Hello there I'm 35 and found an old Magic deck, and reminded me of Shandalar! played it 18years ago... I've found a rusty version that fasten all processes and bypass some screens, life points go down and never go further 11...very buggy!
I have tried your remake and it's good. no crashes.
also there are newest cards than 1999 expansions, right?
why cards doesn't report graphic author?
Anyway well done, thank you very much!!

Hello and thank you for keeping Shandalar alive.
The last couple of weeks I have enjoyed playing this version (Revisited) of the game with unmodified decks on a Windows 10 64-bit operating system. I started a new game on Wizard difficulty - not using the savedgames attached to the distribution. Unfortunatelly, in the mid- to late-game I encounter several problems while dueling certain enemies:
- Sedge Troll, Nether Fiend and Archangel, maybe more encounters, after a number of turns (around 10 turns for each player) appear to go into infinite thinking loop at enemy's post-combat phase. This appears no matter if loosing or winning the encounter, and no matter if enemy has 1 or 7 cards on hand. I have tried waiting for over 5 minutes and enemy turn does not end. The cursor is still "rotating". Double-pressing the game field gets cards rearranged, I can move my own cards, etc. but the enemy keeps "thinking" on next move. It does not matter if this phase is marked as "always stop" or not. The only option is to exit the game by ending the process in the Task Manager. Resuming the game and playing the encounter again may or may not have the same result. Restarting computer does not work.
- with some Djinn enemy I got the following error message: "AddCard error: No more room in cd to add a card", and I was asked to seek help on this forum, so here I am.
The deck I aim to play is heavy on card rotation (with Timetwister, Wheel of Fortune), but this issue did not yet happen with any other enemies. I searched the forum and found a workaround but I do not want to have enemy decks modified. Also it does not happen after many turns or card draws - maybe a total of 5 turns where the 1900 card limit is yet to be reached.
Not sure if those issues are specific to this distribution. Please point me to a solution if there is one. I am comfortable with hex-editing should need arise.
Thank you
- Update: playing against Dracur also got the message:
Assertion Error
File-> D:\Newmagic\multiplayer\sid\Minit.c, Line-> 1899
AddCard error: No more room in cd to add a card

This is in a new game, I do not yet have Timtwister, and this has happened on enemy turn 6.

Played the other version, buggy, but had no actual game play issues.
Decided to pick this one up and it was pretty, and faster
Then the other shoe dropped last night, as well as this morning
Hit the ice worm cave, bad guy got a mulligan, I declined to ride his and things went tits up. He got no land, if it even redxrew. Next 8 fights, in same place, every mob dropped no land...ODD! Was a face roll /yawn
This morning, I go to play and mulligan,redraw, no land,,,ODD. I check my black deck and all land in it is no longer in it...or in my inventory. As I check, EVERY land spell is gone that was included in that deck. City of brass x2, gone, Mishra factory x3, gone, and 15 swamps
Not sure if this is an issue others have had, seriously, 14 pages...yeeesh, too much to pour over to seek a confirmation
I am unsure if this is a knowen issue or a WTF issue revolving around that dungeon and my random mulligan when fighting or not, but it sure seemed to create a pretty oddball exception. So, starting over I suppose
A side note...is my luck utter trash, sporting a 10 handicapped and the AI is gifted the luck? I can literally predict what card will drop, in most of the dungeon scenarios, in response to my card played. Granted, sense is sense, but when it happens to often to be as if the deck is weighted vs my specific hand, I have to wonder if there is a code issue there as well

I'm so glad to have found this game again. And to see that people still play it.
I'm also glad I found this salvaging (if you will) of it, too, as it's incredible to play it with new(ish) cards and Planeswalkers as well. Especially since the version I got before finding this board only has cards as recent as Fate Reforged. Will it be updated with more recent sets in the future?
