Forge Beta: 08-15-2014 ver 1.5.24

[elcnesh]

I try the double-Artificial Evolution gambit. I want to change "Soldier" on Catapult Master to "Wall", which requires casting second Artificial Evolution to change the forbidden type on the first one from "Wall" to anything else.
At the end, Catapult Master changed into a Wall, but I'm still not allowed to tap Walls to activate it.

I actually fixed Artificial Evolution working with activation costs yesterday

The changed Artifical Evolution on stack didn't display any text changes, not even the text change line -- what is the ultimate goal for displaying text changes? The text change notification lines plus changes in the text themselves?

[mastroego]

Mmm. A question of sorts, when I was using version 1.5.23 I could see all set images for cards with out restriction as of update .24 I cannot in my life fine the option to disable display by latest set for specific cards such as Akroma Angel of Wrath, it will bring up the Divine vs Demonic image, even though I have the Onslaught image as well. So my question is, how do I re-enable to see ALL set cards not just highest specif set for all cards?

It's under the Wrench button for list view. Uncheck "Unique Cards Only".

I'm trying to find this option as well, but I can't find this checkbox, there's nothing under the "List view" button.
Maybe it's not there for Quest Mode?

Ah yes, I also fixed that yesterday: the display of activated abilities and spells now also works correctly. Indeed, both the changes in the text themselves, plus the notification (in case the former fail to work properly).

BTW, thanks for the help in debugging these cards! It made it a lot faster and easier for me to receive your feedback. If you notice anything else, please let me know!

Well, the text display should be probably checked with all word forms.
For colors, there's only one term, but land types can appear as singular, plural, and in form of landwalk and landcycling (though that's not actually affected by text changes since nothing can change text in hand). For creature types thereis singular, plural and typecycling. And some words have irregular plurals (Plains/Plains, Dwarf/Dwarves, Kavu/Kavu etc., I think that anything ending in "-folk" like Merfolk or Moonfolk has identical plural?) -- plurals of creature types are necessary for things like Birchlore Rangers or protection.

. Walk the Aeons didn't give me the opportunity to pay the buyback cost when I cast it.

It's not there for Quest mode, but Quest mode should show all versions of cards by default. Is it not?

Are you sure you had three Islands out? It only allows buyback when you can actually pay it.

Oh it does.
I just figured that a toggle feature would have let me do the opposite.
Thanks for the clarification!

That might be it. I tested again, with 3 Islands, and I could use buyback

Description: I got this crash multiple times during AI Vs AI games in Quest Tournaments. It always happens during Declare Attackers, and it doesn't seem to matter whether it's in 10x or 1x speed.

Attatched is a screenshot of what was on the screen during the above crash.

Also, Sigil Captain's effect stacks, letting me put 4 +1/+1 counters on a 1/1 if I have two Sigil Captians. The Gatherer Rulings seem to suggest that shouldn't work:

Sigil Captain's ability has an "intervening 'if' clause." That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless the creature that enters the battlefield under your control is 1/1, and (2) the ability will do nothing unless that creature is still 1/1 at the time the ability resolves.
For that reason, two Sigil Captain don't work well together. When a 1/1 creature enters the battlefield under your control, the abilities of both Sigil Captain will trigger. When the first resolves, two +1/+1 counters are put on the 1/1 creature. When the second resolves, it will do nothing because the creature that entered the battlefield is now 3/3.

Can't post link to Gatherer page because new user.

[silphidae]

This happens when AI try to attack me, and when I have Rafiq of the many. Happens on declare attackers step. No matter what type of attackers.

When playing against blue AI deck in Quest mode (in Forge snapshot r27084), the opponent can successfully counter a creature spell even if its casting cost was paid with Cavern of Souls. I selected a card from the hand first and then I tapped the mana. Probably the first colorless mana ability of Cavern takes priority even if the casted card's creature type corresponds with the Cavern's chosen type.
