For more dynamic play, though it wouldn't do well for any non-standard decks. I love the gameplay from arena, it's more interesting, exciting, and I think it's the best way to make your decks look better. Most YouTube channels covering cards have already made the switch, though js that might actually be an argument for the other side

it would just look better for videos and i would likely enjoy them more as a result.

I like both platforms, and perhaps when showing off super competitive decks mtgo should be the go to FOR NOW, as the recent wipe of data from mtga has people grinding with sub-optimal decks to get their cards back/for the first time. I think down the road mtga will be the preferable option, but for now I think it's best used to show off tier 2 and 3 decks.

I dont care for razzle dazzle with animations and such. I like hearthstone. I dont feel like magic needed a hearthstone make over.

If you have the budget to make all the decks. Arena is really cheap to make 2-3 decks but it doesn’t scale well

For everything standard related Arena is a better option since its faster and more readable

I can fully understand board states and cards in hand on MTGO in a moment's glance. I can't do that on MTGA.

Arena would be more enjoyable to watch and I think we should support the platform.

I play a lot of Arena and am very happy with it. I do want to echo that because of the "play for your cards" aspect of the game, many players in the early days of the open beta are playing suboptimal versions of their ideal decks. However, with the ranking/ladder system being more functional this update, I expect that the people at the top of the ladder have played much higher level magic to get there than the bronze players duking it out with their juiced up draft decks, so don't be deterred when someone says the skill level is low. Really the platform as a whole is getting stronger every day as players unlock more cards to be on par with MTGO decks

I admit building decks is harder there than MTGO. But it would be so much nicer if the videos were faster

Now that Magic Arena is in open beta, would you rather see standard videos on there, or still on MTGO?
