What it shows
What the overlay shows
The overlay is two panels over the game window, in Arena and in Magic Online.
- My panel shows the cards left in your library, the chance to draw each one and a Lands row.
- The opponent's panel shows the cards they have played or revealed, and how many copies you have seen.
- Lands list (new in 2.3): move the mouse over the «Lands» row of My panel and a list opens with each land you have left, its copies out of the total and the chance of drawing it next. It works in Arena and in Magic Online. It is on by default and you can switch it in Settings › Overlay › What to show › My panel.
What it doesn't do
Public information only
- The overlay only shows public information or what can be worked out from what has been played, never hidden information.
- It is optional. ManaLab doesn't modify Arena or Magic Online, doesn't read their memory and doesn't connect to their servers.
Magic Online
The overlay in Magic Online
- The overlay shows the cards left in your deck and the ones your opponent has shown, over Magic Online.
- When the log has table lines, ManaLab works out your hand and your library and shows their probabilities. When it has none, the overlay shows less: only the deck list, with copies left and total copies, and no hand, no library count and no draw chance. It never shows made-up numbers.
- Magic Online doesn't give your sideboarded list in time, so ManaLab asks you to confirm your changes between games with one click. Until you do, the overlay shows «Unconfirmed list» and the chances of drawing each card are approximate (marked ≈).
How to turn it on
How to turn the overlay on
- The overlay is on by default: «Show the overlay» in Settings › Overlay. «Try it over Arena» shows it for 10 seconds.
- It appears while the game is the active window, in windowed or borderless mode (not in exclusive full screen). If the Dashboard says «Window not detected», open the game in windowed or borderless mode.
- In Settings › Overlay you can also set the layout (full, compact or minimalist), the colors (with a colorblind palette) and high contrast; its size, opacity and position; when it is shown (always, or only when the mouse is over a zone); and what to show in each panel, with a switch for every element.
- In Arena, «Detailed Logs» must be on; without it ManaLab cannot read your Arena matches. How to turn it on, step by step →
