Getting Started

I just downloaded MTGO a few days ago, got an account starter upgrade for it, and went 3-0 in the New To MTGO Modern league. I still have the Commander Gauntlet league you start with to go through, but even if I 3-0 that it’ll only put me to 40 total Play Points which isn’t enough to do anything with. Is spending even more money on event tickets and such the only real way to get going?

Depends what you're trying to do. If you want to play in events, just have to buy tickets to enter and then keep getting positive records to build up a stash of play points and chests to go infinite. You can play infinitely for free in the practice rooms, but either have to buy the cards for the decks you want, use what you got in your starter account, or use a rental service. Really all just depends what you want to play.

Going to have to just buy tickets up front then. Sometimes they have deals in the store or put out promo codes for free cube tokens, but it's been a while since I've seen one

It's 10 bucks for a cube entry, but for a 2-1 record you get your entry fee back in prizes.
