MAGE - Magic, Another Game Engine
MAGE allows you to play magic against one or more online players or computer opponents. It includes full rules enforcement for about 8,000 unique cards (13,715 in all). 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 MAGE 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 MAGE forum here.
