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.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
It plays really well, I use it for running quick checks and multi-player for playtests.
Then again, I am a mac-geek :3.
Suddenly! Pints of beer! Thousands of th~ ... Nope. Never mind.
Huh, the tilting tables and zooming in thing is pretty neato, but Nihil was right, that deckbuilding interface is fuck ugly.

People used to use LackeyCCG for Raw Deal, I never liked it - too amateurish.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

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 Source: Your Source for "The Source: Your Source for..." cliche.
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.

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.
You might check out GO (Gathering Online) there:

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.

Always looking for sealed product!
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.
hey guys,
i have just joined.
sounds good to me!!!!!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled MWS 4 times now, and it still can't find any recent cards when I try to run decks with them.
I'd still rather use MWS.
MWS shuffler is just the standard computer attempt at random, which is so close to actually being random that you would never be able to tell the difference unless someone told you there was one. If you want a "better shuffler" that either means you want a shuffler that helps you cheat, or it means you don't understand how MWS shuffles and how statistics work.
Open source won't work because people will abuse it to cheat or be dicks and ruin it for everyone. Once a program goes open source forget about it ever being usable.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.

That's why this forum uses an open source operating system, http daemon and structured query language database, right?
