Wineskin wrapper for Mac. I have installed the Wineskin and unzipped it and try to use 'Choose Setup Executable,' and then it needs me to choose a program to install it, and I don't have/can't find one. No new executables found! Maybe the installer failed.? If you tried to install somewhere other than C: drive (drivec in the wrapper.

Your mileage may vary
Necessary Files:
Prerequisites:
OSX version must be greater than 10.8
Steps:
- Unzip the Wineskin in a folder besides the /Applications/ folder
- Drag the Wineskin to the /Applications/ folder. Yes, this is necessary.
- Right click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select 'Open.'
- If you are on High Sierra or greater, afterwards select 'Screen Options' and uncheck 'Auto detect GPU Info.'
- Click 'Install Software.'
- Click 'Choose Setup Executable.'
- Navigate to and select 'MTGAInstaller.exe.'
- The text for the setup program is broken for some reason. Select the bottom right rectangle.
- Select the big green button, 'Accept and Install'.
- Wait for the program to install. Ignore any warnings about 'Path not found.'
- Click 'Finish.'
- Sometimes the window won't close. In that case, force quit it by option secondary-clicking the ARENA icon in the taskbar. Not the wineskin.
- A 'Choose Executable' window should appear. Select 'MTGA.exe,' NOT 'MtgaLauncher.exe.'
- Click 'Quit' and open the Wineskin wrapper once more.
- Congrats! You can now run MTG Arena on OSX!
FAQ:
How do I update the client?
Unfortunately, it seems that self-updating is broken in Wine. A fresh reinstall with a brand new Wineskin should fix the problem.
Oops! No new executables found!
Try unzipping the MTGArena.zip in a folder besides /Applications/, then manually dragging the MTGArena.app to /Applications/
Some error about DirectX 11?
Your Mac doesn't support OpenGL 4. See here to check your Mac's specs.
Why can't I download a pre-installed MTG Wineskin?
I'm not entirely sure of the legality of uploading a copy of Arena onto the internet to share with other people.
Why do I need to download the custom Wineskin wrapper?
The default Wineskin wrapper engines only provide Wine 2.X, and Wine 3.X is necessary for MTG Arena to run.
Alt-tabbing in windowed mode is broken!
Try dragging the window around a bit. That should fix it.
The game keeps crashing!
:(
EDIT
Added fix for High Sierra (thanks /u/keithhannen!)

So I've just downloaded wineskin on my MacBook Air, it's a Mojave 10.14. It actually runs until I click Test Run, then it says 'Do you wish to view the Test Run Logs?'; when I click yes or whatever it brings me to a textedit file, when I click no it doesn't do anything. I've tried to run three CDs so far, and I've downloaded Wineskin twice.
Not sure if it matters, but the CDs I've tried to run are compatible with:
- Windows 98 and Macintosh
- Windows 95/98/2000
- Windows 3.1/95
Thank you in advance!... also if you could please use uhm, 'normal' terms in your answer lol, because I'm a TOTAL noob. I'm actually surprised I went so far in the installation process.
