Seriously. I can't even play a game on it. I don't like to be harsh, but this is a horrible program. Sure, it looks all nice and plays really well, but there's one huge problem.
IT DISCONNECTS ALL THE FREAKING TIME! I can't even finish one game when I'm gonna win. When I lose, sure, it stays connected, but every time it looks like I might be able to win, it disconnects me. The server, for lack of a better word, SUCKS.
No replies? Geez. I've posted four times with questions and no one will speak up. I also haven't been able to finish more than three games because mostly noobs who disconnect when it goes against them. What's the point?
Thanks to those who stick around, but this is silly.

Pretty much everyone is using the same version that they did 8 years ago... no one's touched it, no one's fixed it, and the connection server they use I think is getting older and worse...

You are probably not receiving many responses because everyone (myself included) migrated over to cockatrice ages ago. Outside of a very small number of tiny preferences, cockatrice is the superior program.

In other news, crazy nitwits playing dress-up have also convicted the Hamburglar, the Cookie Crisp Crook, and the Frito Bandito of sundry snack-related thefts.
Seriously, what about this strikes you as remotely worthy of discussion?

Try Virtual Playtable, it is in active development and has up to date cards database.
virtual Playtable is free only for trial versions, so you need to pay for it, which is actually far from legal. They risk being bashed by Hasbro. Here is my advice, stay with Cockatrice and wait till Lotus gets out.

Casual crazy magic player, otaku maniac, unrully cosplayer, what did you expect me to be?
> virtual Playtable is free only for trial versions,
Online play and basic deck builder features always will be available for free in Virtual Playtable (same as in Magic Workstation), and trial have no time limit.
Also because Cocatrice is open source I think it is possible to make VPT in future compatible by server protocol with Cocatrice for transparent online play with Virtual Playtable <-> Cocatrice.
yea ive had it with MWS, and i recently payed for a license too.
the only reason i did that is because cockatrice does not have alternate art. or rather alot of missing alternate art.
but MWS has a terrible randomizer you have like a 75% chance of getting 4 lands or 1-0 lands in your first hand and a 90% chance of that in your second hand.
and of course the servers and bug crashes. oh god the bug crashes. i downloaded that patch mtgbr has which makes it a bit better but OH GOD THE RANDOMIZER.
for something being random the hands are always ****. i recently played like 20 control deck games and the land screw is just abysmal everytime. even though im playing 20 lands. 4 lands and no lands and floods are always happening.

The MWS servers do have issues from time to time but it's rare. When it works I don't get randomly disconnected. Ever.
There's a few critical bugs, but those are well known and can only occur under very specific circumstances, which are avoidable.
The reason why people use MWS is because it's just rock solid in terms of performance. It does everything that you want to do to play the game (for constructed anyway), and it does it cleanly.
So I have also had it with MWS, and wanted to try Cockatrice, but it looks like Hasbro has shut it down for infringement! I guess its MWS forever for me....

It's no fun when you can't finish a game.

Look at the download file:

I've disconnected from the last 5-6 games before we even get to draw.
Gonna give Cockatrice a try >_<
