mtga-update - update MTGA inside a Wine prefix
Usage:
mtga-update # update if newer version is available
mtga-update --force # reinstall current version
Environment:
WINEPREFIX Wine prefix containing MTGA (default: \$HOME/.wine)
WINE_BIN Wine binary to use (default: wine)
This tool fetches the latest full installer from Wizards of the Coast
and installs it via 'wine msiexec', bypassing MTGALauncher.exe which
crashes under Wine when scanning the Z: drive.
The game is expected at:
\$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/Wizards of the Coast/MTGA/MTGA.exe
