Developer Wololo has released the latest build to Wagic, The Homebrew ?!, the homebrew  equivalent (duh) of Magic: The Gathering. Extensive beta testing has rewarded the game with new features, including better AI, and a Deck Editor that's easier to navigate. To give you an idea of the game's new AI and Deck Editor, here's a vid showing off some gameplay clips:



And here's the changelog:

General

  • Deck Editor easier to navigate (shows the number of occurrences of a given card rather than all the occurrences, cards sorted by alphabetical order, other improvements)

» Online Play?

This is the first time I've heard of this brew. Is there online play? That would be sweet.

» Interesting...

Well Wololo,



This is interesting, as I thought that the MTG scene was a dying breed. You've made me quite happy with this HB.



Anyway,



I was, and still am, very into MTG, and if you need help getting cards and such, I have hundreds upon hundreds of them at my house. I could scan them and Photoshop them if they needed to be, and have them ready to be put into your game.



If your interested email me.

» Thanks Navarone

Thanks Navarone. No need to scan the cards as there is already a good amount of websites doing that.

However you might want to check the forums on my website (wololo dot net slash forum ) to help us create new cards.

» quick question...

does it cover from Alpha edition up to now?



I only play MTG up to shortly after Tempest. I haven't played in years and don't know any what the cards are like after Tempest. I have some old school decks based on old school AN, 3rd edition, Ice Age etc. You know.. stuffs like Fatties, Prosbloom, NecroBurn etc. Would be great if I can play on my PSP with those decks again not having to dig up all my cards again.

New cards are added every day on our forums, I cannot myself keep track of what's available or not, so go check it there. The set with the most cards right now is the 3rd (revised) edition.
