Playmat is a web-based client and fork of XMage, the open-source Magic: The Gathering engine, adding a WebSocket bridge and a browser UI styled after MTG Arena. It packages the server with desktop installers and Docker deployment, supporting AI play, drafts, and multiplayer. It's a well-executed hobby project that makes a complex Java engine accessible to non-technical users.
