Fatal bugs:

	The game will crash if life points exceeds 999 (untested - I've only
	got to 725 so far!!). You could try this in dungeons where your life 
	points (positive or negative!) carry over from duel to duel :->

Logic bugs:

	The AI does not cope well with your Spirit links on its creatures
	- it will keep on attacking with that creature, even if you gain life
	from it (I had cast 2 Spirit Links on Arkazon's 9/9 Colossus of Sardia
	and also used 4 Spirit Links on an opponent's 10/10 Leviathan!).

	Sylvan Library only works properly in your (marked) draw phase. Click
	on the "Draw a card", so you see the card and then click Sylvan Library
	as a fast effect to see the other 2 cards.

	The AI does not handle Circles very well when it has a Disenchant
	in its hand - I've seen it cast Disenchant on my Yotian Soldier instead
	of my COP: Red which would have won it the game!

	The AI has no idea that your Mishra's Factories can be turned into 
	2/2 creatures (or 3/3 etc) for defense, so it keeps losing its attacking
	1/1 creatures to them - sweet!

	The AI is also clueless against Deserts, it will keep attacking with its
	creatures even if they will die to the Desert effect (1 dmg at end of
	combat to attacking creature).

	If you have Nevinyrral's disk in play, the AI will play as if it 
	doesn't exist (ie continue to bring out creatures etc). Drop of Honey
	has a similar result.

	The AI has no idea about how to play against Rukh Eggs as well: I
	can attack with one and the AI will block with creatures, killing 
	the Rukh Egg (which means I get a 4/4 flyer at end of turn). Oops.

	The AI does not handle Mana Crypts all that well - in my humble opinion,
	I wouldn't have used them at all (unless they are fed to Atogs
	which I have seen the AI do). The AI puts Mana Crypts in play as soon
	as it can - often when it doesn't need them - and then there is a 50%
	chance of it taking 3 damage every turn until it kills itself!

	I have seen the AI play *no* land in its first few turns and actually
	discard land as well!!! I suspect this only occurs with a certain
	type of AI deck/creature but I don't know why.

	Ring of Ma'Ruf is from any card in the game rather than from your
	collection - Bronze Tablet here we come (let me just steal the 
	opponent's cards)!! A Bronze Tablet obtained by a Ring of Ma'Ruf is
	considered an external card to your collection and hence you don't 
	lose anything...this is a great way to steal those really cool cards:
	Moxes/Black Lotus etc.

	Tempest Efreet and Pandora's Box also involve creatures from outside
	your current collection.


	--- My thanks to Steve Baillie for the following:

	Aswan Jaguars hunt creatures from your collection rather than your
	deck and have been known to destroy a creature that wasn't listed.

	Cylcopean Tomb can only be used in your upkeep (mark the phase first).

	On multilands which include mountains, Conversion doesn't work
	correctly - the affected land may intermittently change from plains to
	its original state (may be fixed in a patch). 


	--- My thanks to Zoop for the following:

	Hi, i saw yer site and saw the bugreport about the magic: the gathering 
	pc-cdrom game, i own version 1.0 and i've seen a major bug! my opponent
	(an elder i believe) casted a verduran enchantress, and drew card for 
	every card he played!!! it didnt matter to him if the card was an 
	enchantment or not, he drew cards all the time, and when i tried to do 
	the same thing.... it wouldnt let me!!

	[I have seen the Verduran Enchantress gain a card even when I have
	Counterspelled the Enchantment-if I remember correctly, the Enchantress
	should only draw a card when she successfully casts an Enchantment.]


	--- My thanks to Ben Holliday for the following:
	Kismet auto targets you and there's no way (that I know of) to change it!

	[Seems weird, I will have to test with the most recent patch.]
