keviny1:
Hey everyone, so the other day one of my friends asked me to get a few people to play some magic, but we are all so busy to find time to actually get together and play. So I was just wondering if anybody here played the online one and is it worth the money? Thanks

kitamesume:
why? theres called "free" all over the net.

blubart:
playing online is quite different from playing irl - you have a lot less information about what your opponent is going to do and interactions, especially on the stack, are slightly harder due to the limited communication channel.

i personally wouldn't shell out money for the online version as the social aspect of magic is diminished online and the free alternatives are nearly as good as the paid ones.

if you just want to play with your friends or some random guy a few games once a while i suggest downloading Cockatrice - easy to use, free and there are 50-150 games running at any time of the day.

ant900:
There are several online variants that you could play.  Obviously there is MODO, but that costs money.  Is it worth the money? Sure: It has rules enforcement, constant tournaments, and a huge player base. However only really if you don't plan on playing too much irl.

Besides that there is Cockatrice, OCTGN, Apprentice, Lacky CCG, Mindless Automation (works on mac iirc), and MWS (used at Magic-League).  There are several more, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Soryon:
I have never played online but me and my friends still play real-life games every Sunday, normally.

I started the game around 3rd edition and had a whole bunch of alpha and beta at one point, including the Black Lotus and the Moxes. I sold a lot of my good cards years ago, but I picked up a bunch of new stuff recently when we started playing again.
