How to play and find other players online?
Once you installed and know how to play with a program, you'll need to find other online players to play Magic with. To find them, just go to our Play Room by clicking on it in the menu. You can also visit us with mIRC on /server irc.SolidIRC.com and /join #Magic-League. You can ask in the room if anyone wants to play an online casual game with you. You should also preferably tell what format you would like to play to avoid getting opponents with 4 Black Lotuses and nasty combos :)
Decks and Types of MtG
Now you'll probably need some decks to play with and want to be up to date with what cards are legal in the different formats. You can find decks in our Magic: the Gathering Decks section, where the best decks of our tournaments can be viewed and downloaded. A listing of each format and its rules can be found in our "Formats of Magic"-section.
How to get in the league ratings and play league matches?
To play matches that count for league rating, you need to sign up. After that you can join tournaments and play single matches for rating on the site.
How to play in online tournaments?
A link to join an online tournament will appear on the main page when one is forming. At the same time announcements will be made in the chatroom. The best thing to do is pay attention to the chatroom and just play single league matches or casual in the meanwhile.
On the site, when a tournament is forming, you can just click a link saying "join". This will lead you to a page where you have to upload your deck. Once you did that, you will be in the tournament and you just need to wait until the countdown finished and then you will be paired. Then you just contact that person in the chatroom and you report afterwards on the site. The instructions on the site will be very simple.
When will there be any online tournaments?
There will be online Magic: the Gathering tournaments held by Judges at variable unannounced times. Due to every judge's busy schedule, we can only have a certain amount of online tournaments scheduled. But when looking at the past, you can expect to see around 20 unscheduled single-elimination tournaments a day. Scheduled Tournaments are listed in our Calendar. Click on it in the menu to see when they will be! Some online tourneys will also have prize support! Read more in the Calendar section.
Important rules to keep in mind:
- Once a report is reported by both players, it can only be deleted by the Ratings Manager. If a match is reported incorrectly, either protest a match (singles match) or send an e-mail to Ratings@magic-league.com.
- Also read our Rules section to learn about our rules concerning online Magic: the Gathering play on Magic-League and chatroom procedures.
Team play
We also stimulate online team play by keeping track of Team Roster and Team Points. Team points will be awarded when Team members do well in Tournaments. You can read more about Teams in our Teams section.
Special Chat Program: mIRC
Do you dislike our league room for its simplicity and abundance of a lot of options? Then you should get mIRC! HERE we have a mIRC Walkthrough to help you learning how to use it. You can download mIRC on the mIRC.com website.
