mtg-emulator

For playing Magic: the Gathering remotely with friends. The JS code acts as the player's hand and provides deck management: drawing, scrying, finding, adding, and shuffling. Battlefield, graveyard, and other gameplay areas are conducted in Google Slides (or in Powerpoint while streaming).

Instructions

1. Open mtg.html and input decklist
2. Open a shared Google Slides document for battlefield and graveyard management
3. Play

Recommendations During Use

• 2400x1600px Google/Powerpoint slides allow appropriately-sized images. Cards in the UI are 244px wide.
• Turning on clipboard history, if available on one's device, creates a safety net for mistakes.
• Every action in MTG is possible here, but some actions will require some creativity.

Solutions for Bugs

If an image fails to load (which happens rarely and inconsistently), the problem can be solved by clearing the browser's cache and/or cookies, then refreshing the page. This will prematurely end your game, however.

Other Limitations

Resizing the UI window or inspecting in the browser will cause cards to display less effectively.
