Half-Implemented Cards

[friarsol]

Fabio, we don't have mana retrictions implemented yet. So cards like Grand Architect and Mishra's Workshop aren't available.

Sure, I knew it.
Infacts, I'm trying to bypass this putting in play a temporary token which changes the casting cost and the ability cost of every artifact card the player owns: "to reduce by" and "to be used only for" seems quite interchangeable.

Of course it is just a bypass, but I think it deserves at least a try.

This card works okay but is a hack. Also, the trigger on both cards is not removed at the end of the turn. I assume the zone changing is preventing them from being removed.

This one should be doable if Pump ever gets the ability to grant abilities, triggers, etc.

Why is this a hack. What do you need pump for?

Well, the trigger on both the targeted card and the chosen card is permanent. Perhaps there is a non-hack way of removing them after the changezone and sacrifice take place?

Unless the parameter "Permanent" is used, the effects of AF Animate should wear off at end of turn. If they do not it's a bug.

It is definitely looking like a bug.

Couldn't cards with Rebound have a workaround like this.

For Nomad's assembly.
When this spell resolves, exile it. Put a 1/1 white Kor Soldier creature token onto the battlefield for each creature you control. At the beginning of your next upkeep, Put a 1/1 white Kor Soldier creature token onto the battlefield for each creature you control.

Here's my hacked version of Saproling Burst:

Saproling Burst | Open

Oracle:Fading 7 (This enchantment enters the battlefield with seven fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it.)\nRemove a fade counter from Saproling Burst: Put a green Saproling creature token onto the battlefield. It has "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of fade counters on Saproling Burst."\nWhen Saproling Burst leaves the battlefield, destroy all tokens put onto the battlefield with Saproling Burst. They can't be regenerated.
End

Basically, instead of the tokens each counting the fade counters on the Saproling Burst that created it, that SapBurst has a state-based static ability that counts its own counters and sets the P/T of all the tokens it created.

Edit: Only problem I've come across is that if the tokens have been made indestructable, if Saproling Burst leaves the battlefield, the tokens correctly won't be destroyed by the last ability of the SapBurst, BUT they should die anyway because there would be no fade counters on the burst as it changes zones. I'll try add another trigger that sets the P/T to 0 when it leaves the battlefield then report back here. This should work because in the same situation, if one of the tokens have +1/+1 counters, it would survive. Edit2: Fixed. Also added the buff description to the tokens now. Fixed and committed to svn.

"River Kelpie" | Open

This card works well (with persist, flashback, etc...).The only problem I found is when a play lands from my graveyard (with Crucible of Worlds), the first trigger ability of the River Kelpie don't work.

END


I know almost nothing about programming with Forge and so obviously this card doesn't work right. I don't know how to get the card to exile after it resolves since Flashback actually had it's own thing. But in addition to that, it just doesn't work period. Upon loading Forge, it crashes. Hopefully this is in the right direction and will be easy to fix so that it works.

[moomarc]

I'll have a look in the morning, but the rebound part is wrong. It needs to be a delayed trigger with Mode$ Phase set to your upkeep which executes the spell with 0 cost. Must sleep now though...

@Sagephoenix: There were a few more problems with the script, but I got a mostly working version:

End

The main issue is that the card is only exiled after hitting the graveyard, not as it resolves, so cards like Leyline of the Void will exile it before the delayed trigger for the rebound part activates. The card is also not 'cast' from exile. So the trigger can be countered by cards like Stifle correctly, but the actual spell can't be countered. There may also be an issue with rebound activating even if the spell is cast from somewhere other than your hand. One of the more experienced scripters might be able to tweak it a little further.

[lazylockie]

The most simple solution I found for Rebound cards is just Flashback 0. It's a quick-and-dirty for "I just wanna play Staggershock" without having to think much on coding.

Here's a half implemented Sacred Mesa

"Sacred Mesa" | Open

Name:Sacred Mesa
ManaCost:2 W
Types:Enchantment Pegasus
Text:no text
A:AB$ Token | Cost$ 1 W | TokenAmount$ 1 | TokenOwner$ You | TokenName$ Pegasus | TokenTypes$ Creature,Pegasus | TokenColors$ White | TokenPower$ 1 | TokenToughness$ 1 | TokenKeywords$ Flying | SpellDescription$ Put a 1/1 white Pegasus creature token with flying onto the battlefield.

SVar:TrigSac:AB$Sacrifice | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ You | SacValid$ Permanent.Pegasus | SacMessage$ a Pegasus or Sacred Mesa
SVar:Rarity:Rare
End

I've added the type Pegasus to the enchantment, so you can either choose to sacrifice a pegasus token or the enchantment itself.
