Magarena - 918 Cards, Good AI
Forge is great but sometimes a little variety is good. Magarena has rules enforcement like Forge and
has a great AI. Magarena's AI is the
best that I've every seen. (And I've
heard that it is better than the new Duels of the Planeswalker.) Magarena has a great user interface and looks
like a real videogame. Magarena lets you
pick your theme from a variety of user created skins.
It is hard to describe Magarena's AI. It feels like there is a little guy in the
computer that is purposefully trying to destroy you. The AI will play as hard and as smart as a
human. Sometimes the AI will hold back
and you may think that it may think that it is a glitch but then the AI will
play some uber-powerful card that changes the whole game. Most games will be grueling 20+ turns.
Magarena only has 1-on-1 matches and doesn't have any sort
of quest mode. Magarena features
high-quality card scans so you can sit back and enjoy the great the great
art. While Magic is a great game, it
also features some great artwork.

p.s.
Working on an open source project is hard and thankfully
other people step up to the task. I, the
original author of Forge, no longer work on Forge and ubeefx, the original
author of Magarena, no longer works on that project. Thanks to melvin who continues to work on
Magarena and thanks to the Forge coders who have added more cards than I ever
thought possible.
