Posted: 09 May 2015, 17:01Forge Beta: 5-09-2015 ver 1.5.39
14766 cards in total.
Release Notes
- Interface Update -
The interface has received several small changes.
- The "Players" panel has been removed. This information can now be viewed by
hovering the cursor over a player's avatar.
- The poison counters value has been moved to next to a players life total.
This is only visible if the player has any poison counters.
- The poison counters button has been replaced with a Command Zone button.
The command zone panels have been removed.
- Network play (BETA) -
This version of Forge includes a preliminary version of peer-to-peer (P2P)
network support. If one player hosts, other players can connect to that
player's machine by filling out the corresponding IP address and port number
(default 36743), provided the lobby contains one or more open player slots.
Do not expect network support to work reliably yet, any bug reports or other
comments are welcome!
- Smarter Deck Color Determination -
When determining the color of decks, colors of hybrid and phyrexian cards are no
longer considered unless they can be produced by a land in the deck
- Land Color Filtering in Deck Editor -
When filtering colors in the Deck Editor, lands that produce all selected colors will now be shown
This means if you filter to show only green and white cards, lands that produce green and white will now be shown
This should hopefully make finding multicolor lands for your decks easier
- Quest Starting Pool Configuration -
When starting a new quest, you now have many more options to configure your starting pool. Instead of just picking a
single color, you can pick any combination of them, including colorless. There's also the option to include artifacts in
the pool alongside your colored cards or not.
The "color bias" option in the quest settings is now the percentage of your generated card pool that will contain the
settings you've selected. For example, if you picked Green cards and a color bias of 75, your card pool would be 75%
green, 25% all other colors.
Finally, there's three settings to choose your color distribution. "Balanced" maintains an equal balance between your
selected colors. "Random" completely randomizes the pool and makes only miniscule attempts to control the cards you get.
"Surprise Me" is much like "Balanced", except it will pick all your settings for you and not tell you what they were!
The New/Load quest menu has been given a small facelift to accommodate these changes and make it easier to read.
You will need to update your color bias quest setting as the values are now much too low.

Forge 5/09/2015 BETA packaged as a Mac OS application (requires java 7 and Mavericks OS X):
We do not have a separate Mac OS application version for this version. Mac users should download the version listed above and then launch the forge game by double clicking on the file named forge.command.
and tried downloading the new 1.5.39 version, for some reason I am not able to run the program. I know usually this is a zip file, not sure if its because it is tar.bz2 but here are the steps I have taken:
