Seeking Communities or Platforms Similar to Manalink With Fu

[overtcynicis]

Hello!

I’m relatively new to Magic: The Gathering and am looking for platforms that allow full gameplay (not just deck testing) and include the latest cards. I used Manalink before, but due to forum issues, I can’t use it anymore.

Does anyone here know of active platforms or communities that:

Support actual games (versus just simulators)

Update with new sets

Allow custom or community-added cards (optional bonus)

I’ve heard of MTG Arena, Xmage, and Cockatrice, but am unsure about how each handles new sets or custom cards. If anyone has experience with these (or others), I’d love to hear your thoughts. Which ones are the most stable, user-friendly, and good for multiplayer?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
