How do you play MtG online ?

Surely there are (illegal? grey?) clones where the big ticket items are free ? How do these clones maintain a game play balance ?

Non player. Curious.

There's an official software to play online, where you also need to buy packs with random virtual cards to play. But there's also non-official softwares where you can use any card. How to maintain the balance? This is the core game's responsibility. To create cards and mechanics which aren't just pay to win.
