MAGE - 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 21,000 unique cards and more than 53,000 reprints from different editions. Starting with Eventide, all regular sets have nearly all the cards implemented (detailed overview).

There are public servers where you can play XMage against other players. You can also host your own server to play against the AI and/or your friends. Local server supports a special test mode for testing combos and other game situations with pre-defined conditions.
