If you don't know how to play, you're better off not trying.

Right now, I only have Apprentice, though. I'll try and DL MWS as well.

I know how to play and used to play in tournaments (a loooong time ago) but I never used the online one before, only the real cards, is Apprentice the one where you actually have to buy the booster packs with real money or not? If there's no money involved then I'd be happy to play a few rounds, it's been years since I last had a decent game.
There's no money involved in either program, it's 100% free.
Magic WorkStation supports the download of the actual card images, thus replicating the 'feel' much better, but Apprentice is slimmer, weighing in at less than 1MB as opposed to MWS's 9.5MB.
Lemme know if and when you DL either. Also, familiarize yourself with the new cards and banned lists. Things changed a lot in the last few years.

Yah, that was pretty much why I quite as well, it got too tiring spending all that money to build up a deck and then finally get my deck all set up and then be unabel to use it and have to start all over again, man I really hated that. Question about how the online version works though, how do you get new cards? Is there a sort of 'point system' used in place of money to buy booster packs or what?
In the programs I have linked, there's no limit with cards - you can use anything from Alpha to today. So you can build any and all decks you want, pretty much.
in the actual Magic Online, you need to actually buy cards, and they aren't even RL cards, so I say fuck that. The programs I suggested > it.
I still only have apprentice, tho.

Damn...like I don't have enough things I need to divert my attention to and play *bites lip* I used to be a huge Magic fan; got several detentions once for playing it in class instead of paying attention to the teacher. Just got tired of it when they started changing the rules with every new expansion. Ended up spending more time arguing about whether or not you could use a certain card or do this or that thing than we did actually playing. I still have a few decks sitting around somewhere though.
Hell, if I get bored my next day off I might just get Apprentice; let you know if I do GH.

i haven't played actively for a while, the last time was at the dissention pre-release. I'm moving from my crappy small town to a much larger city soon, so I will likely start playing heavily again. I haven't tried apprentice yet, I heard it is good, tho.
also, the new set coldsnap is awesome just for it's retro appeal. snow-covered lands again after all this time? awesome.
dang, this makes me want to crank out a "Ranma in Dominiara" fic. what do you think? would he be a benalish hero? I can see kasumi as the samite healer, akane as a keldon warlord, nabiki would be the prodigal sorceror, ryoga something green and stompy, happi could lead some very perverse phyrexians, it could be sweet.
