Re: Magic: The Gathering
apprentice essntialy simulates deck randomization and the playing field you actualy do all the mechanics by hand as you play.
if you search for magic the gathering apprentice you shuold bump into it. then i found magic set editor which is a custom card creator that can export to apprentice format hence meaning you just recreate the cards you want that are missing from the set.

. From reading about it, it maintains its own database of cards, which would be a plus over Apprentice, if I'm understand it correctly. Additionally, it is actually a full fledged implementation of the game into software.

OCTGN is another alternative, if you don't want to use either of the above.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
When I first read this, I was thinking of the actual card, "Cockatrice"

Re: Magic: The Gathering
I will warn you all that Apprentice is easy to manipulate. I was a judge for an online league years ago and having to deal with all the supposed hacking was so bothersome. The problem was, it was most times someone who was hacking by having that one card they need to draw always show up and the such.
I might give this cockatrice thing a try to see how well it handles things. Maybe throw a few beatings around. How does it handle multiplayer as EDH generally will see 4 players in a game instead of being only 1v1.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
My only experience with EDH has been listening to one friend talk about it and playing a game with 3 other people. out of the four of us 3 were precon decks and only one was a personally built deck. My ability to come up with ideas for normal decks works fine...edh..not so fine.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
Well as i said i have played one EDH game and i used a precon called devour for power. It actually had a theme that worked. Also from what my one friend has shown me there is more to it then just throwing lots of good stuff in and calling it a deck. Seen two of his deck designs that were fairly nasty and very effective in getting rolling.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
I like heavenly inferno.
although i just tried some EDH and it ended up with everyone calling me a fucking douchebag and leaving.
its not my fault they couldn't handle my decks win condition being waiting. (i had removed their ability to untap, all their permenants come into play tapped, all their creatures were 1/1's with no abilities, etc)

Re: Magic: The Gathering
decks where you simply run everyone else out of cards or such is pretty much just boring game in my opinion. boring games frustrate people even faster.

Re: Magic: The Gathering
Yeah i know how that can be. The gorup i play with the most is always either scared of me and hold back to try and counter whatever i do or scared of me and goes aggressive right off the bat at me. Even in group games. Usually its because i'm the only one constantly updating my stock of cards and bringing new stuff to the table.
