I haven't played in several months, though - I don't enjoy the deck-building, so every time the set of legal cards changes, I give it up until I feel like making another deck to conform to the new rules.

@khird@qoto.org Yeah, a friend explained that to me so I gave it a go again.

I've tried the green-white deck with the 'saddle' mechanism. I disliked that a lot.
Then I tried a red deck something... but red isn't my style, so conceded that as well.
Then I tried the Large and in Charge green deck. That was kind of amusing, summoning overkill big creatures. Won a round. But still, compared to the standalone games (2013, 2014, 2015 that I have) those decks aren't to my tastes so far. I'll probably try more decks tomorrow, but I just managed to find a working version of Magic Shandalar, so I might actually give my childhood nostalgia a go instead.
