Now that you are actually in a game, it's time to actually play!

First when you first join a game, the screen will look something like this:

At the beginning of a game, you usually shuffle your library a number of times by either going to "Action -> Shuffle Library" OR by pressing Ctrl + S. Then, usually both player rolls a 20-sided dice to see who goes first ("Action -> Roll a Die" or Ctrl + I). Then, each player draws 7 cards and decides whether to keep or mulligan ("Action -> Mulligan" or Ctrl + M). Then, the first player takes his or her turn and the game proceeds.

Turn phases: In playing online, it is usually considered very bad-mannered to not use phases. This is actually fairly simple. The phases are indicated by the icons in the middle of the screed, as such:

Click on each phase to indicate that it is now that time of the turn. You cand double click on some to automatically do whatever it is that usually happens during that phase.

Important Game Hints -

1)Right-clicking & Holding on one of your cards and dragging it over another card will show an arrow that indicates targeting. Drag it over your oppenent's life total to indicate you are directly targeting them.

2)Right-clicking on your life total will let you increment it by a chosen amount.

3) Double Clicking a card will tap it. Do it again and it will untap.

3) To search your library, to to "View - > My Library...". To get a card from your library click and drag the card to the play area or your hand. To put it face down on the play are hold down shift while you drag. To put a card that you searched for on top of your library (a la Vampiric Tutor), first put it in the play area (either face up or face down depending on whether you need to show whatever it is you seached for to you opponent) and then drag it to your deck.

4) To look at X number of cards on top of your library, go to "View -> Top Cards Of My Library" and enter in the number of cards you want to see.

5) To remove a card from the game face down (usually temporarily), drag it over to the corner of the play area that you are not using while holding the shift key.

6) Right clicking on something usually gives you more options on what you can do with it! Such as modifying power/toughness, adding counters, peeking at a face down card, etc. Right click on the play area gives you some useful options as well.

7) Left Clicking on one of the mana circles increases the number in it by 1. Right clicking decreases it by 1. This is useful to keep track of your mana if you are executing a long, complicated combo.

8) Read the help or pm me with more questions.
