Features
- Real-Time AI Coaching: Tracks your board, hand, opponent cards, and legal moves to deliver turn-by-turn strategic advice.
- In-Game HUD Overlay: Transparent, click-through overlay sits directly on top of MTGA showing coach advice, draft ratings, and target highlights.
- Draft Assistance: Live 17Lands-powered card ratings, composite tier badges, and optimal color-pair recommendations during drafts.
- Voice Coaching: Spoken advice with neural Text-to-Speech (TTS).
- Online AI Backend: Hosted coaching uses GLM 5.3 (
glm-5.3-flash) throughapi.mtgacoach.com. Get your Patreon key at mtgacoach.com/subscribe; the same key also works with ArenaOnAir. Retired model names are migrated to GLM 5.3.
Installation
Standard Windows Installer
Download and run mtgacoach-Setup.exe from the Latest Release.
Command-Line Install (uv / pip)
The package (arenamcp) is not published on PyPI — install from source on Windows, macOS, or Linux using uv or pip:
# 1. Install uv (if not already installed):
# Windows (PowerShell): powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
# macOS / Linux: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# 2. Clone and install mtgacoach from source:
git clone https://github.com/josharmour/mtgacoach.git
cd mtgacoach
uv venv
uv pip install -e ".[full]"
# (or with plain pip: python -m pip install -e ".[full]")
# 3. Launch the app:
uv run mtgacoach-desktop
Alternatively, each release attaches a Python wheel (arenamcp-X.Y.Z-py3-none-any.whl) that can be installed directly with uv tool install <wheel-url>.
First Run & Setup
- Launch
mtgacoach-desktop. - Open the Repair tab — it automatically verifies your MTGA installation, Python runtime, license key, and game logging setup.
- Ensure Detailed Logs (Plugin Support) is enabled in MTGA's Account Options menu.
On native macOS Steam installs the coach works from Player.log alone. Autoplay
acts only through the experimental native macOS bridge library (no Wine or BepInEx):
open MTGA through the coach, or set MTGA's Steam launch option to load the library.
Without the bridge, autoplay hands every decision back to you and the coach keeps advising.
