Manalink Tournament (May) (tournament complete)

[Yggdrasil]

I heard that Sony and WotC are making MtG into a computer game but somehow I doubt it will be as good as Shandalar

I guess the game will cost only 50 $ with 100 virtual common cards. Next, players can buy additionnal boosters of 15 random cards for 15 $.

from the trailers of seen of it i think its gonna be a chess board with creatures drawn from Mtg.

[Cognis]

I hope it will be played with cards like real MtG. Maybe they will have a virtual arena, but if they're gonna animate all creatures I bet the install will be about 16gb big. If they make all the cards available I might even buy it but if they make some lame MMO card game (or a fancier version of Magic online) it's gonna suck big time. Well let's hope WotC will do something for the fans after they turned D&D into pen'n'paper WoW.

Eight. Mine's just in!

[enigma73]

is their going to be jatill coded cards for the prizes?

[scherbchen]

adding mine a bit later. actually had the AI pilot the deck this time and cut some cards which it did not use as intended. I have grown so much *sobs*

[scherbchen]

gah the AI is so infuriating at times. just play the goshdarn lands!

[discoransom]

Trying hard to brew up something cool that also plays well...can't seem to find the mojo...

Yes

[aww1979]

We're up to nine submitted decks, now. I might axe one of the three I designed, to save testing time, and because someone submitted a deck with 45/60 identical cards to one of them :p

Oh, and just noticed Jatill's last post is:

lol. I'd say 45/60 identical is a good threshold for cutting a testing deck for similarity.

[Salbei]

Made some changes to the Decklist cause the AI was just horrible with a couple cards.
Check your PMs please for the updated list.

[juzamjedi]

I made another update as well. AI is REALLY bad with some cards I added but oh well

[scherbchen]

I just wished I'd be able to see the reasoning behind the AI not playing fetchlands or opting not to use Knight of the White Orchid fetch ability when at 2 lands to my 4 with a dual land in hand, a fetchland in hand and casting the knight while being behind on the board. and not dropping a land but rather ending the turn.

if I will get 5 points via an AI victory it will be through a decent to perfect draw by the AI (who never takes a mulligan) in a best-of-1 gauntlet. I am counting on 7+ winning streaks by you guys

so I ought to blame you, really... *scribbles down note*
