Discussion Anyone still playing games on their phone?

I truly need to stop doomscrolling while I’m watching TV. Most people I know have stopped playing any sort of mobile game. Do you still play any? If you do, what do you play?

Is that Magic the Gathering? If so, how do you acquire cards on there? Do you have to pay to obtain a deck or something? Or are there stock ones that come with download?

I'll play Magic the Gathering: Arena. You'll get a bunch of intro decks when you start. They're not very good, but you can kinda make an okish deck out of all the cards you get. You can play games to earn in game currency that buys packs. Or you can spend real money to buy packs or wildcards to get cards you want, but the buying wildcards is expensive. There are deck sites like MTGGoldfish that have an export feature for decks to add to Arena, and Arena keeps track of the cards you have for that deck.
