Just a thought, but could ya'll make the game run fulls screen on a MAC OS, it always runs in a window and can't be maximized to full screen, what gives?
I'm running 10.14.6 on MacBook pro 15" retina, but others i know with macs have the same issue.

Wizards....fail again. What is going on? Why do users need to go to github fixes on the command line? Thanks a million @Winds_Fury#75802. It's been 4 months and they still haven't fixed it lol

Same problem. MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) Also I have to use EGS. Bigger of the two problems imo.

The problem is the retina display has a very high resolution but pretends to have a much lower resolution such that graphics are not miniaturized. This confuses some programs. Since there is no native way to tell the mac to stop this there is not really a nice solution other to wait for the developers to fix it.
But if you need to have it in fullscreen you can download the software RDM for free, its a small tool that gives you direct access to your display resolution. You can then select a 16:9 resolution in RDM and the fullscreen option will be available immediately in mtga. The nice thing is that you can then turn back to the retina resolution and not use RDM again since mtga will now always start in fullscreen. -

Suggested fix of connecting with HDMI causes mouse input to not work on new MBA. Need solution from WOTC.

I FIXED IT connecting MBP to a TV with HDMI cable (duplicating screen, not as an additional screen).
Open MTGA, select "Full screen" (now available) and the highest resolution (3840 x 2160 in my case). Close MTGA and unplug HDMI. Now every time I open MTGA comes full screen!!!

Desktop Mac was allowing full screen before 05/07/20. Now I can’t enter full screen. Please fix.

Big issue please fix --practically unusable for most Mac users in this state.
Options screen says that fullscreen isn't supported on 16:9 resolutions for any resolution setting.

I've discovered another side effect of this situation. If I move the mouse to click a card at the bottom of the window, and there is space outside the window at the bottom of the screen, it is very easy to click outside the window accidentally. This causes MTGA to lose focus, which is very disruptive during the middle of a game!
As a workaround, I try to drag my window so it lines up with the bottom of the screen. That helps, but I'd prefer to be able to go full screen by default, so I don't have to fuss around with it!

I am having the same problem. In addition to the cards being difficult to read because they're small, parts of the cards get cut off, which affects gameplay.

Will there be a solution? Has there been any comment from wizards about this issue yet?

Exact same problem too.

Experiencing the same issue. MTGA window is so small (less than 1/4 of total available screen space) that I can't even read some of the card text. Using a 2019 MacBook Air.
