This release includes 476 new cards and adds support for casting and activating
cards from the graveyard. We have also greatly expanded our card scripting and
edited many of the existing card scripts to use the original rules text. In
addition, you can now import various user generated data as well as download
images from a previous install of Magarena.

Which is the strongest non cheating ai, at lets say 6 seconds per move on a quad core computer?

[melvin]

we don't have data at 6s, but based on results we published at https://code.google.com/p/magarena/wiki/AIComparison

At 8s, the strongest is Monte Carlo Tree Search.

[Huggybaby]

What's the total number of cards supported now?

[ShawnieBoy]

6598 for the 1.49 release, although that number normally increases practically daily.

[hong yie]

6598 for the 1.49 release, although that number normally increases practically daily.

i wonder, have we reach near 50% of total Magic cards printed?

[Lodici]

...which gives me a opportunity to showcase the changes you can expect in the Card Explorer for the next release. Cards stats are highlighted and are based on the 1.50.1157 build.

We're actually over the 50% mark for tournament legal cards

[hong yie]

i think we should be proud with our accomplishment so far. Reaching over 50% tournament legal cards of MtG. Applause to all Magarena contributors & fans

[ShawnieBoy]

Whoops, that may have been a bit premature...

If you consider all printings of all tournament legal cards, we're over 50% (So cards that have been printed in several sets count individually).

For all uniquely named cards which are tournament legal - we're at 49%(ish), with 169 to go...

(Did a clean-up of the cardlist: 6,754 of 13,846 total)

[hong yie]

btw, anyone has ever thought about what happened when we reach over 65% ?
something has to do with "Hasbro" maybe?
something as good as 65% and free + Ai support must attract lots of attention from crowd right?

[Huggybaby]

Forge supports 13803 cards in total.

[ShawnieBoy]

Forge supports 13803 cards in total.

Would be interesting to know what percentage of those work for the AI

[ShawnieBoy]

Forge supports 13803 cards in total.

Would be interesting to know what percentage of those work for the AI

Quick and dirty search reveals 2,937 cards the AI can't use - So lets make that 10866 cards total or 78%

[Lodici]

I've played both and Magarena's AI is better. Not sure what Huggy's point was TBH. Plenty of space for two excellent applications to co-exist.
