Magic Another Game Engine

XMage - Magic, Another Game Engine

XMage allows you to play magic against one or more online players or computer opponents. It includes full rules enforcement for over 8,500 unique cards (15,481 counting all cards from different editions). Starting with Eventide, all regular sets have nearly all the cards implemented (see here in detail which cards are implemented).

There are public servers where you can play XMage against other players. Apart from this, you can also host your own server to play against the AI and/or your friends.

You can visit the XMage forum here.
