47 I just learned about a combo in my artifact edh deck
Prototype Portal + Phyrexian Metamorph
at first it may not look like much but considering each card is only allowed once in an edh deck being able to copy anything I want each turn is awesome. Especially considering the deck is basically a giant web of "combo's" being able to copy everything I want is awesome (I can also make a copy of the portal and have the copy imprint something else so I can copy that and make extra copies of other stuff if I have the mana for it :p )

49 maybe. I know of octgn (if I can get that one working on Linux, not sure if it has a Linux build) but you need to download so many pictures >_<

51 Yes, but that program also doesn't care about reprints with the same art. So you end up with a lot of pictures that are the same.
Setting it up also takes a bit of work, and I am not sure if you can install all the pictures at once or you need to do it per set.

52 today I discovered that in a battle between my chaos edh deck and my aftifact edh deck it is not a good idea for my chaos deck to play Knowledge Pool
Reason: the artifact deck floods the pool with artifacts that are only good in combination with other stuff, leaving my chaos deck with useless cards. The fact that my artifact also has a lot of cheap stuff that can be made even cheaper even more increases this problem.

52 Dunno about OCTGN, but Cockatrice definitely has Windoze and Mac versions, and I'm pretty sure it does Linux, too. Also, it only downloads card pictures on the fly, as needed. Not sure if it caches dowloaded pictures locally or not.

53 although it only has an installer download for ubuntu it does have instructions to compile it on debian so...yea...lets see if I can follow them and not break my system :p
edit: it seems to work and the fact that it uses qt instead of gtk 2 like most of the other programs that I use don't seem to make it look odd, in fact it fits right in. Unlike certain other programs *cough*gedit*cough*

54 Well, I'm now on the default Cockatrice server (cockatrice.woogerworks.com, port 4747 (not sure if the port number actually makes a difference)), and I created a password-protected EDH game called "Hi Lens" with password "lenscas" (without quotes). See if you can find and join that, although do keep in mind that I'm about to drop off the face of the Internet for a few hours.

I even downloaded an actual Commander decklist just for this occasion.
