Card Contributions

That script doesn't work because the trigger will work in any zone. Even the hand or library.

I see. Still, the way Riders currently handled leaves out the bug I've reported several times: when Riders bounce themselves, soldier token aren't created. Can someone take a look into that ?

Since Friarsol implemented Psychic Theft it reminded me of another similar card not yet in Forge. I playtested this briefly, and it seemed to work, but as almost always, there's probably something wrong with it.

EDIT: Lol, I knew something like that was coming although the other cards I was basing this off of didn't have anything like that. Fixed. Thanks again, Friarsol, and congrats on your new arrival.

It also needs a LandPlayed static trigger like Grinning Totem does to clear the effect.

I don't know if it's the right Thread for it, but for one of the cards I want to script from Oath I need "withDevoid" similar to "withDeathtouch" or does that already work?

I've been wanting to script Chaos Orb as it works in Old School 93/94 format, having to target a permanent instead of destroying everything it touches. It obviously can't be flipped, so I'm assuming the players get 100% accuracy with it.

What I could come up was 1, T, Sac Orb: Destroy target permanent.

But that's not perfect for 2 reasons:
1) Chaos Orb doesn't target.
2) You don't sacrifice it, but instead it is destroyed upon resolution (so you can combo with Guardian Beast).

Any way to implement this?

This is how it looks now:

Code: Select all

Name:Chaos Orb
ManaCost:2
Types:Artifact
A:AB$ Destroy | Cost$ 1 T Sac<1/CARDNAME> | ValidTgts$ Permanent | TgtPrompt$ Select target permanent | SpellDescription$ Destroy target permanent.

If it works, I'll take it
Thanks Marek!

I've tried this out and it seems to work as I would expect when I cast it. However, when I try to put the card in play for the CPU (with plenty of valid targets) it won't go onto the stack. Any suggestions?

Looks right to me, I quickly took a peek and the AI for EachDamage (forge\forge-ai\src\main\java\forge\ai\ability\DamageEachAi.java) is a bit... lacking. We can mark this script with:
SVar:RemAIDeck:True

so the AI won't add it to its deck for limited, and users will get a warning about it for Constructed play. Basically the AI here would need to be expanded to consider targeting creatures too, and looking briefly, it doesn't even seem to be doing what it already does properly. It's not even tabulating up the damage, and not considering the multiple damage sources.

So one idea I considered in the script was using RepeatEach and then DealDamage individually but forcing the same target each time. Not sure how the AI would handle that, perhaps just aiming to kill whichever creature the first of the Each could kill on its own. If that's so it wouldn't be optimal, but perhaps at least usable by the CPU then?
