This has come a long way and is highly polished by now. The functionality exceeds cockatrice by far, as far as I understand even matchmaking is possible (or in progress of being added) and the deck editor is great.

Cons would be the .net 4 requirement and the need to download and include the setfiles/pics manually.

Hopefully this will keep the online HL alive.

Cockatrice still works, you need to enter play.woogerworks.com as the chosen host.

The program itself is probably better than cockatrice, though.

I test OCTGN right now, it feels much more better.
But one big disadvantage is you can't rejoin a disconnected gamestate... or anyone can disprove that?

Sorry, not supported as of yet.

17:51:02 < pyyhttu> Hi guys. Tried the client again after a hiatus and I like what I see so far.
17:51:30 < pyyhttu> One question: Does the client support the rejoin after a severed network connection?
17:51:52 < pyyhttu> (So that the game state is able to continue from where it left?)
17:52:10 < db0_at_work> @pyyhttu nope
17:52:52 < pyyhttu> db0_at_work: Ok, thanks. I didn't take a look at the issue tracker yet, but do you know if this has been requested by
                    people?
17:53:14 < db0_at_work> it has
17:56:42 < pyyhttu> Yeah, found now. https://github.com/kellyelton/OCTGN/issues/43
17:56:45 < pyyhttu> OK, thanks.

I would recommend sticking with cockatrice for the time being and their alternative servers.
