Since Untap is still down, are there any other site/apps like it?

I didn't know that existed, which is why I posted asking...

But Mage is, essentially, a full MTGO client, which enables drafting any format - including all cubes - where you'll always find someone to play any given format. Downloading 20.000 card images for that to run is not unheard of. In addition, you don't actually need to download the images, if you're fine with playing with placeholder card shapes that have names and mana cost on them and reveal details on hover.

JohnnyBaggins When you can only play online at school, and the school computers block you from downloading anything to the account the school gave you, and stops Java from working for you, you kind of either need a place like UnTap to play the game or need to find something else to do with your time bored in class.

Serra_Sentinel You're supposed to pay attention in class. You'll fail your finals.

Anyone could say that. A teacher's assistant should have admin rights, you spolit brat!

Believe me, I love xMage, I would play it if I could. However, here at school, that is not the case. Maybe after my next paycheck I can afford a laptop of my own to play online when I'm at home, but that's beside the point. I don't have admin rights over any of the computers here nor the passwords to change any of the settings. Honestly, I'm surprised this site isn't blocked for "Games Content."

I'm actually getting used to XMage in light of Untap's DDOS issues. It's kind of a pain to deal with all the steps of a turn every time, but I suppose good for mastering it all much like MTGO.

logansullivan You're likely extracting it after download. You just need to have Java installed and open the file with Java Runtime and not Winrar or Winzip.

Untap has possibly resolved the issue for the moment. We will hopefully be back online within the next 3-6 hours.

I still have no idea why anybody uses Untap when Mage exists.
