How Enormous? - Magic Arcana

How Enormous? - Magic Arcana
How Enormous? Arcana Archive Consider, for a moment, the Legions card Enormous Baloth. Fairly straightforward, right? Well, you wouldn't believe how much work went into deciding on its flavor text. We bring this up because we've just found a memo from 2002 (our archives are extensive, but not particularly well organized) listing six options for Enormous Baloth's... (more)

Luminarch Ascention (Zendikar)
Against red, sideboard it out. Against any other color, chump block everything thrown at you until you have this at 4, then pump out the angels, and hope that your opponent doesn’t have Planar Clensing or something to destroy your enchantment. A wrath variant isn’t enough because you can just pump out more angels... (more)

Official Zendikar Spoiler: Goblin Guide
Take a look at TheStarkingtonPost.com’s official Zendikar preview: Goblin Guide! There was a time when red decks had to play Brass Man and Ironclaw Orcs to fill out their curves. Oh how the times have changed. Goblin Guide is not only the holiest of holy red grails (two-powered one-drop), but even gets in on the first turn with haste. Suffice to say we can’t expect such powerful beatdown stats without SOME form of drawback, so let’s examine the Guide’s: “Whenever Goblin Guide a... (more)

Magic the Classroom: Card Advantage

Magic the Classroom: Card Advantage
In Class today I would like to give you my take on Card Advantage. All of us have heard the term used but many struggle with understanding it fully. For some it’s a lack of experience that leads to their confusion. Others run into issues because of too much experience because there are times when the numbers don’t play out as prescribed. Most Internet readers like you have seen a half a dozen descriptions of how to analyze card advantage and many of them are different. (more)

MTG Forge: AI vs. AI - Temporal Difference

MTG Forge: AI vs. AI - Temporal Difference
Initially I decided that MTG Forge version 2 would NOT be able to play itself, but then I changed my mind. I happened to read an article describing how a program named TD-Gammon learned to play backgammon by playing itself. I found this very, very interesting and you can read it for yourself here. TD stands for “Temporal Difference” which is an algorithm that actually learns. Many times the AI for games like chess, checkers, and Magic’s Xbox game use an algorithm called “min-max” or “minimax” which... (more)

Computer Programming and Magic: The Gathering: The Computer Doesn't Mulligan and Why It Doesn't Matter - Part 1

Computer Programming and Magic: The Gathering: The Computer Doesn't Mulligan and Why It Doesn't Matter - Part 1
The computer never mulligans. Truthfully I think I could program the computer to mulligan but I didn't think that it would greatly improve the AI. When a player is deciding whether he should take a mulligan or not many factors flow through his head such as "Do I have the lands that I need to support this hand?", "Is this deck slow or fast?" and "Can I win the game with this hand?". I can't code any of that stuff so the computer would have to follow a few basic rules such as to mulligan if he had o... (more)

Computer Programming and Magic: The Gathering: The Computer Doesn't Mulligan and Why It Doesn't Matter - Part 2
Basically the "Stack AI Land" option gives the AI a 5-10% improvement although this is just a guess. You can use this option to make the computer a little harder or easier. If I am playing MTG Forge's quest mode and the computer's decks are too easy I turn this option on and if I am losing more often, I turn it off. You can also do the same thing for sealed and draft. Specifically the "Stack AI Land" option gives the computer 7 spells and 1 land. The computer then draws lands for the next 3 turns,... (more)
