Known Issues

Issues list | Open

- Commander 2014 cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Commander 2014 cards. It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

- New Khans of Tarkir cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Khans of Tarkir cards. It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.

- Continued Work on Conspiracy -
Conspiracy is one of the strangest sets that have been released in some time. Currently, we have a few of the "Draft matters" cards scripted, although you'll find that they won't quite be available to you (unless you add them manually into a draft deck). Hopefully we'll get the appropriate functionality in so we can start including them in boosters and allowing you to add Conspiracy type cards straight to your deck the way you do every other variant card. We'll make sure to point out when all of these kinks have worked themselves out.

- The Mac OS application version -
We can now package Forge as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process.

The Mac OS X app version apparently requires the Mavericks OS and is not compatible with earlier OS X versions. People with earlier OS X versions should use the Windows and Linux version and launch forge on their Mac by double clicking on the included "forge.command" file.

- Magic 2015 cards -
It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.

There is a known issue with the cost reduction for cards that have color-locked X in their mana cost (e.g. Drain Life, Soul Burn). Cost reduction will not apply correctly to these cards if the amount by which the cost is reduced is greater than the amount of colorless mana in the mana cost specified on the card (e.g. 1 for Drain Life, 2 for Soul Burn). Fixing this issue likely requires rewriting the way announced color-locked X is interpreted and paid (most likely it has to be represented with colorless mana shards but still locked to the colors required by the card).

Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.

Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with each other. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).

A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there is one remaining issue that we hope will be addressed in the near future:
Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.

The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.

The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.

[Hexadecimal]

Most bugs that I've reported in previous thread has been fixed, thanks devs!

[Marek14]

Goblin Heelcutter is listed twice in FRF section.

[slo-moe]

Thank you, thank you for your work on this! Especially for giving us Sidisi

And thank you to whoever fixed the ConcurrentModificationException that used to occur when Banishing Light gets destroyed. I tested and got my exiled creature back with no issues. Thanks!

[Bundy]

Emblem of Elspeth, Knight-Errant only makes artifacts, enchantments and lands indestructible. Creatures don't get indestructible.

[mastroego]

14353 (144) / 14497 = 99.01 %

(I believe this is the first release over 99%)

[Marek14]

The "Forge Remaining" document lists Wishmonger among the unimplemented cards, but it has been actually implemented for a while.

[cc-drake]

I have a little problem with Rotted Ones, Lay Siege - when one of my enemies dies, the game gets stuck during attackers declaration since the game demands me to attack a dead player.

[Doomlord]

Bug report: Death triggers of copied permanents always trigger twice when the original is still in play. Example: I play Cathodion, and copy it with Mirrorworks. When I then sacrifice the copy to Trading Post, I get two triggers that each add 3 mana to my mana pool, where I should have only gotten 1. If I sacrifice the original instead, I get only the one trigger. If I sacrifice the original and then the copy, I get the correct amount t of triggers: One for each. But if I sacrifice the copy and then the original, I get three: One for the original and two for the copy.

The same applies if I copy the Cathodion with Clone or Sculpting Steel, so it's not a problem with specifically token copies. I also tested it with other permanents with death triggers, and this bug seems universal, so it's likely not a problem with just Cathodion. (Or at least it shares the problem with Moldgraf Monstrosity and Spine of Ish Sah, which were the other cards I tested.)

This seems to only apply to death triggered: When I copy a permanent such as Recycle with a non-death trigger I seem to get the normal number of triggers for each triggering event.

[muppet]

phasing still does odd things like phasing out all tapped permanents in your upkeep.

[serrasmurf]

I activate Mindslaver
The game finishes (doesn't seem to matter who wins and whose turn it is)
The game freezes (waiting for opponent or something like that)


edit: same kind of crash happens in other games, so it might not be related to Mindslaver

[Mattias]

Is it a known issue that some/all draft formats go backwards? Drafting Mirrodin right now and first pack is 5th dawn. Or maybe this has been fixed in this version? Afraid of updating just yet as I dont know how to without losing saves.

Is it a known issue that some/all draft formats go backwards? Drafting Mirrodin right now and first pack is 5th dawn. Or maybe this has been fixed in this version? Afraid of updating just yet as I dont know how to without losing saves.

Wizards changed the order in which packs in a block were drafted at some point in the past. The most recently released Edition is drafted first so that set would be more likely to have an impact. (When drafting 2 of 1 set and 1 of another set, cards you get in the last set are pretty much meaningless to your draft strategy)

Your data should be saved to your local save directories (such as application data) and should transfer seemlessly from one version to the next.

[Mattias]

From the official announcement:
For Magic Online, this change will take effect with Mirrodin Besieged and will apply to Scars of Mirrodin block drafts and to future releases unless otherwise stated. This will not affect older draft formats at this time, though as always, Wizards of the Coast reserves the right to look at our organized play offerings and make changes as necessary.

Cool, then it is not a bug, just a misunderstanding

I, dont know on the other hand if they made an additional announcement about previous sets before besieged, but afaik, from streams I've seen from older blocks the old order remains.
