FAQ
Is there a free MTG Arena draft helper?
Yes. Hyde's draft overlay and browser simulator are free, and you do not need an account.
Does the overlay work over fullscreen Arena?
On macOS, the panel and draft-grade badges float over fullscreen games using native non-activating panels. Windows and Linux builds are available for beta validation; their live Arena behavior is not validated yet.
Is there a draft mode in MTG Arena?
Three: Premier Draft, Quick Draft, and Traditional Draft. Hyde reads all of them from the detailed log you enable during setup, and our schedule page tracks which set Quick Draft is currently rotating.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
Desktop logs stay on your machine and the app has no telemetry pipeline or account. The web simulator sends only anonymous aggregate counters for completed drafts, companion clicks, and share actions — no IP, user agent, cookies, or session ID. The desktop app's network calls are public card-data lookups (Scryfall, 17Lands ratings).
