- Development Announcement - 14 September 2022

- Land Spotlight! - 29 May 2022
“The shape of the world is a great mystery that is fiercely debated among sages, scholars, and random peasants. Some argue that it is flat like a disc, while others say it’s a sphere, and others still say it’s shaped like a doughnut. In any case, it is certain that there’s a place where the world ends, and this great and ancestral fortress is proof of this. What lies beyond it’s gates? Nobody knows. Whoever went to the other side never came back… and who did come back, uttered only gibberish.” Sometimes it’s very risky to cast all your spells and empty your hand. You never know when you’ll need a Chain Spell to avoid a massive damage that could take you out of the competition. But it may give you an upper hand if the End of the World Gates Fortress is at play, because that is one of the ways to spread your influence to it. As the end of the world means it’s terminus, to own this card al…

“It has been said that philosophers might be the most suitable for ruling positions. Curiously, it’s usually philosophers who say that… This kingdom took that advice to heart, and not only does it have a philosopher king, it has lots of them. They spend most of their time discussing among themselves about ethics, meta-physics, and other such nonsense, thus leaving their subjects alone and leading to great prosperity in the kingdom. They are able to recognize great threats though, and will seek alliances with powerful wizards in order to protect their people.” At a point in some matches, land devastation can be a very common and fun thing to do, so we wanted a land that would interact with other land being destroyed, and Majestic Kingdom of the Wiser Kings was born! This land gives advantage to land devastation and the concept behind it is that, seeing a powerful wizard simply annihilati…

"Far to the northern regions, where the howling frost winds make even the rocks crack, the rough barbarians shrug it off like it's nothing. When they are not raiding and pillaging, they like to do feats of strength to show off their incredible might, like lifting longships, anvil throwing, getting hit by horse kicks without passing out and wrestling polar bears. Those who survive all such trials are deemed the worthiest warriors of their tribe." Virtually at every match, tons of damages are distributed around among the wizards, so we decided to give those poor souls some "advantages" when taking too much damage at once: they would draw attention of the self proclaimed manliest men around the world: the Tough Northern Barbarians. They applaud those who can endure great pain and let be influenced by a powerful wizard thar shares this common trait with them. At the gates of the village, on…
- Small Update - Patch 0.19.4 - 30 April 2022
• Each Wizard now has their own personality parameters for AI. • AI Wizards are now randomized. • AI Wizards now are able to take over certain Lands by paying their alt-cost. • The Language menu will be shown only when there's more than one language option. • Our ink-soaked goblins have toiled to create some more pretty pictures for the Land Cards. • Vaporized a bug where the appearance of Axl would leave AI Wizards babbling and confused, unable to cast spells.
- Small Update - Patch 0.19.3 - 28 March 2022
Bug Fixes • Devastated a bug that caused the AIs to compulsively put the Lands to waste. • Smashed with a book a bug where a Wizard taking too much time with their Unstoppable Research could become lost forever.
- Small Update - Patch 0.19.2 - 26 March 2022
Tweaks • You can now set the amount of players in a game in both single player and LAN modes. • A dead Wizard is not required to acknowledge cast spells by pressing "Continue" anymore. Bug Fixes • Squashed a bug where divisions by zero could make the AIs go even more crazy. • Eliminated a bug where a reference to something that shouldn't not exist could break the time-continuum. • Zapped a bug where a Wizard could exploit the passage of time to get away with more Spells than they should. • Banished a bug where summoning the mighty Kraken with less than 8 Lands in game could cause it to be way more disastrous than it's ever supposed to be.
- Small Update - Patch 0.19 - 19 March 2022
• Added a Tutorial Mode. Now you can try the Tutorial for Master of the Wizards! To show you the rules and how the game works, we summoned Axl, a transmutated wizard that knows about everything in Master of the Wizards, but don't have enough power to compete for the title. This little fellow will accompany you in a small match to clarify how some Spells, Lands and Resources work. Hope you have fun trying to be the next Master of the Wizards!

- Wizard Spotlight: The Summoner - 12 March 2022
Nyanko, The Summoner Bounded with cute magical creatures, friendly and kind elementals and unspeakable horrors of dark dimensions, she uses all her summons to fight by her side, whether they like it or not. Don't be fooled by her apparent sweetness, for her cruelty is inversely proportional to her size. Likes Compelling power, cute creatures, cartoons Dislikes Ugly creatures, insubordination, sour candies Nyanko is an young and powerful wizard with the affinity to summon and control all sorts of creatures from the most different places and dimensions. She loves them all equally and if they don’t love her back, she just force them to! We wanted to add to the game an homage to JRPGs and anime, so we thought that a Magical Girl kind of character would be a very interesting and funny idea to implement. It would be a different style of character from the others so far, but that still fits ve…
- Wizard Spotlight: The Necromancer - 11 March 2022
Xarg, The Necromancer Using his death magic to raise zombies, skeletons and ghouls, he intend to conquer the realms with his army of tireless and relentless soldiers. Many a peasant who dared voice their opinion against his music later became an undying fan. Likes Unrestricted power, death metal, cheap labor Dislikes Healers, gospel music, crematories Xarg just wanted to be a singer, but his detractors said he had no talent for that… he then studied the dark necromantic arts for years and came back to change their mind. And that’s how he got his first fans. We knew that adding a necromancer to the roster was a must, a wizard that deals with the forces of (un)death is a classic villain archetype. And to go with this theme his appearance is cadaveric and rigid, with lines straight out of a coffin. As fans of heavy metal we also thought it would be funny to have a necromancer that likes de…

- Wizard Spotlight: The Witch - 6 March 2022
Evilra, The Witch An ancient (don't say it to her face!) master of curses and dark arts, she uses her wit and cunning on her path to greater power. In her arsenal of potions and obscure resources, she can always find a way to achieve what she wants, whatever it takes... usually for others. Likes Unstoppable power, cats, causing misfortunes Dislikes Probably you, mobs of peasants, sunny days As a wizard battle game, we couldn’t let a Witch out of the party! The main idea for this character was to create a witty, cunning and empowered goth spellcaster, and with that in mind, we’ve made Evilra! We wanted to give her an impression of a moving shadow/darkness in the general look, so we picked black as her main color, using it on her dress and hair. As the draw lines are also black, we choose to paint grey the black intersections, so it would be easier to understand the dark masses around the…
- Wizard Spotlight: The Druid - 5 March 2022
Grurrr, The Druid As a nature lover, he roams the wilds in search of powerful foes to test his might, for since his childhood he thinks humans are puny opponents. Once a badger bit his head on a confrontation. He wears it to this day to prove his incredible resistance. Likes Innate power, nature, punching strong animals Dislikes Weak nature, crowds of people, cute animals Grurrr is gruff, wild and smelly. He aspires to be the an apex predator and acts like one. This was the initial concept idea we had from him and so we could make some choices for his appearance. As he fights many wild beast, Grurrr is very bulky and physically strong, unlike the other wizards. To create a more interesting and funny character, we diverted from the “hippie druid” path: Grurrr says he loves nature, but he doesn’t seem to treat it very well. We tried to represent this feature on his clothing, like using a…
- Wizard Spotlight: The Pyromancer - 4 March 2022
Helliana, The Pyromancer A very powerful, passionate and warm-blooded magic user, she can cast an infinity of miscellaneous spells like fireballs, firebolts, firestorms, walls of fire and a thousand more. Her repertoire is quite enviable. Likes Unquenchable power, hot baths, fireworks Dislikes Thinking before acting, ice cream, being told to chill We wanted to make a reckless, “act before you think” character for the game, so we thought a pyromancer would be a great addition. With this initial concept, we designed Helliana! Helliana is a impulsive and hotheaded pyromancer. Since her powers and personality matches, we opted to use warm colors on her color scheme to easily show those characteristics. Although she possess a great magic control (only when she wants to), we gave her a blacksmith inspired outfit to protect her from her own fire spells.
- Wizard Spotlight: The Scholar - 3 March 2022
Fumbledolphus, The Scholar Holder of an IQ of 382, he is the most knowledgeable Wizard of all (by his own account), writer of thousands of tomes on magic theory, and founder of the great Academy of Arcane Arts. He keeps lots of secrets under his beard and robe. Likes Unlimited power, riddles, being right about everything Dislikes Unreasonableness, greasy hands, losing an argument The main idea for Fumbledolphus creation was the common pop culture wizard: a wise, old and powerful spellcaster with a pompous name and a magnificent beard. We chose to make him with a long cloak and beard to build a mysterious aura to the character and, to take advantage of this detail, we thought it would be funny if his hands went through his beard. We’ll have more exciting details about all wizards soon! Stay tuned!
