Magic: The Gathering (aka 魔法风云会, MTG, Magic: Die Zusammenkunft, Shandalar) is a video game published in 1997 on Windows by MicroProse Software, Inc. It's a strategy game, set in a cards, fantasy, real-time, turn-based, licensed title and trading / collectible card themes.
OK, listen up. Forge is probably the coolest tool ever released for any die-hard magic fan. It allows you to play Magic against the computer, simulating a real player using Artificial Intelligence. Now you can test out your decks and fine tune them via simulation before going out and purchasing new cards! Or if you’re dying to play some Magic but none of your friends are interested at the moment, Forge is also a great alternative. You can construct custom decks with any Magic Card in existence (although if a new set is released, you’d need to wait until the next update to Forge.)
Oh, and I forgot to mention: it’s FREE!
I’ve demonstrated several of the cards featured on my site via simulated matches using Forge on my Youtube Channel.
