On Magic Online, you can make entire decks and test them against other tier 1 decks immediately. You can buy whatever you need on the spot 10 seconds after logging on for the first time. Then you can duo-queue. Change everything at the drop of a hat. Can Arena do that quickly?https://twitter.com/MTGMarmot/status/1042063498870747136 …

Not that quickly, but yes ofc. They're redoing the deck editor in the client anyway, because it's the worst part of the program right now.

How do you get the cards though?

You'll have to bust packs to get the Wildcards etc; and with the vault still up in the air, this isn't finalized.

Yeah that’s just bad for competitive.

They gotta figure it out because drafting is *awesome* in the client. The actual gameplay is fantastic. This is the future, but they need to stick the landing. They're getting closer. (And this is from someone who did nothing but doubt the program from Day 1)

This is the future of casual MTGO play for new players. They will never have older formats on this platform or be streamlined enough for competitive players to get what they want literally immediately.
