Shandalar - Program Bugs

[Korath]

This might be a manifestation of #535, or might be pre-sixth-edition damage rules (damage doesn't resolve until the end of the batch).

If the latter, it's going to be unfixable.

If the former, it should be working properly in Manalink. Ajani's Pridemate is one of the few cards in Manalink that has a proper gain-life trigger (most instead have hacks in gain_life(), so can't be ordered); and Shandalar uses the same mechanism.

[Korath]

It's broken in Manalink, too.

Handy testcase:

• Attackers: Ajani's Pridemate enchanted by Lure and Flight, Ajani's Sunstriker enchanted by Lure.
• Defenders: Cloud Elemental, Giant Tortoise

There's some chance it might be dependent on which damage gets processed first. If the human player is attacking, his cards' damage is dealt before the AI's; I'm not sure what happens when the AI attacks. In the test case above, if the human attacks with the Ajani's critters, both the Cloud Elemental and Ajani's Pridemate get 2 damage marked on them.

This will fix itself if and when triggered effects use a proper stack (since I'll be able to make damage resolve first), but I don't see a practical way to hack in an interim fix.
