I used to play on Apprentice a whole lot; there were some popular IRC leagues whose weekly scheduled tournaments would routinely attract over one hundred players. Unfortunately, Apprentice proved incompatible with some newly released cards and there were various programs, most notably Backwash, that allowed players to cheat. After the release of Magic Online, the best players migrated there, and the IRC leagues became much less popular. I used to play on Magic Online until I gave it up as too expensive.

I frequented e-leauge for a while, forgot the irc channel it was in. I didn't know apprentice had those issues. Magic Workstation is much more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly, but I don't know if it's robust against cheating and quirky cards

AFAIK, Workstation hasn't been cracked yet, and the specific cards that were incompatible with Apprentice (the Wish cycle from the Judgment set) work in Magic Workstation.
