I use MWS at the moment instead of Appr, mainly because of its central server. You find games like mad. It's like a constant flow of opponents. Very good times.
However, Neoshroom has said that Apprentice 2 may have a similar feature.
How is it that a central server will cause you to find games like mad?
explanation please.
Instead of connecting to an IP, you connect to mwsplay.net. Then a grid pops up which lists a bunch of players playing, or waiting to play, games, along with format descriptions, etc.
You can create a game and call it like, "T2 serious, English only plz", and then wait for responses. Opponents join almost immediately. Then, after an opponent quits, it's usually less than a minute before another opponent joins (without you having to create a new game description!). It's like constant Magic to the dome.
Can someone give me the site to downoad Magic Workstation? thanks alot
Just type in Magic Workstation in a search engine, either Yahoo or Google should bring up the site. People are so lazy... :rolleyes:.

No, unfortunately. I'm currently trying to build a text-based mac program for magic cards with all the mechanics and rules included... slightly daunting.

not to be overly picky, but do you mean "weird" to be "wierd"? I'm just trying to figure out if thats a type or if they're just being wierd by making a creature type thats really wierd because its a misspelled wierd.
I have a much better time working with Magic Workstation then I EVER did with apprentice. I just wish more people would give it a try.
What? A lot of people use MWS.
A lot of people probably just use Apprentice though cos' its the easier version. (If you did not know, MWS is much more advanced, and not for beginners, Apprentice is.)
Well, I've had MWS for a year, so willing to play if you wanna.
(well, I play t1.5, ext, and t2, no t1 though)
I don't know if any of you can help me with this little problem that I've been having, but it's completely stumping me...
I received a MWS file from a friend for an online sealed deck competition and the oddest thing happened. The search function seemed limited to those cards in my sealed deck and those cards only (no land). Also, now when I ty to load another deck for MWS, I have to stay restricted to those cards in that one sealed deck... I have no idea how to get back all the cards for other decks or how to add land to this deck... Uh... Help?...
By the way, if you want to see the results and happenings of this competition stop by the limited section and watch as the contest unfolds... [/shameless plug]
MWS kicks apprentice ass.. I have both programs myself and MWS is so ridculsly much better in all aspects. The board is split up, the cards have good tapping and attack indicators, they have targeting arrows, good pase/step system, better interface, better cardmaker... it beats apprentice one every single aspect.. Apprentice is like a retard in comparison..

Just add me on msn if you have any questions or just want to talk
Ug, really if you use MWS, league play is the way to go. MWSPlay is ... well, it tends to be infested with what many people would deem 'scrubs'.
I suggest www.o-gaming.com, but that's just me.
is mws the exact same as apprentice in its not showing pictures ability? becasue currently OCTGN doesnt really exist...but it will own all...till then go to www.cardfloppers.com and check out wahts there....MTGPLAY is still the best till octgn is done

Well, seeing as I have pics for MWS... I'm thinking no?
... lemme link: http://files.mwsdata.com/pics.html
Takes awhile, but I think it's worth it.

False. MWS supports card images, always has.
Also, talking about "potential" card game clients is silly. Every couple months, some group of programmers tries to make a client and, after a while, gives up. I myself am doing a card/board game client for my senior project.
Did you guys pay for MWS or are you still using the free trial? Is it so much better that paying for it is much better then getting the free apprentice?

I just need to clarify something, does Magic workstation cost money? Im a little bit confused and dont want to download it before knowing. I almost get the impression it can or cant. any help here?
Well, MWS is shareware at it's best, meaning you can use the program forever for free. Registering the program will remove the add banner (ok, it is addware if you look strictly), and it will unlock some previously unusable options.
If I make enough blind tries one of these days I'll seem smart, if only just by accident.
