Best way to play Magarena?
Posted: 31 Jan 2012, 10:15
I just got Magarena 1.21. I think it's great, but I'm having trouble determining how to "balance" the game for the best challenge. That doesn't mean just playing against the strongest possible deck with the strongest AI setting, that means a computer opponent as an "equal" so to speak.
So far I've tried the default settings, both players using 2 color decks, no edits, the cards drawn from the "all (1960 cards)" setting. I haven't experimented with Legacy or ubeefx or the premade decks--do those make for a more "even" duel?
What about the AI setting? Again I had the default minimax, on 6, then I changed it to 8. No discernible difference, I won easily both times and the comp made several decisions. What would be a stronger AI setting? A couple of them say "cheat" next to them--how is it the comp cheats using those settings?
Any suggestions?
