                                 Hints for Magic: The Gathering--Battlemage

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Well, I seem to be the first to notice that the decks in Magic:the
 Gathering are simply text files.  You can alter thes in pretty much any way
 you like to create whatever deck you'd like.  I haven't messed with it
 much, but anyone can create a persona and a deck pretty easily.

 In the 'playdeck' directory, you can simply create a new text file 'player
 name'.dck.  If you follow the structure of the other .dck files, you'll
 have your deck in no time.

 Some observations :
  - I believe the first column of numbers is something that affects the AI,
 but I         haven't touched those, so I'm unsure
 -  The second column is the number of each card you want (i only assume
 that the     total for all of these must be larger than 40)
 -  The third column is the name of the card

 -  You also have to be sure to keep the total number of types of cards at
 least as         large as the current number, don't know why.

 Please let me know of anything else about how the file works.  I'm not a
 magic player, and don't have the time to thoroughly study the file, but
 more info would be cool.

 Oh yeah, once people start making their own decks, go ahead and forward
 them to all of your friends, it's easy!
