MTGForge 05/28 (unofficial BETA) version

[mtgrares]

You can read about my (failed) phone interview on my blog, here.

There are two new features: you can add cards to your quest pool and you can sort using the Deck Editor (non-quest). You can also sort according to the card's placement in cards.txt, so the new cards are at the top. (I'm working on sorting all of the cards by set, with the newest sets first.)

I wanted to be able to add a card to my quest cardpool, so I made an option in the "AI Deck" menu which you will see if you have a file named "edit" in the MTG Forge directory. I enjoy using new cards but I also play mostly quest, so I wanted to be able to use new cards while I'm questing.

And secondly I wanted to be able to see which cards are new, so the regular non-quest Deck Editor will have a sort menu that lets you sort by name, color, type, mana cost, rarity or "New Card First" which sorts the cards according to their order in cards.txt

I like how the buttons in the Deck Editor now state "Add Card" and "Remove Card". Nice!

I forgot post the code to add "Add Card" to the quest deck editor AI menu. The new version has flashback which is cool. I presume you are using (abusing) SpellAbility.canPlay(). Part of the AI will now have to search the computer's hand and graveyard since we now have flashback.

I'll add this in!

Yes, the AI will use spells with flashback too by the way, I had to hack this in.

Very cool indeed, thanks.

Persist And Flashback!?
The Next Beta should be awesome!

Lookin' good.

I just found a bit of a bug - I had a Slith Bloodletter with counters on it, my opponent Threaten 'd it, it hit me, got another token, and then next turn it came back to me with 0 counters on it. Sad face.
