I looked into it. Lackey is a software client that allows you to play a slew of collectible card games. It includes MTG.
It has an interface (it appears) similar to MTGO, but it looks quite a bit more rinky dinky (from the screenshot). The upshot is that it's free, and you get access to all the cards.
My issue? It removes the "collectible" and "trading" aspects of the "collectible card game" / "trading card game." If everyone has access to everything, it kind of ruins the game "economy."
It'd be like playing WoW where everyone starts at level 80 with all achievements, has unlimited gold, and has the max crafting abilities (of all crafts) with unlimited materials. Oh, and the auction house would list every item ever created or otherwise made available in the game. Maybe not exactly the same, but you get my point.
Lackey? It's not for me.
