Do Controllers Work in MTG Arena?
Yep, controllers work in MTG Arena, but it's not the most straightforward setup. You'll need to use a third-party app like JoyToKey or Steam's Big Picture mode to map your controller buttons to the game's functions. It's a bit of a workaround, but it definitely makes those long grinding sessions on the couch much more comfortable!

Can confirm, using a controller in MTG Arena with Steam's Big Picture works like a charm! It's my go-to for a chill game night. Just remember to customize your button layout for the best experience.
Honestly, just stick to mouse and keyboard for MTG Arena. Controllers can work, but it feels like trying to eat soup with a fork. Doable, but why?
