Magic Workstation
''Magic Workstation'' (or MWS) is a program created by Magi-Soft that assists in playing ''Magic: The Gathering'' and other card games over the Internet and maintains a searchable database of ''Magic'' cards. Users of the free version of the game start with a card set taken from a might and magic mini game. Program Interface The program includes an option for players to create their own themes when playing. Themes typically change the look of the virtual desktop, card borders, text and sometimes avatars. Limited Formats and Tournament Play ''Magic Workstation'' features a built-in sealed deck generator. However, this generator is flawed as players have no way of knowing whether the decks being played were indeed built from the randomly generated cardpool.

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender.
