Strit Plays On Linux is a series of videos, where I play different games. It's a Let's Play series of native linux games, aswell as games running through Wine. Be aware that I am not a native english speaker, so my english is not that great. If you have any suggestions to games I should play in the future, please post them in a comment and I will consider them.

Today's Game:
Title: Magic The Gathering Arena
Developer: Wizards Of The Coast
Price: Free To Play.
Linux Native: No. Runs in Wine.
Special Guest: None.

Notes:
This game is a digital card game, just like Hearthstone, but with Magic rules.
It's created in Unity, so I can only hope that a native client is in the horizon.

To get this game running I had to create a new 32-bit Wine prefix.
I had to install xact and vcrun2017 with winetricks into the prefix.
I had a lot of graphical glitches, so I tried enabling the DXVK libraries and it now runs flawlessly!
To enable those, install DXVK. IN Arch/Manjaro it's called dxvk-bin and is found in the AUR.
Then run setup_dxvk32 inside the prefix with WINEPREFIX=/path/to/your/prefix setup_dxvk32.

Start the game from MTGA.exe, NOT MTGALauncher.exe.
