Powerhouse

UR Type 1.5

This deck is designed to be used by the computer to playtest decks against. It is very slow but very powerful, especially when it utilizes the Triskelion + Diamond Valley bug that Hoovey pointed out, giving the computer an extra 100 or so life.

The deck's strategy is simple. It sits back and gathers mana resources, putting out nothing to protect itself. Once it has gathered enough mana it plays something very large and very powerful, like a Mahamotti Djinn, Shivan Dragon, or the above cheat combo. Oh, and I finally found a deck to put my Two-Headed Giants in :-).

I built this deck for the explicit purpose of testing decks against it, giving the computer an edge with a nasty bug in the system so that it can become obscenely powerful if given the chance to develop. The goal then, in playtesting against this deck, is to see whether your deck develops quickly enough to defeat it before it gets out the broken combo. Enjoy.

The PC Game

This Magic: The Gathering circa 1997, the card set is 4th edition and earlier! You can create decks and play them against the AI. Or you can enter Shalandar, a fantasy adventure world where you fight duels for ante, and build decks from your spoils.

The Site

This is an abandonware website built to host this old game. Other people have been kind enough to write detailed setup instructions for operating systems up to Windows XP. Since I was not the person who even wrote the instructions, I do not offer support beyond these pages.

Magic: The Gathering is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast. This is a non-profit site for the personal entertainment of myself and my friends.
