How to Use Apprentice for MTG With a Router
The Apprentice program provides a framework for playing online Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card games. When you play online against other opponents through the Apprentice software, you need to connect over a network. Some router configurations may not allow this connection initially, preventing you from participating in online matches. You can fix the configuration of your router to play opponents in Magic: The Gathering through Apprentice.
