Latest Hotfixes
Patch Dec 26, 2025Patch V36.3 - The Strategic Pivot
Final Decision (Stable)- Increased Evolution Cycles: Extended Genetic Algorithm from 50 to 100 Generations to allow deeper strategy discovery.
- Gen 1-50: Red continued to dominate with ~60% Win Rate.
- Gen 70-100: Blue AI began to adapt, discovering complex defensive synergies we hadn't hard-coded.
Final Outcome: Blue successfully countered Red through strategy, not buffs.
"Key Insight: The fact that Blue could bounce back without engine changes proves the game has Strategic Depth. Control decks can beat Aggro if piloted correctly."
Failed Experiments
The Graveyard of IdeasExp V35.9 - Spot Nerf
Targeted Magmaros & Salamander with "Half-Pitch" rule.
Result: Red Faction collapsed (41% Win Rate). Deck lost identity.
Exp V35.8 - Global Buff
Changed pitch calc from floor() to ceil().
Result: Massive resource inflation. Turn 3 felt like Turn 6.
Exp V35.7 - Pitch Cap
Capped max mana gain from pitching to 3.
Result: High-cost Boss cards became unplayable "dead weight".
System Overhaul Marathon (Dec 25 - Dec 26)
The "Smart Brain" Update (GA Sync)
VerifiedProblem (Logic Conflict): Game Engine enforced Unique Limits (1 copy for UR), but GA didn't know this and kept stacking 3 copies. Engine penalized this as "illegal deck", causing AI to think good cards were bad.
Action Taken: Updated Deck Generation & Mutation logic to strictly respect rarity limits. Tuned "Mix Ratio" to 1.0 (Pure Strategy).
Result: 100% legal decks. Win rates now reflect true power levels.
The "Pitch Abuse" Hotfix
Fixed "Realix Turn-1 Boss" exploit. Realix cards now provide half pitch value (Rix/2). Combo patched.
Complete Skill Integration
Engine now supports complex keywords: SKIP_PHASE (Time Leap), SHUFFLE_INTO_DECK, COST_SACRIFICE.
Aura & Tax Fix
Fixed Glacius's "Attack Tax" passive not triggering. AI now calculates tax before attacking. Win Rate +13.5%.

"While Blue holds a slight advantage, this represents a Healthy Meta. Control is the natural predator of All-In Aggro. The game is balanced by counters, not coin flips."
🎲 Baseline Random (100,000 Matches)
"49.2% vs 50.8% is the definition of Perfect Balance. The game no longer favors a specific faction; victory is determined by skill."
