Try using WINE. Not perfect, but it is usable.

WINE is a free open source program which enables Windows programs to be run on *nix systems. In other words, it acts as an interface between your Windows program (MWS) and your Linux-type operating system (OSX). I didn't get it to work perfectly, but I did manage to get to the point where I could at least run decks, even if players' life totals didn't show up.

Here's Wine:

Good luck. If you get MWS running perfectly on it, please post and let everyone know. They're up to a newer version of WINE than when I tried it.

Wine is way over my head.  I don't even know which version I want.

Try the most recent one.

Alternatively, check out the App DB:   http://appdb.winehq.org/

They list lots of applications, as well as the compatibility and any workarounds or bugs with it.

Wine is very hard to get working with MWS. There is an alternative, which is a program called Lackey http://www.lackeyccg.com/

It's got a pretty easy interface and a deck editor similar to MWS. The only problem is almost nobody uses it. If you know somebody who you'd like to play with and you can IM them or something to set up a game, this program is fine. However if you want to be able to just log on and find someone to play against, then you're out of luck. Most players are casual or are playing some other game like pokemon ccg.
