Being able to play with any cards means that the program allows players to delve into the restrictive Legacy format without suffering the thousands of dollars needed to build the decks. Instead of paying thousands for a Black Lotus, players can search up the card and add it with no barriers. The primary selling point of Cockatrice is the unfettered access it provides to the entire history of Magic: The Gathering's cardbase. Even as WotC is growing its video game development arm, the freedom that Cockatrice provides players will likely keep it popular among the community no matter what new play options are made available. While it isn't exclusively for Magic, much of the simulator's design and fan base focus on the massively popular TCG, with files and downloads to install the entire library of Magic's perpetually growing cardbase on Cockatrice for deckbuilding and games. Despite the success of Wizards of the Coast's first-party online options in Magic: The Gathering Online and Magic: The Gathering Arena (which includes its own unique format, Alchemy), a lot of fans of in-person Magic will point to the unaffiliated card game simulator Cockatrice as the preferred method of online Magic play.Ĭockatrice is an open-source tabletop card game simulator designed to allow players to upload their own card games for online play. Magic: The Gatheringhas remained one of the most popular trading card games in the world since its release in 1993.
