Fate Reforged Spoiler Season

[Kapoue]

Looks like Fate Reforged is up on Gatherer. Probably about time to merge the branch back into the trunk, so everyone can start testing the cards that have been committed.

Only 57 cards have been commited thus far. Since Marek and me did the bulk of the cards (mostly Marek though) and we don't have commit privileges, they are still waiting to be commited.

Official rules are up:

Ethereal Ambush rulings seem important.

It's been a while since I've put together a card for Forge, so I wanted to see if this was correct before testing (and I may not have adequate time for testing but it's hard to say).

Archfiend of Depravity (FRF #62) | Open

Code: Select all

Name:Archfiend of Depravity

Oracle:Flying\nAt the beginning of each opponent's end step, that player chooses up to two creature he or she controls and sacrifices the rest.

This script need a parameter "TargetControls$ True" in ChooseCardEffect, otherwise that opponent may choose creatures among all creatures on the battlefield.

Like this? I don't think I've seen a "TargetControls$" modifier before. (Tried playtesting but Forge wouldn't let me a play a game with the card.)

Code: Select all

SVar:TrigChoose:AB$ ChooseCard | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ TriggeredPlayer | TargetControls$ True | Amount$ 2 | Choices$ Creature | ChoiceTitle$ Choose up to two creatures | SubAbility$ DBSacrificeAll | RememberChosen$ True

I just want to quickly point out that I'm still unclear about what to do with this card. For some reason I'm still unable to test the card in Forge, so doing variations to see what works isn't currently an option for me.

I committed that card several days ago.(r28547)

Could someone give them commit privileges? Most scripts are good and I'm too busy to commit all the remaining cards. The oracle texts are not necessary at this point because they could be generated automatically using a python script (oracleScript.py) after updating magic data.

Sure added.

Thanks for the privileges, though I must say though that I'm really not 100% sure how to use them. Do I need any specific software?

You need a program that will allow you to work with Subversion (SVN) repositories. Personally I'm handling this from the same development environment I'm using to code in Java (NetBeans, and Eclipse can do it as well), but if you don't have that up, I think any modern SVN client should do (e.g. TortoiseSVN or whatever it's called). You may want to read a tutorial about checking out a SVN repository (= downloading it to your PC) and then committing the changes you made to the SVN repository (= uploading them to our SVN repository). Ideally you'll want to read a tutorial (or watch a video, etc.) related to the specific program you decide to use.
There's also this informative page related to setting up a full-fledged Forge development environment (I think it's geared towards using Eclipse; setting up NetBeans is similar and even easier): http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge ... Subversion

Hm, I have Tortoise.

Hm, I have Tortoise.

Yep, that should do great!

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't committed as an incomplete version. If it was fixed, thanks

Not sure if I will find time to acknowledge myself with the Forge SVN repository this weekend because of prerelease and stuff.

Oracle update is up at http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/ar ... 2015-01-15. Functional changes:

Modification to Atalya, Samite Master, Crimson Hellkite and Crypt Rats, changing requirement to pay mana of specific color to activate the ability into paying mana of specific color to pay .
Adding "nontoken" restriction to condition on Beasts of Bogardan.
Daru Stinger loses the creature type "Human" because it gave unfair boost with amplify.
Creature type "Anteater" is removed; Prowling Pangolin is just Beast now.
Renegade Warlord's creature type is changed to Human Soldier (from Human Warrior)

If you want, you can upload your submissions in a zip file somewhere and link it to me (here or via PM) and I'll commit them to SVN for you.

[Marek14]

Well, to be honest I only composed them in the posts here -- I don't have them actually archived...

[Agetian]

Do you happen to have a list of which ones are still awaiting submission to SVN?

- Agetian

[Marek14]

Well, I haven't tried to figure out the SVN yet, but I put my name to everything I did in the Forge Upcoming list.
