What works
Launching the game and downloading updates.
What does not
Installer gets stuck at "Configuring MTGA Launcher" and does nothing, so the game can't be installed with Wine.
I did copy installed game over from Windows partition and managed to launch it but logging into the server does not work and it's not possible to actually play.
Workarounds
Copying files from Windows allows to work around non-working installer.
What was not tested
Actual gameplay and anything that requires being connected to the server.
Hardware tested

Make sure you use a wine version > 5.9. Prior versions suffer from a bug that causes the client to constantly crash when downloading the initial assets (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_b...). This has been fixed in wine versions > 5.9.
Other wine versions with known issues for MTGA:
After you moved your mouse outside the client or switched to a different virtual desktop, MTGA will not regain focus if you get back to the application.
To fix this focus issue you can add a registry key by running:
wine reg ADD 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver' /v UseTakeFocus /d 'N' /f
