How long does it take to play a game on MTG Arena?
5 minutes, if you're playing mono-red aggro and steamrolling. Hour-long, if it's a control vs. control matchup where both players love watching paint dry.

Honestly, if you're up against someone who takes forever to decide their every move, it might feel like an eternity. But generally, 15-30 minutes should do it for most matches.
Depends on the format and how fast both players are. A quick Bo1 (Best of 1) match can wrap up in 5-10 minutes. But if you're diving into something more complex, like a Bo3 (Best of 3), settle in for potentially 20-45 minutes of strategic gameplay. Of course, that's if both players are making decisions at a reasonable pace!
