* Editor / Add Lands - Fixed that land from sets could be selected (e.g. if you played MMA Sealed /Draft), that doesn't have all type of basic lands (e.g. Duel Sets). So sometimes it was not possible to add any type of basic land to the deck for sealed / draft match.

* Variable loyality payment - Fixed a bug that the -X payment of loyality counters was added insted subtracted. Prevented the possibility to announce x loyality counter payment, if already one planeswalker ability was used this turn.

* Spell Pierce - Fixed bug that caused "java.lang.ClassCastException: mage.filter.predicate.ObjectPlayer cannot be cast to mage.filter.predicate.ObjectSourcePlayer" error.
* Vampiric Spirit - Fixed not working lose life effect.


FIXES RELEASED - MAGE Dev 2014-03-15v2
* Fixed the "can only block flying creatures effect" (e.g. Vaporkin ). It was implemented as replacement effect instead of restriction effect which leads to dead locks in combat if it was forced to block a non flyer.
* Fixed that modes of modal spells resolved also if all targeted modes of a spell had no more legal targets and there were targeted modes (e.g. Cryptic Command). Should also fix same problem for parts of a fused spell.
* Triggered abilities are now posted to the game log with target information and by the time they go to the stack instead of the time they resolve. So targets in graveyard can be read in the log if not recognizable by graphical targets(e.g. Snapcaster Mage ).

* Budoka Gardener - Fixed that ability was targeted but shouldn't. Used new flip effect working correctly with copy effects.
* Serpent Warrior - Fixed that the lose life effect did no work.
* Thoughtseize - Fixed that game lock could happen if target player had no non land cards on hand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[MaroK]

I would like to inform you, that there is still a bug with the Thoughtseize card.
examples :
1.) Played Thoughtseize, opponent had 1 card. It was an instant an he played it in response. He had 0 cards left, but Mage still wanted me to pick one. No cancel, no skip, nothing... had to close the whole app and surrender.
2.) Same story, except the opponent had 2 lands. Couldnt do anything here aswell.
3.) Arcbound Ravager bug - I eated 5 artefacts with him, and wanted to move 6 counters to another creature. All artefacts were sacrificed succesfully, ravager aswell... however only one +1/+1 was moved to the target instead of 6x +1/+1

3.) Arcbound Ravager bug - I eated 5 artefacts with him, and wanted to move 6 counters to another creature. All artefacts were sacrificed succesfully, ravager aswell... however only one +1/+1 was moved to the target instead of 6x +1/+1

I can't reproduce this problem. I sacrificed 5 artifacts with Arcbound Reaver and let the stack resolve. Arcbound Reaver was 6/6 and had 6 counters. Then I sacrificed himself by activating his ability and selected another artifact. There were correctly 6 counters placed to the target artifact.

I suppose you did already sacrifice the Arcbound Ravager before the counters from the eated 5 artefacts are placed on the Arcbound Ravager. That would lead correctly to your described result.

If you didn't do this, please describe in detail what you do and in which order so that I can reproduce the problem.

"server error: Error loading card - wrench mind deck - null"

Ok, problem found. Did not use the newest version on server. I will upate the version used by server, then all will work as intended.
UPDATE: Server is now updated.

[JackSasfir]

It seems like I can't start 1 on 1 vs a computer in this new release.

Lets say I'm making a game against the PC on my own server I get this error:

"Servor: error loading card 'insert name card here' for deck - null"
and it produces this error with any decks, even the ones that come with the client.

And if I try on the public server I'll get an error like this :
"Could not create player computer of type Computer - Mad"
or
"A computer - draft bot player can't join this table"

I have been able to play against PCs in past versions but never in this one. I talked to my friends that were also able to play in past versions and it doesn't work for them either in this current release? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Which exact version do you mean?
AI player is working for me with MAGE 1.3.0.dev-2014-03-15v3 without problem.
One possible cause could be that you have only JRE6.x instead of JRE7.x installed or you use a 6.x JRE version instead of the 7.x.
Unintall if possible 6.xx JRE version.

And if I try on the public server I'll get an error like this :
"Could not create player computer of type Computer - Mad"
or
"A computer - draft bot player can't join this table"

That's expected behaviour because the AI player type is not loaded on the public server to prevent high server CPU load from using AI players.
Only there is a bug that the list of player types is not refreshed if you diconnect from your local server and connect to public server (I'll fix this in next version). If you connect to the public server first, you will see, that the AI player is not selectable.

I have been able to play against PCs in past versions but never in this one. I talked to my friends that were also able to play in past versions and it doesn't work for them either in this current release? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

As already said, only reason that comes to my mind is JRE version < 7.x.

You can post the relevant part of client & server log, maybe I can get a hint from that. Create an issue on https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues?state=open if you can't post here the log messages.

[Darkrug]

Sorry for my english
1) Sometimes in free for all play player A blocks instead of player B, and player B skips his block phase
2) Is it normal that in free for all play it is impossible to attack diagonally? + it is impossible to make a player who sits diagonally be target of a spell, even if it asks to destroy all creatures, diagonal player has undestroyed creatures and so on
3) When Player A attacks Player B with Golgari Decoy, game asks Player B to block with creatures that Player C controls
4) Stormtide Leviathan makes unable to attack with ALL creatures even if they have flying or islandwalk
5) If a Player controls Witchbane Orb he can't be attacked
6) if a Player A controls Leyline of the Void, and plays discard spell on Player B, Player B discards his hand, not only the amount of cards he was asked

Sorry for my english
1) Sometimes in free for all play player A blocks instead of player B, and player B skips his block phase

I'm not sure if I got this problem correctly, but it could be a problem of the now fixed opponent check in "Free for all" games. So test with v4 if this problem still exists.

2) Is it normal that in free for all play it is impossible to attack diagonally? + it is impossible to make a player who sits diagonally be target of a spell, even if it asks to destroy all creatures, diagonal player has undestroyed creatures and so on

This is controlled by attack range (default = 1 but you can change if you create the table). So yes this is normal for attack range 1 also that only permanents in range are effected from mass destruction.

3) When Player A attacks Player B with Golgari Decoy, game asks Player B to block with creatures that Player C controls

Could be the same problem as #1 but I will check this in detail.

4) Stormtide Leviathan makes unable to attack with ALL creatures even if they have flying or islandwalk

Bug is fixed in v4.

5) If a Player controls Witchbane Orb he can't be attacked

Bug is fixed in v4.

6) if a Player A controls Leyline of the Void, and plays discard spell on Player B, Player B discards his hand, not only the amount of cards he was asked

I can't reproduce this problem, which card for discard was used exactly?

[Grahf]

Knight of New Alara gets bonus from his ability.

[Darkrug]

6) if a Player A controls Leyline of the Void, and plays discard spell on Player B, Player B discards his hand, not only the amount of cards he was asked

I can't reproduce this problem, which card for discard was used exactly?

Opponent had 5 cards in his hand, i played Blightning and opponent had to discard all 5 cards, not only 2

cannot flashback Cabal Therapy

[The0retico]

I was able to fetch with Scalding Tarn while my opponent had Extirpate on the stack.
