No, this isn't about the card Cockatrice . I just found a free MTG online program called Cockatrice, and was wondering if anyone else here plays it. The graphics leave a bit to be desired since they don't show the card art, but hey, it's a free program and you don't need to pay for any of the virtual cards. I haven't figured out whether or not there's a friend system on there, but my account name is the same there as here, so if you see me, give me a shout! The program can be downloaded at: http://www.cockatrice.de/ and here is a guide to installing and using it: http://www.eternal-central.com/?p=1115.

This should have been posted in the forums, not in Q&A.

On a different note, it looks like there is a Mac download.

Thankee for moving it to the general forum, I should have put it there instead. And glad you're trying it out Keith, hope to see you on there =D.

I'm on there now. It has a learning curve, but it's definitely nice. It allows you to test whatever deck you want without paying (like MTGO or MWS).

Yeah, it takes some getting used to, but the people I've played with so far are happy to explain how to do the most important stuff.

I play all the time on Cockatrice. It's an incredible way to test the decks you're building without actually putting them together. Plus, you can take suggestions from people on here, test it out on Cockatrice and add them in accordingly.

If anyone has any questions about Cockatrice and you see me on, ask away. My username is BigEmoBob.
