I play on Cockatrice some but haven't used Untap.in as of yet. So my question is to those of you who have experience with both programs:
Which program do you prefer and why? What are the pros and cons of each program?

Another benefit to untap.in is that you dont need to install it on every computer you want to play it on. It is fairly new so the program isn't as well developed as cockatrice and there are as many players but it is incredibly easy to make an account and its pretty convenient.

untap.in is beta, so it does have problems. I used to use it but i like others run into the problem of not actually being able to play since the game won't load for me.

Major disadvantage of untap.in for me is that there are a large number of formats that simply never happen on there. Basically, you have to do standard or modern if you want someone to play with. Maybe EDH.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with Cockatrice's set downloads. I admit I am not a very "techy" person and even though I believe I have followed each step to update the sets it doesn't seem to update. I'm sure it user error but wish it was a little easier.
I made an Untap.in account but just didn't have time to really look around and try it out yet hence why I was wondering everyone's opinions.

The most obvious benefit of Untap.in I've seen so far has been that it automatically adds new sets. Downloading and installing each new set with Cockatrice becomes a pain after awhile; downloads in general are the downside of Cockatrice. Although, Untap.in still has a small community and IMO a less comprehensive deckbuilder (it's just cardlists)
