Thorsten Hacke contributed to the magefree/mage repository by focusing on core bug fixes in Java, applying expertise in card game logic and game development. Over two months, Thorsten addressed critical gameplay issues, such as correcting the Will of the Abzan card to support unlimited opponent targeting and updating the Sephiroth One-Winged Angel Emblem to grant life on death, both aligning in-game behavior with intended mechanics. Additionally, Thorsten resolved Shared Fate’s opponent targeting to respect range of influence, improving rule compliance and online play reliability. The work demonstrated careful attention to edge-case handling and maintainability through precise, traceable commit messages.

September 2025 focused on correcting edge-case behavior in Shared Fate interactions within magefree/mage. Delivered a targeted bug fix for opponent targeting to ensure only valid opponents within the appropriate range are exiled, addressing the interaction between the drawing player's range and the controller's range. The fix is addressed in commit 41b8f5788324d0cfe444eeb5d3dc189bdec9cb2b (#13839) and shipped to mainline, improving game rule correctness and online play reliability.
