Looks like there's a shake-up from the (frankly) godawful MWS in the works. Goody. I'll have to try this out and (hopefully) add it to the useful links thread when I have a chance...
If anyone needs anything changing regarding references to MWS, let me know.
Can anyone possibly pm me instructions on how to get it up and running for Mac? I can't figure it out for the life of me...
I pm'ed you, hopefully it was somewhat helpful.
Anyways, I'm thinking sometime tomorrow I might try to start a help thread on the cockatrice forum (and possibly on here in the tech forum somewhere?) and try to make a somewhat comprehensive guide to getting it going on mac, and possibly even download it on windows and figure that one out to. I think it would be nice since the cockatrice forums pretty much lacked any useful information whatsoever when I was trying to figure it out earlier.
Okay I have never really played on MWS as it was such a hassle. This seems much nicer. If someone gets time could they post a FAQ for getting started?
Also I can't seem to save my deck the server, It asks for a name then just does nothing when I hit enter. Any ideas?
don't save to the server. I don't even know what the purpose of that is honestly, but when you save it should just go straight to your decks folder and then you go "load local deck" when playing online.

Ahh thanks, so another few noob questions:
Is there a way to look at the cards closer, so that you can say read them? It seems to be too small otherwise.
Also how small is it for a multiplayer game, seems like you would not be able to see much?
Do people generally use vent or skype when playing?

Question : How do you handle making it actual EDH and not just 100 card highlander? Just make a 99 card deck, make a token card when you have the mana and use the honor system / a token counter on the side for number of deaths? I can't see how to make it work with just making the 100 card edh deck.
Just put the General in the sideboard like on MWS. that's all I do. As for keeping track of deaths, well that may just fall to the individual and their "honor system" as you put it. But I am liking the look of this program, once I work up the motivation to actually put all my decks into it, maybe I'll give it a more thorough run-through.

I vaguely recall seeing something about being able to zoom on the cards but I haven't figured it out yet. Whenever you hover over a card it shows up on the top right and its text shows up in the white box so you don't really need to be able to see all of them.
And from what I've seen the multiplayer isn't all that bad. The battlefield expands as you play more cards, but as long as you attach your lands to each other to save some space it's not that bad.
Also, I can't figure out how to put cards into the sideboard, any help?
what am i suppose to put in path to card database?

i don't need the back of the card. i need the path to the card database. whenever i leave it blank or have a link to something, it says your card database is invalid.

Seem like a good idea?

Random disconnect... sorry about that.
I had a combo all ready to go next turn, too.

I comboed out instead with a 30 minute turn, you got lucky you left.
What was your combo on 5 lands?
Some points:
GUI is way too small on a big board. The programmer really needs to get card overlapping working!!!
Otherwise lovely.
First turn:
Gilded Lotus, Aura of Silence
Second Turn:
Opalescence, Parallax Wave - All of your creatures are permanently exiled, and thanks to solemn simulacrum i pull all the basics from my deck.
Third Turn: Idyllic Tutor for Parallax Tide - Exile all of your lands, i have infinite mana.
