Thanks for this release . The new IDS and complete NPH sets are great.

Thank you so much for the hard work, everyone. Every single card in standart - insane . Also, flipcards work brilliantly.

Awesome release!

Thanks for the new release! I love that MAGE focuses on finishing the more recent sets rather then just finishing the easier cards across all of magic's history.

However, are there any tips on getting this to run on Mac OSX? I've managed to get the previous version running on my mac but this one seems to be lacking the .jar files that I used before. Anyways, thanks and great work!

Thank you for all your warm words!

Regarding Mac OSX: sorry, seems we missed that.
actually you can start server using server.sh (in /server folder)
but unfortunately we forgot to include client.sh to /client folder

so all you need is to create it with the content:

Code: Select all

java -jar ./lib/Mage-Client-0.8.jar -Xms256M -Xmx1024M

Yes, great work. The AI actually played a decent game against me. That is, until it used Jace's mill ability on itself twice to lose the game. Ack! But the other moves were pretty darn good.

Some niceness. I like how the update notes list every single Innistrad card one by one instead of just saying "All of them!".

Kind of miss how in the previous version, you could take as much time as you like to construct your sealed deck if you're playing AIs. Being able to set the time allocated for this like in draft would be nice; getting a newbie stuck with that time constraint is harsh.

The tooltip doesn't specify how many corpses you need to cast a stitched up zombie, so : / lots of googling.

The "open booster" option in the constructed deck editor seems nonfunctional.

Being able to see the reverse of flip cards by right clicking or something..

Not a fan of the AI's shadowy heads in the darkness avatar, actually preferred the random face to this.

When all cards are listed in the deck builder, it takes over half a minute to scroll all the way through with the Page Down key. Might want to consider a scroll bar there.

Oh, and the dropdown list of sets when playing limited is becoming quite an unsorted beast. I think it should be sorted by

[Core Set]
[Expert Sets]

In reverse chronological order. So..

M12
M11
M10
10E
Innistrad
New Phyrexia
Mirrodin Besieged
Etc
