  • Leading paths you can inspect before committing.
  • An animated outlook that reflects the board assessment.

7 days free with email verification. No payment card or Patreon subscription required. Then $10 a month through Patreon.

Cast Emergency Phytomedic, then Ghalta — the Beast makes it cost five. Hold back this turn; Seed Suture next turn, then swing with everything. 0:08 · example Coach advice · Fenrir voice
The 4.0 compact desktop view: fixed rank and recent matches, Cast Theorix Metamage as the next decision, a small outlook marked Behind, a clickable leading path, and visible recovery controls. The outlook is a board assessment, not win odds.
Actual 4.0 desktop UI, rendered with the recorded G1_T8 board fixture and synthetic rank and recent-match examples; not a live match or a measured result.

The 4.0 series

A clearer view. A more expressive booth.

Compact decisions and forecasts, Hype and Technical announcers, hosted Chatterbox speech, and managed desktop updates.

The compact view

Keep the next choice in focus.

The essentials stay visible. Open the plan, board, forecast assumptions or activity when you want more detail.

Know whose decision it is

The current decision separates your response from the opponent's priority. See whether you're playing, Autoplay is acting, or the board is being reassessed.

Compare the paths from here

A green line marks the leading supported path. Expand an alternative to inspect its actions and projected life totals. Inspecting a path doesn't change Autoplay's choice.

A moving balance, not win odds

The outlook tilts as the board assessment changes. It is a heuristic read of the position, not a percentage chance of winning. A leading path can still be a projected loss.

When the board changes, Coach withdraws the old forecast while it reassesses. Future draws and unknown opponent spells are outside the modeled paths.

Illustration: choose a position to see the balance move. The app's outlook animation can also be turned off.

Illustrative outlook

You ahead

Board assessment · not a win probability


Speech & voices

Your coach. Or your commentary booth.

Choose spoken Coach advice or two ArenaOnAir announcers inside Coach. Pick a voice pair and a style independently.

Hype

Let the big moments land.

Playful reactions and rising energy for consequential plays. The play-by-play caster calls the action; the analyst explains how the position and each player's route to winning change.

Technical

Follow the strategy beneath the play.

Measured delivery, dry wit and precise analysis. Hear about pressure, resources, interaction windows and the choices that could turn the match.

Hosted Chatterbox, without a local speech-model install.

Choose Chatterbox in Speech & voices to use hosted speech with your Coach access. Kokoro remains available for local speech. Player decisions and urgent prompts take priority over background commentary.

Looking for the standalone broadcast app? Visit ArenaOnAir. Your Patreon key works there too.

Across the match

From the first pick to the next game.

Learn the line as you play

Coach reads the game information Arena exposes in its log and talks through attacks, blocks and sequencing. Deck playbooks give the plan a starting point before the first draw.

Surrak and Goreclaw is already down — move to combat and swing with everything for lethal. 0:05 · example from a coaching log

Draft toward a deck

Pick advice combines card text, your pool and 17Lands data. Get help with the final build, including cuts, or with a sealed pool.

Choosing Way of the Wildspeaker: it works with our Inspired Tethermage and Kiora of Salt and Sand. 0:06 · example from a draft log

Let Autoplay take the controls

With the platform bridge connected, Autoplay submits lands, spells, targets, attacks and blocks to Arena. Enable auto-queue to continue with your selected deck and queue.

Some decisions can still require your input. Coach surfaces a manual handoff when it cannot safely continue.

Keep the useful details close

Expand the hand, board or activity without crowding the current decision. Open match history to review results, and follow your Arena rank from the desktop.

Questions

Before your first match.

Does coaching need the bridge?

Spoken coaching can read Arena's Player.log with Detailed Logs enabled. Autoplay also needs the platform bridge to submit actions. Setup & Repair checks the connection.

Are the outlook and paths win predictions?

The outlook is a heuristic board assessment, not win odds. Paths show modeled continuations under stated assumptions, not future draws or unknown opponent spells. Open Forecast assumptions in Coach for the limits; a green leading line is not a promise of winning.

Where do the model and voices run?

Coaching and generated commentary use our hosted model service. Chatterbox speech is hosted too; Kokoro speech runs locally. You can choose the speech provider in Speech & voices.

What leaves my computer?

Model requests send the game context needed for coaching or commentary to our service. Hosted Chatterbox also receives the text to speak. Local Kokoro speech stays on your computer.

By default, the app shares redacted finished-match records to help improve Coach. Use Tools → Share Match Logs to Improve the Coach to turn sharing off.

What happens when the trial ends?

Continue with a Patreon subscription and link it to get your license key. The trial does not automatically charge you. Existing trial machines do not get a new trial by reinstalling.

Is this official?

No. mtgacoach is unofficial fan software, not made or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.
