Has anyone gotten MTGO to work on a Mac? My next semester has promptly screwed me out of most terms of paper Magic tournaments so I figured I would give MTGO a try.
I saw an app called WinOnX that allows you to use Windows applications on a Mac so I figured this would work, but after installing MTGO is crashes every time I attempt to open in.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

You could install Windows through Boot Camp, enabling you to dual boot into Windows or OS X.
Pros:
Install is quick and easy
MTGO works
Cons:
Need a copy of Windows
Runs pretty slowly, though I haven't tried it with more RAM yet.
For some reason, my computer always defaults to boot in Windows. Even though Mac is set as the default.
Edit: I should mention, I am running Vista because that is what I had lying around. I'm sure XP or Windows 7 would run better.

There's no way to cheat playing MTGO without having a full Windows OS install.
That leaves two options:
1) Dual boot
2) Emulator/Virtual Machine
I prefer the 2nd option since it allows you to stay in OSX. Both require you to have the full OS software available however, so pick your poison.
