Beta testing results and ML Bot v4 Open Beta

Hello Botters,

with the spotlight over and the chaotic Beta client at rest for now, we can go back to our normal bot business. We had a few ML bots running and we strenuously tested them over the last 48 hours and overall we are pretty happy with the functionality of the bot.

This is post is to present you what we found about MTGO v4 and ML Bot v4 and where we are headed. For those who don't know, v4 will be released on July (here: http://community.wizards.com/content/blog/4083351 ).


First of all, the bot and surprisingly the beta client were very stable and we reported no unexpected crashes, there were a few minor issues and speed needs to improve, but these are easy fixes. This was our first serious test with v4 and we are happy to say that ML was excellent - we could even release it today and everyone will have a stable and efficient bot. ML Bot for v4 has the same functionalities of v3, with a very similar user interface. You will get used in no time.

Our goal for the next 2 months is to further develop the bot and have an updated, easy to use and fully functional v4 bot by July 1, 2014, this is when we will start open beta testing. The Beta client will go live on Mtgo mid July, not only will we be ready but we will have the best bot, with the best feature to the open public that follows the guidelines of WOTC.

Get excited, new great things are coming to ML Bot soon.

Happy Botting,
Jason - Teamstoge

MTGO Library Bot 6.87

ML Bot 6.87 has just been released, supporting Journey Into the Nyx (JOU).

As usual the updated pricelist is available for download on the Online Control Panel or for free during the update process. The Lite bots should update too because the pricelist make them capable of handling JOU.

Wizards have given me two days off

During the wide beta spotlight, my bots don't work and I can't play on the client I don't really love, but can at least live with.

This is what happened last time I tried your Wide Beta client, Wizards:

You said I would be forced to switch in July 2013.
You said Leagues would be back in 2011.
You said an awful lot of things that did not come true.

Get your act together. You have the best game in the world with the worst client(s) in the world. Just get your act together. Don't let Blizzard steal your market.

You will have to drag me kicking and screaming from v3, even though I don't really like it and it looks like it is from 1993. At least it works.

This two day break will give me plenty of time to play some Hearthstone and do all the chores I have neglected. Thank you for that, Wizards.

What is the Wide Beta spotlight, you ask? Well, it is Wizards forcing us to endure yet another forced buggy beta test. I will not. Not again. I am out. See you after this travesty.

Journey into Nyx: combat tricks

Surprises are not welcomed during a draft. It is good to know your enemy and in this case it is an unexpected card. You should be conscious of risk and be able to predict what your opponent may be holding on his hand. To this end, I've prepared a list of cards that do some combat tricks.

White: Ajani's Presence, Decide, Reprisal, Phalanx Formation
Blue: Aeriel Formation, Kiora's Dismissal, Hubris, Hour of Need, Polymorphous Rush
Black: Cruel Feeding, Feast of Dreams, Nightmarish End, Ritual of the Returned, Silence the Believers
Red: Magma Spray, Rouse the Mob, Riddle the Lightning, Starfall
Green: Nature's Panoply, Setessan Tactics, Solidarity of Heroes, Colossal Heroics, Consign to Dust
Multi: Dictate of Heliod, Dictate of Kruphix, Dictate of Erebos, Dictate of Twin Gods, Dictate of Karametra, Fleefeather Cockatrice, Cloaked Siren

The Modern Noob on mtgolibrary
I will report on my progress in The Modern Noob every Sunday here on mtgolibrary until June 8th, when I will report how the Premier Event did and then sell all my Modern cards when they peak like crazy during Modern PTQ Season. I will start playing the format again in September after rebuying everything I need.

MTGO Library Bot 6.86

ML Bot 6.86 has just been released. We worked again on the AutoTransfer modes and fixed some minor problems that caused the bot to skip some cards in the "Balance" and "Refill" modes (and never transfer them)

MTGO Library Bot 6.85

ML Bot 6.85 is a minor update fixing a problem with the AutoTransfer of boosters. The picking of the boosters was not working correctly and so the bots were unable to transfer all the boosters they needed.
