03/05/2010 Update: The Program Recently Recieved A Massive Update That Added Drafting, Shortcuts And Tons of Other Much Requested Functionality. And it's all been packed together into a single easy to download torrent file.
Here is a link to the torrent that includes the latest game definition, all the MTG sets and the game module, packed together and ready to install...
It's been getting updates/improvements for the past five years, and is now fully functional. I have been using it to play for over an year now with my playgroup and it's better than ever, and the community in the chatroom linked to below is larger than ever.
Thanks to feedback from some of you guys (the ones that were constructive), some very talented coders worked on getting keyboard shortcuts included in the game, and the sets can be downloaded in bulk over at the mediafire link below.
It features...
Multiplayer - It supports all multiplayer and most variant formats including as Emperor, Two Headed Dragon, Elder Dragon Highlander, Free For All, Five Color and Mental Magic. The only way to play Emperor Online.
Full Functionality - It supports all the features that other programs support, including tokens, modifiable libraries, modifiable keyboard shortcuts and such.
Fast Clean Interface - It loads in under three seconds!! Easily the fastest softward outthere for this purpose.
Modular - It can support any game you want it to, Blue Moon, WoW etc. It's not strictly restricted to MTG.
Completely Free - No Ads, No Limitations, Completely Free. All the functionality is there for everyone to use.
Frequently Updated/Improved - I checked the blog and it has had three additional features added just in the past two months. The last time Magic Workstation or Apprentice or other competing programs had an update or gained functionality was almost three years ago.

Once again, I'm not involved with creating or helping in anyway with this program, my entire involvement consists of me frequently playing games with this program and reading the blog, so please post your suggestions and feedback at either the developer blog or the octgn.net forum.
The developer is very responsive to questions, suggestions and feature improvements. I'm not involved in anyway with this program. I just use it to play multiplayer rather frequently and like it a lot. I've got a few PMs complimenting me, please instead post your compliments at either the developer blog or the forum...
Ravarshi, sorry about the typo, yes you're right "nothing's better than MTGSalvation"
I meant to wrote that OCTGN 2.0 is better than Magic Workstation (not MTG Salvation) because it has a lot of additional functionality, including multiplayer gaming.
Please PM me if you're interested in testing standard.
Or if I can't play, click this link to find/chat with other OCTGN 2.0 players...

All of the other sets on http://www.mediafire.com/sets are still working perfectly as of seconds ago. Its just the prophecy link that is broken for some reason. It doesn't say mediafire has taken it down, you just click the link and it times out connecting to the server it's located on.
and damn google, is fast, when searching for the prophecy set one of the top links is my post earlier in this thread asking for the prophecy set >< Otherwise, there were no other links to download the prophecy set.

Well since Captain.Hammer failed to post this link in his post after telling me to update mine(:sweat:), Witch I suppose is now defunct(?) This is StarCityGames thread on instalation help and the like.
Image source is Gatherer so the quality isn't fantastic. When higher quality media is available the patch can be amended. Thanks to Mindstab_Thrull whose Excel spreadsheet from another thread was used in creating this patch (after a few spelling corrections ).
Please respond with issues. (BTW, I'm aware of the Basic Lands illustrators not being assigned properly, but I didn't think that was a pressing issue to hold off from sharing.)
I've followed the project since the very beginning (more than 3 years ago) so I have reliable informations and links
The main webpage is www.octgn.net , where you can find info about the program, some troubleshooting and the link to install it. There is also a forum where you can request features and discuss about the existing ones.
There is also a blog maintained by the main developer of the client, where you can find news about it and discuss them.
which is followed by many people and it helped to solve many bugs already.
Finally, there's also an IRC chatroom where you can find other people to play with or ask for informations about the client and other files related to it (sets, game modules etc.). The community is growing slowly, but there are already several people playing happily
You can join irc.ircstorm.net server channel #octgn , or simply click to this link and authomatically join the server from your web browser
Just a few words about the program: Octgn 2 is not a magic based program like MWS, it is modular and it let you play virtually any kind of card/board games (I said board games because you could even create a module to play risk for example if you like to and have the necessary skills ). There are already modules to play magic, WoW, Blue Moon, EVE The Second Genesis, even Dragon Ball card game...
I will not say "this is better than MWS" or things like that, but i think that if you will give it a shot you will be nicely surprised
The program is slowly but continuously updated by the main developer (whose nickname is jods).
It is in alpha status right now because it is still missing basic features like sealed/draft and other must be improved, but right now it is perfectly usable to play constructed games, and as I said it is continuously improved and soon will reach the status of beta.
I hope to have given all the important info about this great program, in case you can find me in the chatroom!

On the Internet you can be anything you want.
It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid...
For me, the dealbreaker for OCTGN is that it has no way to import decks in any fashion. I mean, I'm open to giving new programs a try, but using the built-in clunky interface to rebuild my decks in its proprietary format is too much to ask. Apprentice format is dead simple to interpret; would it be all that hard to make an importer that would allow you to simply use preexisting decks?
That is one of the missing features although someone has already made a primitive online converter that's not really perfect but it's a good starting point
Now i dont have the link, but you can ask in the chatroom

Somehow i dont trust this whole octgm thing. banhammer spammed all big mtg forums with this post and the download is really not trustworthy
i will not try this program unless i see more users speaking about it.
Not gonna lie, this program looks sick. Much better graphics and whatnot than MWS, AND it has multiplayer and EDH capability...
I'm sold. Now I just have to finish fixing .NET so I can install it. -_-
EDIT: Is there any way to download all the sets at once, or at least in groups, or do I have to do each set individually? I've never used Mediafire before, so I'm a bit lost.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
EDIT: Is there any way to download all the sets at once, or at least in groups, or do I have to do each set individually? I've never used Mediafire before, so I'm a bit lost.
Working on this.... Probably there will be "block" files and "core set" files containing 2 blocks (meaning 6 sets per file) and files containing only core sets.
This should mean 13 files to download instead of more than 60
What I want to know is if this program has actually a player base... what use is for it to look good if there's no one to play against?
The player base is rising slowly, but it is rising. If you join the irc chan (using the link i provided or simply connecting to irc.ircstorm.net #octgn) you can already find several people that use octgn2 to play or to test RL decks.

The torrent just has all the gamesets and pictures and such. You also need the OCTGN 2 Program.
You can download the program here...

So it shouldn't be long before they're up.
