There is support for users to make their own custom databases for this, and I can do it in like one weekend of hard work if I put my mind to it. The program obviously would not feature rules enforcement, but anyone who still cares enough about Overpower at this point really shouldn't need that. Besides, the majority of OP online crashes/glitches are from trying to take back an action or moving a card around.
The main benefit of this is that there would be no more Hamachi for direct player connections. You play through a server, so you can just click on a game name and join. Also, if you get disconnected, you can rejoin later on and the server will have your match saved. It would also let you store decks on a server so that you could access them remotely from any computer, as well as just being a more stable and clean experience. It will also run on any machine, instead of wrestling with a 15 year old program to get it running on modern operating systems.

I do like the sound of this. unfortunately for me, even the most basic programming is still quite over my head. about as far as I can ever get programming is the most simple use of XL formulas :-[
If we can get things up and running, I'd be glad to try it out.
the only issue i can see is the card's scan. there are 2700 cards and about 125-300 in any given duel. how is this huge block of data going to come about in a web page. or is this a computer app?
