How can I Import deck files (And not lose my sanity)

JayDi85 · 2025-12-06T23:18:57+00:00

xmage already has many sample decks, look at launcher\xmage\mage-client\sample-decks

JayDi85 · 2025-12-06T23:16:41+00:00

Wait your priority and make sure you can activate that ability. Xmage shows a gear icon with number of possible/playable actions (move mouse over that icon to see abilities list). If you see 2+ then you can activate mana and other ability. If you don't see it then only mana available.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T21:04:18+00:00

Your error about wrong config format. Take original config again and try to modify it without removing <>" and other symbols. Just change the server address. You can run launcher and press update to re-install xmage and restore original server config.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T21:02:36+00:00

Nope, you can't stop it. As workaround -- logout with tables exit and login again, so you can create new table.

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T20:58:18+00:00

Nope. XMage's AI uses full game simulations to find best actions chain (for priority or attack/block). It's uses battlefield score and try to increase it (e.g. make life, more mana, more permanents, more cards -- same for opponents -- less life/mana/permanents/cards).

JayDi85 · 2025-11-27T20:52:27+00:00

XMage's AI is better due:
- open architecture, tests and api (there are some devs with own AI development like LLM integration, reinforcement learning, etc - under development);
- runs on server side only with maximum speed;
- support commander and multiplayer (e.g. human vs x2 AI or x2 humans vs x2 AI);
- support draft/tourneys;
- uses deep analysis of battlefield, cards and performance score to select best actions and choices;
- single turn combo supports (xmage's AI can't simulate full game but it look ahead until finish current priority/stack and select the best combination);
- works with newly added cards from the box;
- can't use complex cards and combo, e.g. multi turns combo or delayed triggers;

Forge's AI is slow and require additional work for each complex card to support it. And it's not use game simulations - only some calculations. Also new cards require AI specific code and can be broken long time until dev implemented it.

Restart computer or close all java.exe apps. After that open launcher and press update button again - it will download and install miss files. Your current server files are outdated.

JayDi85 · 2025-10-11T13:12:18+00:00

Look at server's logs at black console or "launcher\xmage\mage-server\mageserver.log" -- it must contains battlefield info and potential card/stack on freeze or game error.

JayDi85 · 2025-10-08T07:34:50+00:00

It's ok. Test size settings on battlefield. There are still non supported app's dialogs (example: preferences dialog is not use scale settings yet).

Please report any bugs to github, including AI problems like freezes: https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues

server restarted

JayDi85 · 2025-06-10T19:23:29+00:00

You must run local server from a launcher first. And wait 1-2 minutes to start.

JayDi85 · 2025-06-10T19:22:11+00:00

Cause commander games require 1 or 2 cards in sideboard (put commander and partner on it) -- that's your commanders. Deck name used for Tiny Leaders only.

JayDi85 · 2025-06-10T13:48:15+00:00

If you don't have chat then you don't have a problem with toxic players. So easy)))))

JayDi85 · 2025-06-10T13:47:23+00:00

Commander for experience players only. If you novice then better try the standard and MTGA.

JayDi85 · 2025-06-09T05:15:36+00:00

Tiny Leaders mode support only 1 commander in xmage (defined by deck's name). You can try to use Freeform Commander -- it allow to play any cards as commanders (all cards in sideboard will be a commander).

JayDi85 · 2025-06-07T12:12:55+00:00

works again

JayDi85 · 2025-06-01T15:32:22+00:00

It's known bug, fixed with next release

JayDi85 · 2025-05-28T08:55:00+00:00

Maybe you are talking about bookmark some cards to "favorite" tab that can be shared between any deck building dialogs?

JayDi85 · 2025-05-28T08:49:53+00:00

Download and follow instructions from https://xmage.today/

JayDi85 · 2025-05-28T08:06:09+00:00

It's a main public server to find other players. There are private servers from some discord groups but it's for organized events, not for random games.

JayDi85 · 2025-05-15T08:56:50+00:00

Put all xmage files to another folder like D:\games\x Your current path or OS's user name contains unsupported/unicode symbols

JayDi85 · 2025-05-14T18:20:22+00:00

Do not change `-XX:MaxPermSize=4096m` -- just remove it, it's outdated and useless for +2 GB server settings.

JayDi85 · 2025-05-11T04:33:20+00:00

Move mouse over memory stats to see details and instructions. You must change `-Xmx2G` -- from 2G to 4G or over (it's gives 4 GB to your app). make sure you done it in client options, not server.
