Umm... I assumed you knew what Magic cards were... they've only been really popular for at least a decade, probably more...
Its a online card game... and it does require payment but not monthly. You pay to buy card packs (or cards). You get some starter deck and then have to pay (real) money to buy card packs, just like you would for the real game... an interesting business model that might work on consoles too, but I imagine it'd be tougher there...
Most console and PC online games are on seperate networks, even when the games have the same name or are similar... there was a Dreamcast game or two that was online on DC and PC on the same network, but I know some X-Box shooters are on seperate networks from PC ones...
