And yes, there were rampant cheating accusations. We lived miles away from one another, so instead of meeting up, we'd call each other, play a game, and try to remember what the board states were. Growing up, I remember me and a few of my friends would play Magic over the phone. So, today, I want to talk about something new and gaining popularity while we're all at home: webcam Magic. We all have our awesome decks, our collections we've curated, and a deep love of the game-and nowhere to go and play. This is a problem players all around the world face right now. But I also know that for many of you, me included, a huge part of Magic is about playing in-person, whether it's showing off your hard-to-find Phyrexian Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite promo, or just talking by voice with whomever you're playing.

I love playing Magic digitally, and I encourage you to check it out. Oh, and not to mention Cube Draft is available too!

To play multiplayer formats like Commander, many people I know are flocking to Magic Online to play on there with some form of voice chat running in the background with friends. If you haven't fired either of those up in a while, now is a great time: a lot of improvements have been made and are forthcoming (did you hear about MTG Arena's 8-player drafts?!) that make playing online better than ever. You'd love to play some Magic to pass the time, but leaving the house to interact isn't something on the table in today's world.įirst and foremost, of course, we've got two great digital versions of the tabletop Magic game: MTG Arena and Magic Online. You have your tricked-out Commander deck.
