People have said the magic words: play test. If MTGO offered a way to playtest decks you have yet to buy, there would be no need for software like this. Using a land that says "JTMS" in sharpie before actually spending cash on the card is common practice in paper Magic. Digital Magic needs something like this, and MWS, 'trice, OCTGN and the like have filled that gap that's been left open so far in MODO.
This. I hate dropping cash on cards that end up going into a trade binder or box and never see the light of day again. "Oh, that sounds like a great idea," has come out of my mouth so many times, and been so very wrong even more. It was a great tool for testing, regardless of if you were eventually getting the card on
MTGO or in real life.

Thing about Trice is I don't think the majority of people on there were using it as their primary means to play Magic, and if they were... Well, I feel bad for them. It was fine and dandy to do some play testing, or maybe occasionally have a fun pickup game if you couldn't get out, but I doubt it was pulling much, if any, revenue away from Hasbro.

May or may not matter, but someone started a petition. There's always a petition for these sorts of things.

Can't say this comes as a shock. I use it from time to time to play against my brother, who lives about an hour away. Not the best way to play Magic, but it was great for what it was. I have a hard time imagining it getting shut down permanently though.
