Please include this world in the next release!
Cards being used are 99% from the Urza block.
Exceptions :
Two very hard decks use some dual lands - as the block has no multicolored lands to use instead.
Yawgmoth uses Drain Life - necessary evil to fuel Yawgmoth's Bargain. An alternative would be to break the 4-of limit and use more copies of Corrupt and Soul Feast but I rather not do that outside of challenges.
Tolarian Academy uses Time Warp - more of a flavor than really useful for the deck, as the place was strongly related to altered flow of time. Time Spiral is not marked AI playable and is generally not a good move for the AI so I didn't include that.
Urza uses Urza's Rage from Invasion.
Serra uses Wrath of God instead of Catastrophe. This can be replaced in the future once the AI becomes capable of making a SMART decision on which mode to use. My standards for this will be pretty high though - the Armageddon effect is a guaranteed loss if chosen at the wrong time. One challenge also uses WoG but that one is intended to stay that way - the AI should never be able to destroy lands there.

Very nice, I'll try it out and I'll work on integrating it! Thanks for your effort!

Integrated I have a question though: currently we tend to name the worlds by the location they're set in. Urza's block storyline is set in several different locations IIRC, but it starts in Terisiare (unless I remember wrong). What should we best call it?

Terisiare: Urza's Block
Terisiare: Urza's Saga
Urza's Block
Urza's Saga

Something else?... :/
The last two don't sound like a "world name"
The first two incorporate the "world name" but don't encompass the whole saga IIRC...
Anyhow, open to suggestions.

Name...good question. It's been a very long time but as far as I remember the Urza block storyline was...mostly about Phyrexians trying to invade everywhere.
but "Invasion" was another block...so I don't know. And it was definitely in multiple worlds..this says Argoth, Phyrexia, Serra and Dominaria in that order. https://www.wizards.com/magic/expert/ur ... kstory.asp

Ok, I guess we'll just keep it as "Urza's Block" then

Here is an additional duel opponent for this world, taking advantage of the AI being semi-competent at playing Pestilence now.

Thank you very much Seravy, this is my favourite block. I'm glad to see this world has been included in the latest release .

I like the challenges, especially the ones that start you with stuff. Trying to figure out how to get the most value of it best and so on.
