Yes, you can use USB game controllers with MTG Arena, but it's not officially supported. What you need to do is use a third-party software that maps your controller's buttons to keyboard and mouse commands. There are a few good ones out there like JoyToKey or Xpadder. Keep in mind, since it's not officially supported, your mileage may vary on how well this works. But, hey, if you wanna lean back and play MTG Arena with a controller, give it a shot!

Uh, why would you? MTG Arena's setup is perfect for mouse and keyboard. Using a controller sounds like making it harder on yourself for no reason. Just stick to the classics.

I've been using a controller for MTG Arena for months now! It's great for casual play, especially if you're streaming and want to lean back. Just set up the key mapping once, and you're good to go. Makes grinding through matches a bit more relaxed.
