Great

Good to see you didn't forget about your baby (Magarena)!

Gonna check it out.

THX and keep improving the MTG card game with the best AI around.

Happy new year!

Biggest change is the new themed 60 card deck generator.
This feature can be selected with the blue cube in the deck color selectors.
There are currently 16 different themes, like red Goblins or blue control.

Some other changes are :

• 3540 cards (2 cards added for themes)
• fix for some token scan filenames
• auto mulligan for 60 card decks without penalty

The AI will not always optimally use these decks.
For example it can play two times Pacifism on the same creature.
Reason is the scoring system which encourages playing cards.
This can be tuned and is a nice example that AI is far more than just the used tree search method.

White Soldier deck versus blue black red multicolor deck.

There is a lot more synergy between the cards.

Here it is. Mad Wizard release 2.4.

Download Mad Wizard 2.4

3553 unique cards and 24 deck themes. Improved deck viewing for smaller resolutions.

New theme selection with sun button. Select Euphoria or classic duel user interface.

The classic user interface. Still available.

New Euphoria UI in small window. The small number in top left corner can be obtained with F8 key.
It shows frame rendering time. Lower is better. Indication of how powerful your processor is. This number is on an old Core i7.
Euphoria renders to a fixed size frame buffer and then does scaling, so smaller windows do not help a lot.

Euphoria UI in full screen screen 1080p. This is the optimal resolution.

And another theme.

More information about development can be found in project Euphoria topic.

So this game now has 2 UI and 2 AI.

Enjoy!

This is on a more recent Core i7.

And these are on an old MacBook Air Core i5.

Mad Wizard 2.5 is released. Enjoy!

Download Mad Wizard 2.5

Strixhaven is added and there are now 3582 supported cards.
The main idea is still to support a couple of cards from all the included sets.
There is an important switch, the themed decks have replaced the random color decks.
In general these decks will have more synergy and are thus more enjoyable to play.
It also means that not all supported cards are used at the moment.

There are new theme assets and the backgrounds are again static non scrolling.
At the start of each game a sound is played.
If the images zip file is used the images downloader will not download images present in this file.

Mad Wizard 2.10 is released. Enjoy!

Download Mad Wizard 2.10

There are some small changes.

• Improved rendering of player area in Euphoria UI (less gray).
• Added card images of AFC, STA, TSR sets and new basic lands of Midnight Hunt.
• Some new theme assets.

The idea is that Mad Wizard 2.x remains close to classic Magarena and can still have updates.
This allows some bigger changes to happen eventually to Mad Wizard 3.x like adding the mana pool.
