Various rules improvements: Damages donÂ’t use the stack anymore, Spells with invalid targets fizzle,Â…
Two new game modes to unlock: Evil Twin (in which the AI plays with your deck), and Random mode (you and the AI play with random generated decks). Stay tuned on http://wololo.net/wagic to learn how these modes can be unlocked, and donÂ’t forget that you can also unlock the extra difficulty mode and the Momir Basic mode!
Expansions now need to be unlocked (by winning games) before you can buy them in the shop
New parser keywords, including: doesnotuntap, counter, @movedTo
Parser huge improvements for triggered events, Â“lordÂ” cards (think Slivers), discard, draw, life, damage, deplete, protection and more
PlayerÂ’s deck improvements: no more 5 decks limitation, and you can now name your decks (using the same format as the AI decks) to make them easier to find.
Added a Â“premade decksÂ” system for new players who want to play directly without creating their own deck
AI improvements: The AI can now use mana abilities from non Â“basic landÂ” cards. The AI can also use Â“mayÂ” cards such as gravedigger and clone.
New AI deck: Soldiers
Shop improvements: hit Â“squareÂ” to refresh the shop cards (no need to quit and re-enter the shop like crazy to update the cards). BoostersÂ’ price decreased. Mythic rares added to boosters.
Game flow improved, the game now does not offer you to counter your own abilities and spells by default (this can be changed in the options menu, but IÂ’m sure you wonÂ’t need it 🙂 )
Lots of individual card bugs fixed, too many to tell!
Memory usage improvements and memory bug fixes
