Apprentice is a graphical-tabletop based freeware program that allows one to play Magic: The Gathering against another player over the Internet. The program contains a working database of every Magic card ever created as well as a means to keep track of all the information required to conduct a full game. With it, one could construct any deck type, limited only by one's imagination. Effectively this means your next magic duel may not be against your next door neighbor, but rather against someone halfway around the world. That is the goal -- to break the boundaries. Apprentice requires Windows 95, 98, or NT. Development of a Macintosh version will begin as soon as we find a Mac.
