Testing Phenax, always seems to mill for 0 unless I've done something horribly wrong

The one that torridus posted below? The problem is the SVar that is used in the Ability isn't being granted to the creatures you control. So it fails to look up what X means and defaults to 0.

Ah I see, sorry I'm very new to all of this, is there currently a way of getting it to work? I'm rather interested in how this all happens/works at the minute you see

Excellent and thanks for the link, I will certainly have a read through, I'd love to one day be able to help everyone out on this!

I also saw that several hours ago. It's glad to know that I've implemented Tribute correctly according to the FAQ.

Wouldn't Chorus of the Tides trigger outside the battlefield as well? For example, getting targeted in the graveyard by Cauldron Dance, etc.

Nope. Most abilities only function when they're on the battlefield. The card text will reference something specific about the zone they are in, if it's supposed to work outside the battlefield.

BNG booster images.

I've uploaded these (and some of the missing precons at last).

I don't suppose anyone could write me a script that compares the file names in /res/quest/precons with /res/lists/precon-images.txt [substring(48).replace("_", " ") and case insensitive]. I'm no good with reading from files and system, but it would be handy to be able to keep on top of this in future.

So since the full card list is up, and I believe Swordshine has updated all the blockdata, we should probably merge BotG back into the trunk so the trunk users can have a few days to test cards, especially if we're planning to release on Friday.

Additionally, we have some updates that Wizards just posted about that have generally minor changes:

@ Sol: I agree with your suggestion, I think we should go for it!

Done!
