What's this? LackeyCCG?

[Cabal-kun]

I saw this on the Magic Software board on MtGSal. I have not looked at it myself, but I was curious as to what the chance that this may replace Workstation might be.

Seems promising, I'm gonna try it one of these days.

Multiplayer, OS-X version, and savegames should vastly compensate for the ugly deckbuilding interface.

It plays really well, I use it for running quick checks and multi-player for playtests.

Then again, I am a mac-geek :3.

Huh, the tilting tables and zooming in thing is pretty neato, but Nihil was right, that deckbuilding interface is fuck ugly.

If Apprentice 2 ever gets going again, it has the best shot in my opinion. I liked it a lot three years ago when it had a temporary release, and now it's been open sourced.

People used to use LackeyCCG for Raw Deal, I never liked it - too amateurish.

Ooh, that does look pretty. Any idea when a official build will be released?

I installed Lackey, used it once, and never bothered opening it again. There's really nothing useful that it provides that MWS doesn't (it's not like zooming in is important), and it doesn't help that it has the same name as such a hated/feared/loved card.

The only thing I like about it is that you don't have to download all the scans of every card to have pictures.

Oh, and ditto on the deckbuilding interface.

The only problem I have with MWS is the shuffler so I'd only switch to another program to have a better shuffler, but from my experience LackeyCCG's shuffler is even worse. Also the interface and lack of hotkeys sucks.

It plays pretty well.

It plays pretty well.

I'll have to try it once my time frees up.

OS-X is Mac, right? Maybe this could be a temporary solution to Bardo's loss of MWS.

I've used Lackey, since I have a mac (pre-Intel) and a PC. Compared to MWS, it sucks. Compared to the other programs available for a mac (specifically, none), it is great for deckbuilding and golfishing. There is never anyone else on the network, so the best testing I can do with it is to fire up two copies of Lackey and test two-fisted.

Being able to play multiplayer is really a big plus. Online Rainbow or emperor ftw!

But them, having no information on their website except for a model how the connecting works, really makes me not trying it for a while. Except for the bugs and shitty servers I'm pretty satisfied with MWS.

I would think of no one on the network as being a mixed blessing. On the bad hand, no one is on. That would make it pointless. On the good hand, it means that it isn't filled with MWS dregs (for the moment at least). I'm tempted to install it try it out, but I probably won't have sufficient time for at least a week and a half.
