19,000 uniquely printed cards and 2,000 rules. This excludes reprints like Basic Lands and staples like Lightning Bolt, Disenchant, etc. Can't forget that they frequently update or omit rules on cards. Some cards have errata because the become broken, like cards that would interact for infinity with... View More

I wonder if the DeepMind guys are on this, I'll have to have a look but I bet their systems can probably crack it!

actually it can get more complicated than that, I've seen 3k Dollar decks by a 40 year old get its ass kicked by a kid who spent his allowance on a 40 dollars worth of cards. You can get the right cards but there are removal cards, counterspells, discards spells, destroy all creatures etc. even card... View More

doesn't the fact that they just print non stop new cards and effects over and over again put it in a different category then games that are a fixed system? in other words, if every x amount of months equal to the amount of times they updated and printed new cards, if they did that with any other gam...

Very true is Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast best interest to keep making cards like they have with Dungeons and Dragons Material. They are a business after all. What makes it so complex is new cards added to a pool of 19000 uniquely printed cards, Each new Standard Block (about every 3 new sets) us... View More

a Simulation would be more like Risk or Settlers of Catan. It's a world builder, Magic isn't a world builder LOL if anything more Planes of the Multiverse of Magic have be destroyed than helped.
