How to use the bot

Let's set up your personal bot. First, download it from the download page or from GitHub, then unzip it into any directory on your device.

In the downloaded folder, find the file specific to your platform and double-click it to start the bot. It will now install the required binaries into a virtual environment.

Wait until everything is installed. The bot should start automatically afterwards.

The first time you start the bot, you should see a notification with some instructions. Follow them carefully, and once everything is set up correctly, you'll be able to press the Start Bot button. Be aware that MTG Arena must already be open at this point.

Choose your desired game mode. We recommend letting the bot play in Historic Play mode for the best win rate. You will also need to select a deck of your choice before starting the bot. Check out the Decks section to see which decks work well with the bot.

Then go back to the main menu and press Start Bot. The bot now plays autonomously, queuing for the next match on its own once a game ends. If you want the bot to play with the starter decks, choose Starter Deck mode and click the Start Bot button. The bot will then select a deck automatically.

Automatic Account Switching

Manage Accounts

Open Settings → Manage Accounts in the bot's interface. Set the interval after which the bot should switch to the next account, for example 15 min, and confirm with the Save Time button.

Enter the accounts you want to run in the list below, then set the order in which they should be logged in at the bottom of the window.

Rename your decks by color

Open your decks in Magic Arena and rename each one using a color abbreviation. The bot uses these names to pick the right deck for the active color quest.

Red mana symbol
R
White mana symbol
W
Green mana symbol
G
C
Creature
Multicolor decks list the colors in sequence. For example, RG = Red/Green. C is reserved for creatures-only decks used during the Creature Quest.

Take a screenshot of each deck thumbnail

Capture each deck's thumbnail (as shown below) so the bot can visually recognize the deck on screen.

Save screenshots into the Accounts folder

Save each screenshot inside the Accounts folder, under a subfolder named after the matching account. Name each image the same way as the deck. For example, a Black deck is saved as B.png.
