Arena is great for noobs, but if you want to emulate the actual card game go with mtgo.
Maybe you could do arena to learn the basics and play for free, but it doesn't hold a candle to the actual card game or mtgo.
MTG is normally 3 rounds with a 15 card sideboard, so you can bring in cards to deal with your opponents deck, on mtga you just play one game.
There is no chatting on mtga, there is no trading on mtga, and any money you spend on mtga is gone for good.
MTGO you can trade, chat, have a friends list, buy specific cards etc . . but it costs a lot more, but you can actually sell your tickets to a card site and get some money back if you ever wanted to. So mtgo is also an investment as well as a game.
MTGO has a market where prices of cards go up and down, like crypto's or the stock market, so that is another element to mtgo.
TLDR; for casual / budget players and noobs probably go mtga. If you want to play the more competitive scene go with mtgo.
What are you talking about?
There's bo3 and sideboards in mtga. I'd like a chat function and trade function. Wildcards are great but I often run out trying out different things and would like the option to be able to trade.
I'm fairly certain they will implement chat, friends lists and other things. It's in a beta state.
Have you even played mtga past the intro games and quick play?
