Magarena 1.88

[melvin]

This release fixes a number of long standing issues with the game engine.

Playing a deck that could draw many cards in a single turn will crash when the
AI tries to enumerate the cards to discard during the cleanup step. This has
been fixed by splitting the discard into several steps.

The MCTS AI will sometimes crash when it tries to reuse the game tree it
created during the previous decision. This has been fixed by tracking down
cases that cause it to select an incorrect part of the previous game tree.

In addition, this release includes improvements to the card script and 133 new cards.

MagicCards.info (Our source for images) has uploaded the images for C17, however many of them are linked to incorrect cards (A problem their end, not ours). Try not to download the images yet - I'll give another heads-up when they've been corrected. If you've already downloaded, I'll be updating the scripts to download for the next patch.

The images for C17 have been corrected - unfortunately just after our 1.89 release.
