I have a 2010 13" Macbook Pro and I was wondering if I could reliably run Windows 7 in Parallels, in order to play Magic the Gathering: Online. By reliable, I mean will it be an enjoyable experience? Should I expect major lag or glitches?

This is my first mac and I wasn't sure what it's capable of, in regards to Parallels (having never used it). I know bootcamp is an option, but it seems more convenient to play through Parallels.

Thanks for the responses!
 
never played the game.. but its system requirements are very low... Wineskin, or Crossover might be able to run it... or if not and you need Windows, i don't know why Parallels 7 would have any issues. Parallels 7 is very fast with games graphics for a virtual machine... not quite as good usually as something Wine based, but for a VM its good and better than VMWare and VirtualBox for games.
