Shadows over Innistrad spoiler season

[Hanmac]

thanks for fixing the Visions card.

for From under the Floorboards i tried your code, now i can pay X, but i still get Zero Tokens and Life, and i don't know what is wrong :/
"Player - trying to gain negative or 0 life"

i didn't tested the other two but they might have a similar problem.

Unless you have the very latest snapshot it won't work. The Madness.<true>.<false> didn't exist (even though you were trying to use it). If you don't see a card doing something already, you can't just assume the same thing works across different keywords.

yeah i did see the latest snapshots and it thanks for fixing it.

there is also a little bug in it:
also the when the Spell is in the graveyard the Spelldescription got overwritten which shouldn't be. (same for all other new same spells that does appear)

it does work, but for some reason it doesn't show any Oracle Text

Your GenericChoice doesn't have a SpellDescription.

You are missing the Attach Spell that is required for Auras. See Soul Seizer // Ghastly Hunting

For Infectious Curse:

Code: Select all

A:SP$ Attach | Cost$ 0 | ValidTgts$ Player | AILogic$ Curse


Additionally, you can't use Defined$ Self when a card is changing zones like that, you have to used TriggeredCard otherwise the wrong state of the card is used.

Fix in Accursed Witch

[Hanmac]

thanks me for helping me with Accursed Witch, it nearly does work as it should.

the only thing is that i can't get the cost reduce from Infectious Curse right. i did this:

Code: Select all

i did Harness the Storm

used parts of Bazaar of Wonders + Goblin Dark-Dwellers + Charmbreaker Devils

okay i was to fast happy with it, sharesNameWith does not work in ValidTgts or i am using it wrong.

also this does not work yet:

08.04.2016
Because you’re paying the spell’s costs, you can pay alternative costs, such as awaken costs and surge costs from the Battle for Zendikar block. You can also pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has a mandatory additional cost, like Lightning Axe, you must pay it to cast the card.

EDIT:
http://gatherer.wizards.com/ does have the specific CardRulings from SOI now.

Fixed To the Slaughter, now with storing the Variable first. (or is it still wrong?)

[friarsol]

Looks like SoI is up on Gatherer and mtgjson.com, so I'd recommend we start adding things to the trunk.

Marek,

Do you happen to have .txt files for your scripts? I know we talked about it last spoiler season, but forgot to bring it up at the beginning of this one.

[Marek14]

Ah, sorry, Sol -- it completely escaped my mind

[Hanmac]

i did try to add more cards like

Code: Select all

Name:Falkenrath Gorger
ManaCost:R
Types:Creature Vampire Berserker
PT:3/1
S:Mode$ Continuous | Affected$ Creature.Vampire+YouOwn | EffectZone$ Battlefield | AffectedZone$ Exile,Graveyard,Hand,Library,Command | AddKeyword$ Madness | Description$ Each Vampire creature card you own that isn't on the battlefield has madness. The madness cost is equal to its mana cost.

SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/falkenrath_gorger.jpg
Oracle:Each Vampire creature card you own that isn't on the battlefield has madness. The madness cost is equal to its mana cost. (If you discard a card with madness, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)

but it doesnt work yet like it should.

@friarsol i think there need to more changes for the Madness ability.
also when a Vampire with madness get another one, it should have TWO abilities with TWO cost. i don't know if the code can handle that.

08.04.2016
If you discard a Vampire creature card that already has a madness ability, you’ll choose which madness ability exiles it. You may choose either the one it normally has or the one it gains from Falkenrath Gorger.

===

also i did try to do Creeping Dread with sharesTypeWith but i can't get it to compare two cards :/ that is my current status:

Code: Select all

Name:Creeping Dread
ManaCost:3 B
Types:Enchantment
T:Mode$ Phase | Phase$ Upkeep | ValidPlayer$ You | TriggerZones$ Battlefield | Execute$ TrigDiscard | TriggerDescription$ At the beginning of your upkeep, each player discards a card.
SVar:TrigDiscard:AB$Discard | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ Player | NumCards$ 1 | Mode$ TgtChoose | RememberDiscarded$ True

SVar:DBRepeatEach:DB$ RepeatEach | DefinedCards$ Remembered | RepeatSubAbility$ DBDealDamage | SubAbility$ DBCleanUp

SVar:DBCleanUp:DB$ Cleanup | ClearRemembered$ True

SVar:X:Valid$ Card.IsRemembered+RememberedPlayerCtrl+sharesTypeWith Card.IsRemembered+YouCtrl

SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/creeping_dread.jpg
Oracle:At the beginning of your upkeep, each player discards a card. Each opponent who discarded a card that shares a card type with the card you discarded loses 3 life. (Players reveal the discarded cards simultaneously.)

==

the rest missing:

• Investigate would be better if we code it as a Action like Manifest
• for Briarbridge Patrol we might need something like Count$Sacrificed<Type>ThisTurn or something so we can use it for other later.
• for Erdwal Illuminator we might need a Investigate Trigger with a FirstTime parameter
• Crawling Sensation might also need some FirstTime trigger.

@friarsol do you want the txt of my scripts too?

[friarsol]

There's no way Falkenrath Gorger is doable right now. There's just no support for granting Madness. Choosing which Replacement ability applies shouldn't be a problem.

The RepeatEach line in your Creeping Dread looks wrong, you probably need to UseImprinted, although I don't know if that solves the problem.

If you have txt files of working scripts, you can zip them up and post them.

[Hanmac]

i will try to use UseImprinted later too.

i updated all code blocks in the forum, but i can attach them as zipped txt files too.

PS: can you checkout what i did wrong with Accursed Witch and Harness the Storm?

[friarsol]

ValidTarget$ in ReduceCost looks like it only works for cards. Might be able to do something similar to: Battlefield Thaumaturge

Otherwise, we need some code changes.


Harness the Storm is tricky, since certain things aren't necessarily available in the targeting code.

"TriggeredCard.samename" might do it, but it could just as easily not be doable right now.

[drdev]

Any estimate on when the majority of SOI will be merged into the main branch or released? The pre-release is this weekend, so it'd be cool if we could get something out by this weekend, or at least by next week.

I'm really excited to play with this set.
