You have two options:

1. Go to the folder Res/ai/baka. Make a backup of the files deckt1.txt, deck2.txt, and deck3.txt. Then overwrite deck1.txt with your own deck, overwrite deck2.txt with the deck you want your deck to play against, and remove deck3.txt. Then start the gamem click on "Play" and then "Demo". This will start random matches between all AIs, but since you've removed the third AI, the game will only see the first two AI decks. This means you have a 50% chance to see a game between these two decks (and a 50% to see one of the two decks playing against itself).

2. Download my GameStateDuel mod from this thread. This is a source code mod, so in order to use it, you have to replace the original source files with the ones from the mod and then recompile the Wagic executable. This post has instructions for obtaining and compiling the sources (but you know them already ). If everything works, then you'll be able to select the AIs that you want to play against each other. You can also select your deck as first (or second) player, and let the engine randomly select one of the other decks for your opponent. Or you can let your deck play against a "gauntlet", in that case it will play once against each AI deck, from first to last.

Caveat: the code in this mod has grown horribly convoluted (it was about the first code I wrote in C++ and for Wagic), so I wouldn't recommend it for general use. You can always revert the files to the "regular" SVN version by right-clicking on them and choosing "Tortoise SVN -> SVN Revert". Then you can build the official Wagic executable again.

may i ask where i can see the gauntler option?

It's on the bottom of the list of decks, near "Random" and "Cancel".

Hmm, it seems the files I uploaded (a while ago) aren't compatible anymore with the latest source code. There can't be much of a difference, probably there's just a line or two missing. But I'm not at home and can't fix it from here. You can either wait a couple of hours until I upload updated files, or you can try this: Find the files src/aiplayer.cpp and include/aiplayer.h, right-click on each of them, then choose "SVN Update" in the context menu. Tortoise (I assume you're using it) will then try to update the file you clicked on. Tortoise will then try to merge my version of the file with the most recent version in the SVN repository. If the differences are minimal, then this should work. If not, you'll get a conflict warning in red letters.
