Installing MTGO on macOS using Wine, and making it look pretty!

The following instructions are heavily inspired by @pauleve. I modified his instructions and then added details about how to make a shortcut and support Retina/HiDPI displays.

Installing MTGO (and Wine and Homebrew and Xquartz and ...)

0. Install Homebrew by opening Terminal and executing the following command:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Installing MTGA on macOS using Wine, and making it look pretty!

The following instructions are heavily inspired by /u/uhohohdear. I modified uhohohdear's instructions and then added support for Retina/HiDPI displays and instructions about how to update MTGA.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: This will no longer work if you upgrade to macOS Catalina, as Wine and Wineskin are 32-bit. I'll update this Gist with 64-bit versions when they become available.

We're back in business!

It appears that the workarounds no longer work. A few people with Macs using Nvidia graphics cards are having success, but Macs with Intel and AMD GPUs crash regularly. At this time, the best way to play Arena on Mac is via Boot Camp or GeForce Now.

After digging through countless posts trying to find a quick and easy way to send Gmail using Ruby, I eventually had to come up with something on my own. Most solutions online require installing Gmail-specific gems (unnecessary) or are based on versions of Ruby prior to 1.8.7, which added native TLS support to Net::SMTP. The following code is based on a great little method by Jerod Santo, but has been expanded to work with Gmail and Net::SMTP's native TLS support:

require 'net/smtp'

def send_gmail(to,opts={})
  opts[:server]     ||='smtp.gmail.com'
  opts[:port]       ||= 587
  opts[:from_dom]   ||='<your_domain>'
  opts[:login]      ||='<your_login>'

opts[:pass] ||=''
