It's a 1v1 game. If you're playing against a bot, it's definitionally not multiplayer.

You can already play against Sparky (a bot) whenever you want -- no tutorial needed. The option is literally "Bot Match" under "Play".

This question frankly makes no sense at all.

@marvingardens Respectfully... have you played any multiplayer game from the past decade besides MTG Arena? They're rife with multiplayer bots now. Fortnite multiplayer has fake bots disguised as players, as does Halo Infinite, as did the most recent Battlefield, Splitgate and its sequel, etc.

Worst of all, Fortnite goes to great lengths to disguise those bots a real players.

It's an epidemic that's reached every corner of multiplayer games in the past few years - and the only reason it's not in MTG Arena is because the game launched 7 years ago. It's totally well within the realm of possibility that Arena would add them -- just look at the "Did you enjoy this match?" pop-up at the end of games.

Even setting aside any pedantic squabbling of the definition of multiplayer (is Fortnite not multiplayer in your mind?) , this question makes plenty of sense. Sorry you somehow managed to get confused!

@NeurokFamiliar wtf do you mean "add them"? Sparky has been there from day 1.

For the "pedantic squabbling", Fortnite is, what, a fifty player game? If it was you and 49 bots, yeah, that wouldn't be multiplayer. MTGA is a two-player game.

But anyway, leaving aside that "pedantic squabbling" -- which I think is basically one of the most important parts of this website's whole thing -- Sparky is right there. If we gloss past "multiplayer" pedantry, this question resolved to YES the day Arena was launched.
