Who goes first alternates duel by duel. The results measure the bot as much as the deck: both sides are played by the same heuristics.
Goat is played under the oldest rules the engine has (2005 text for errata'd cards): every card works as it is ruled today, so this is close to Goat play, not exact.
Plays its Goat text (3 cards):
Still plays today’s text (one card): its Goat-era text differs, or may, and there is no period script for it yet.
Every duel is dealt from a seed, which the address keeps once you start: reloading the duel deals the same hands again.
Rules engine: YGOPro core (MIT), via koishipro-core.js 1.5.5. Card behaviour: YGOPro card scripts @ b83db1cc3f (GPL-2.0). Deckhand fixes 10 of them in every duel: utility.lua, which every card script shares, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Black Dragon Ninja, Branded Beast, procedure.lua, which every card script shares, Elemental HERO Tempest, Portable Battery Pack, Tri-Brigade Revolt, Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II and Remove Brainwashing (GPL-2.0, derived from them: the fixes). In Goat duels, 9 cards play their period text through Deckhand’s own versions of their scripts (GPL-2.0, derived from those scripts: the Goat overrides).
