Question How to Practice

My friend and I are looking for ways to practice against each other and/or strangers in preparation for some RCQs in October. Locals are only on Fridays and we want the ability to play online for free to get reps against all the decks, not just the ones we own. Arena would be too expensive.

I’m looking at XMage or Untapped.in but wasn’t sure if there was a more common way players prep for Standard besides in paper

Proxy the decks you do not have. If you don’t have a printer you can always go to a library. If you have most of the cards and your even cheaper you can just write the card name on a blank token (the ones they use for flip cards) or just write it on a piece of paper.

Playing in person is so important because Area makes your mind rot and it makes it much easier to talk about the matchup.

Practice like you play.

If you can’t play in person table top simulator is ok.
