New Version

There is a new, hot-off-the-shelves, kick-your-brothers-butt, version of Forge with a whopping 200 new cards, which means that Forge now has colossal 2,331 cards. (P.S. I love the word whopping.) Probably the biggest change is that now there is a “Before Combat Begins” phase and an “After Attackers” phase, so you can milk those activated abilities and instants even more. I know people have been clamoring for more phases.

There are a ton of exciting new cards that you will you will want to get your hands on like the planeswalkers Ajani Vengeant and Jace Beleren, the insane-in-the-membrane Time Walk, and the put-any-artifact-into-play king Tinker (make sure to use a nice big fatty like Darksteel Colossus).

Other notable potables includes Academy Rector which lets you abuse enchantments, Umezawa's Jitte which is an insane piece of equipment, as well as the how-do-I-use-this-stupid-card Barren Glory (At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control no permanents other than Barren Glory and have no cards in hand, you win the game). Snow mana is now supported and there are also a ton of tiny fixes for individual cards.

The other big change is that Forge now uses a different deck system. Your old decks were all crammed into the file “all-decks2” but now each deck exists as a separate file. This version will import all of your old decks into the new deck system.

Other nice goodies include a deck editor that lets you easily hide colors and card types that you don’t want. You can see a nice screenshot of it here. (Thanks Nantuko!!)

This whole update was coded by the great guys on the forum: Dennis, Rob, Zerker, and Nantuko.

p.s. I added a text file that says that this is Forge version 11-25 because that was when it was released on the forums. On the forums you can cure world hunger, be the next president of the United States, or finish your homework. The forums are a great place to upload your favorite deck or download someone else's.
