I recently found this amazing free online magic program that has every card, like, we got besieged about a week before its release. Its called cockatrice and its kind of low profile, but there are a decent amount of people on it. I would love to play some of you guys in like EDH or something like that sometime so you guys should check it out, heres a link

except MWS is cards made over the internet... this is only cards that were made through the actual company, which is wizards of the coast i think? Im not sure about that, either way its REAL cards and not ones made through the interwebs, you should at least try it out though, it is pretty fun if you get the right people, some people though I will admit, just kinda ruin the game, and make you wish you weren't part of that game >_<

I might get MWS for its singleplayer but I really enjoy cockatrice for its multiplayer

i like cockatrice for its pictures... you don't need to download huge files to see the pictures... but it takes some time to view the pictures that makes it slow...

i will also test cockatrice for bugs... if it has less bugs and performs better than MWS then i will use cockatrice but other than that i still like MWS...

In terms of gameplay, there isn't alot of difference, alot of the shortcuts are the same.   Frankly there was not alot to switch me over fully.  i personally prefer MWS because of the greater variety of options, for example I like being able to have a variety of tokens available to me at the push of a button.  Though I will admit I really like the multiplayer.

In terms of deck building, cockatrice can't hold a candle to mws.  The ease in the building as well as the options available to assist in building such as mana and cmc breakdown make it so much greater.

All in all, cockatrice isn't bad,  though I don't like the small graphics when looking at your library, though their might be a way to make it larger, but in the end i still prefer mws.  though I will be using cockatrice to build and test decks for multiplayer

I use trade cards online.  Not sure if anyone else does, and it is also helpful to keep track of the cards I have and the cards I want.  Just about everyone who plays is Spanish though . . .
Not the best interface, but it works (cheating is kinda easy though)
