How do I get into Magic the Gathering? I've loved it since I was a kid, but because of a lack of people to play with, I was never able to really play the game. There aren't any local hobby shops where I live, and I don't want to drop tons of cash on cards.
Are there any PC games that offer a huge library and a friendly multiplayer community? I've tried Duels of the Planeswalkers and its card selection felt too limited. I also seem to remember a free program that had a huge selection of decks, but its interface was clunky and no one spoke English, or they were all dicks. I'd try MTG Online but I think you have to pay real world money for packs.
It'd be cool if there was something like MTG online, but for free.

Try Forge, Cockatrice, XMage, LackeyCCG, or some similar program.

I personally enjoy mtg duels on steam, mostly due to the gui, but the other anon lists good shit too
My vote would go to xmage
online magic sucks

If y'all were planeswalkers, what colors would you want to be and how would you fuck everything up?

White, with Angelic wrath.

Magarena is my go-to, but it's not multiplayer and the AI makes some... questionable choices sometimes.
Cockatrice is the best option for on-line multiplayer, or Origins, though I personally wasn't too fond of the latter.

Blue. Time to test what mind-altering magic can do to the populations of assorted planes!

U/B, by trying to be l33t Dimir, then quickly realizing that The Things That Should Not Be are also the Things That should Not Be fucked with when I try to tell them what to do.

Violating the most basic of human rights doesn't seem so bad when you get to laugh at a bunch of people yelling at babies to get a passport.

URG. I like the "elements united" theme. There's also a nice mix of card draw, random effects, and Timmy damage.
Plus I'd get to have all kinds of animal friends.

Either Green or White, or probably even a mix, and I'd run around letting the power go to my head and try to ''fix'' societies that I considered injust all on my lonesome, until I got in too deep and people got hurt because I was being a self-important idiot, throwing me into a depression spiral so deep that I planeswalk way to someplace far away where I'll live in anonymity and obscurity for the rest of my days, haunted by my failures as a person.
