I don't know.

I remember reading about a card costing SKR395 (I think) that
would work until February 2005, but I can't find anything on
teracom.se now, and a quick search for "MTG" at boxer.se just
came up with this:
http://www.boxer.se/?page=888&display=2951:2820
and
http://www.boxer.se/?page=974

Seems you have to start subscribing to the Boxer service to get a
card that can decrypt.

Don't know if that helps.
