The following instructions are heavily inspired by /u/uhohohdear.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: ~~ WOTC just released a new executable that should work with these original directions. I updated the download link below.

Run MTG Arena on Mac OSX Magic: The Gathering. Updated Oct 5, 2018. Getting Started. MTGArena is officially only available on Windows, yet it's possible to run the.exe on mac osx using 🍷wine. Needed Files. For this tutorial. Before installing software, select 'Set Screen Options' and turn off 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D'. To install Wine on your Mac, you will need the following: macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or above (but 10.15 Catalina is not recommended) Access to an Admin account, with password. Unzip MTGArena.zip and drag MTGArena.app into your /Applications/ folder. Right click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Open.' Before installing software, select 'Set Screen Options' and turn off 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D'. Select 'Install Software' and then select.

Dependencies

  1. Your macOS/OS X version must be 10.8 or greater
  2. Your Mac must support OpenGL 4.0 or greater (you can find out whether it does here)
  3. You must download the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows executable
  4. You must download makeMTGArena.zip and unzip it. It will create MTGArena.app, which is a custom Wineskin wrapper you can use to install MTGArena.

Note: If you're like me, you may not trust unofficial Wineskin wrappers. Unfortunately, the Wineskin project is way behind and only supports Wine 2.x. We need at least Wine 3.0 to run MTGA. If Wineskin ever gets around to updating, you can get the official download here.

Installing MTGA

  1. Drag the custom Wineskin wrapper to your /Applications/ folder.
  2. Right click/Control click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Open'

Note: The wrapper has 'Screen Options' and then 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D' unchecked and 'Use Mac Driver instead of X11' checked. If you complete installation of MTGA and are getting DirectX 11 errors, come back to this step and change these settings, but the defaults sjould work.

  1. Click 'Install Software'
  2. Click 'Choose Setup Executable'
  3. Navigate to and select the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows executable you previously downloaded ('MTGAInstaller_0.1.1615.720204.msi')
  4. Wait for MTGA to install and ignore any warnings (hopefully you won't have any!). When complete, click 'Finish'
  5. Back in Wineskin, a 'Choose Executable' window should be available. Select 'MTGA.exe'.

You can now click 'Quit' and start playing MTGA! If you'd like to add Retina support, carry on.

Adding Retina/HiDPI Support

  1. In Wineskin, click 'Advanced' and then select 'Tools'
  2. Click 'Registry Editor (regedit)'
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -> Mac Driver (if Mac Driver doesn't exist, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine and then use Edit -> New -> Key to create a new key named Mac Driver)
  4. Select Edit -> New -> String Value from the menu and name it RetinaMode
  5. Double click RetinaMode, set its value to y, and click 'OK'
  6. Close the Registry Editor and then click 'Config Utility (winecfg)' in Wineskin's Advanced -> Tools menu
  7. Click on the 'Graphics' tab, enter the correct dpi under 'Screen resoution', and click 'OK'.

You can now close Wineskin and start playing MTGA in high resolution!

FAQS

I'm getting a DirectX 11 error and it's making me sad.

This wrapper already includes the fixes below, so you should not have these issues.

Repeat steps 0 and 1 under 'Installing MTGA' and trying unchecking 'Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D' and checking 'Use Mac Driver instead of X11'. If you're still having problems, use TextEdit to create a plaintext file (use shift+command+T to toggle between rich text and plaintext) with the following information:

Visit Tunefind for music from your favorite TV shows and movies. Find all 63 songs in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow Soundtrack, with scene descriptions. Listen to trailer music, OST, original score, and the full list of popular songs in the film. Castlevania aria of sorrow music mp3 download.

Save this file as d3d.reg. Go to /Applications/ then right click/control click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Show Package Contents'. Open 'Wineskin.app'. In Wineskin, click 'Advanced', select 'Tools', and then click 'Registry Editor (regedit)'. From the 'Registry' menu, choose 'Import Registry File..' and select the d3d.reg file you just created. Close regedit, exit Wineskin, and try running MTGArena again.

I'm playing MTGA in windowed mode and, after switching to another program, it stops responding.

Everything is fine. Just grab the MTGA window and wiggle it a little bit. Everything should be back to normal.

I tried to launch MTGA and I get some error that crashes the program!

Again, the fix for this is already applied but I left the question in the FAQ, you should not have this issue with this wrapper.

This is a common issue with running MTGA in Wine. Close the program and wait a few seconds. It should work fine on the second attempt. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If this really bugs you, here's a fix so that MTGA will launch perfectly every time:

  1. Right/control-click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Show Package Contents'
  2. Navigate to Contents/MacOS
  3. Rename 'WineskinLauncer' to 'WineskinLauncher.bin'
  4. Create a new plaintext file in Content/MacOS and save it as 'WineskinLauncher'

Note: If you're using TextEdit, make sure you've turned off the option to add a .txt file extension.

  1. Paste the following inside of the new WineskinLauncher file:
  1. In Terminal, run chmod 755 /Applications/MTGArena.app/Contents/MacOS/WineskinLauncher

There's an Arena update and nothing works anymore!

Yeah. It's annoying. You will need to download a new msi and reinstall.

Mtg Arena Mac Support

  1. Either unzip the empty Wineskin wrapper again (MTGArena.app) or right click MTGArena and select 'Show Package Contents' and click 'Wineskin' then click 'Advanced', then 'Tools', then 'Rebuild Wrapper'. You should now have an 'empty' wrapper again. Exit.
  2. Double click the MTGArena and select 'Install Software'
  3. Click 'Choose Setup Executable'
  4. Navigate to and select the Magic the Gathering Arena Windows msi file you previously downloaded
  5. Install as above.

Run MTG Arena on your Mac!

Notes

The build and update scripts fetch the current MTGA application version prior to downloading and installing, ensuring the application is up to date.

Requirements

  • Wine Stable 3.0.5
  • XCode Command Line Tools
  • Homebrew
  • xquartz
  • cabextract
  • zenity
  • winetricks
  • wget
  • jq

Quick Start

For the fastest start, after confirming that XCode Command Line Tools is installed, you can run Install.command right from Finder. This will install prerequisites and create the application bundle all in one step.

Installing dependencies and prerequisites

Check to see if you have XCode Command Line Tools installed by running xcode-select -p in the terminal. If it is installed, you'll be presented with the tools path. If it is not installed, run xcode-select --install in the terminal.

A script has been supplied to install Homebrew, xquartz, cabextract, zenity, winetricks, and wine in one shot. This script is very naive and may not be ideal in all circumstances. If you have any concerns, please open the script and execute the commands manually.

Build and wrap

Run the build script to create the Wine bottle, install the remaining dependencies and MTG Arena, and make a Mac application wrapper.

Enjoy

If all has gone well, Finder will open to reveal the newly created application bundle of 'out/MTGA.app'. You may move this to your Applications directory and run it as you would any other application.

Updating

Mtg Arena For Mac

Locate the MTGA application created in the previous step (probably /Applications), right click on the app icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. Open the 'bin' directory and double click on 'Update.command'. This will launch an update script in a terminal window that downloads and installs the latest version. Once complete, close the terminal window and run the MTGA application as normal.

Troubleshooting

The scripts are all fairly simple and do not provide much in the way of fault tolerance. If something doesn't seem to be working during the build, you may try to remove &> /dev/null from the wine commands to watch the output for obvious issues.
