Argentum — an open-source Magic: The Gathering client

Hey all — I've been working on a MTG engine / client and figured this crowd might actually enjoy it: magic.wingedsheep.com. No download, no account needed, just open it and go.

Some stuff you can do right now:

- Draft a real booster draft with friends: Spin up a lobby for up to 8, crack packs, pass, and build your deck — then jump straight into games with the pool you drafted.
- Rules engine: The rules are properly implemented — the stack, priority, combat, triggers, the layer system, state-based actions — so it plays like real Magic, not a simplified version. You just make plays and it handles the fiddly rules bits for you.
- Play with friends with an invite link, or play against an AI if no one's around.
- Sealed and custom decks too, if drafting's not your thing.

It's a passion project and still very much a work in progress, so it won't have every card yet — but a good chunk of recent Standard sets are already in, plus some older ones going back a fair way, so there's plenty to play with. I'm adding more cards and sets all the time. It's open source too, so if you're into that side of things the code's on GitHub.

Would genuinely love for people to try it and tell me what feels off — bugs, cards behaving weird, whatever. There's a Discord for that too.

3.0.1 update in a constant cycle of asking to update

Whenever I boot Cockatrice I'm always greeted by the update available pop up. I click yes to update and it looks as if its updating and then restarts but then the pop up shows up again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
