Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have problems seeing any data in MTGA Assistant?
You need to enable the Detailed Logs option in MTGA Arena. You can find it by clicking the Settings icon in the top right corner, then clicking "Account"
to find an option called "Detailed Logs (Plugin Support)". Tick this off and restart MTG Arena.
How do I get the extension to auto-start when I launch Arena?
If you installed without making any changes to Overwolf the app should start automatically when you launch MTG Arena.
Note that Overwolf needs to always be running in the system tray to detect when you start the game, this is why it starts with Windows.
If you find that MTGA Assistant does not start when Overwolf is running and you launch the game check the following: Right-click the Overwolf icon in
your system tray, select Settings and go to the "Games Overlay" section. Here you will see all installed extensions per game, click on MTG Arena and
make sure MTGA Assistant is set to Auto launch.
Does this extension work with the Epic Games version of MTGA?
Yes, it does. MTGA through Epic games is creates another MTGA install and can side by side the normal MTG Arena client. But the logs on both are
written to the same folder.
Where can I see your Privacy policy?

Where the MTGA log file you read?
The path varies depending on your username but you can use this universal path to get to the log file:
%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Wizards Of The Coast\MTGA
The log file we read is called: output_log.txt
How to disable ads?
We appreciate you using MTGA Assistant and serve ads to help fund our services and make them free for everyone.
By keeping the ads away and as low-key as possible and place them in zones where they are not in the way.
Currently, we are working on an option to embed AetherHub accounts into MTGA Assistant and remove ads for users with a
Premium account.
Does this extension and Overwolf use a lot of resources?
The measured performance is low but there are several factors here too, enabling extended logging in MTG Arena outputs a lot of text to a log file all
the time. This log file has to be read in realtime constantly for the engine to track everything. Then the data has to be parsed by the extension who
runs on top of the Overwolf application. Slower and older systems that already has trouble running the game will definitely not run any smoother,
but the system resources used in Windows are low. If you experience slowdowns on a system you feel should run smoothly you should report this
as a bug to Overwolf.
