Problem with the number of basic lands (solved)

[--Dream--]

So I have 8 non-basic lands on my deck and here's what my deck xml looks like (first 8 cards are the non-basic lands):

Code: Select all

<DECK personality="D13_KNIGHT_EXEMPLAR.XML" deck_box_image="D13_EXALTED_DREAM" deck_box_image_locked="locked" always_available="true" content_pack="0" uid="99" preview_card="exalted_darkness" is_green="true" is_white="true" >
<DECKSTATISTICS Size="2" Speed="10" Flex="6" Syn="10" />
<CARD name="SUNPETAL_GROVE_249736" deckOrderId="0" />
<CARD name="SUNPETAL_GROVE_249736" deckOrderId="1" />
<CARD name="SUNPETAL_GROVE_249736" deckOrderId="2" />
<CARD name="SUNPETAL_GROVE_249736" deckOrderId="3" />
<CARD name="RAZORVERGE_THICKET_209407" deckOrderId="4" />
<CARD name="RAZORVERGE_THICKET_209407" deckOrderId="5" />
<CARD name="RAZORVERGE_THICKET_209407" deckOrderId="6" />
<CARD name="RAZORVERGE_THICKET_209407" deckOrderId="7" />
(...)
<CARD name="FRACTURING_GUST_146759" deckOrderId="38" />
<CARD name="FRACTURING_GUST_146759" deckOrderId="39" />
<CARD name="AVEN_SQUIRE_276763" deckOrderId="40" />
<CARD name="AVEN_SQUIRE_276763" deckOrderId="41" />
<CARD name="AVEN_SQUIRE_276763" deckOrderId="42" />
<CARD name="AVEN_SQUIRE_276763" deckOrderId="43" />
<CARD name="SPIRIT_MANTLE_277120" deckOrderId="44" />
<CARD name="ORNITHOPTER_888206331" deckOrderId="45" />
<CARD name="SPIRIT_MANTLE_277120" deckOrderId="46" />
<CARD name="SPIRIT_MANTLE_277120" deckOrderId="47" />

Thing is, the game keeps ignoring the last 8 cards (starting at number 40) and adds basic lands instead. I end up with 20 basic lands no matter what I use (I tried <LandConfig minForest="5" minPlains="7" numSpellsThatCountAsLand="8" /> but it doesnt work as well). I looked into decks like Valakut and Strobe Red and it seems I'm doing it right, but for some reason it doesnt work :S

Hope someone can help me!

Maybe it's a stupid thing, but did you try to put the lands as the last cards instead of the first?

Yeah! Didnt work.

Tried listing the cards in alphabetical order, by mana cost, lands at the top, lands at the bottom... always the same problem: the last 8 cards are ignored.

Did you try deleting your profile? If that deck was saved before you added the 8 additional non-basic lands then it would only recognize the first 40 cards in the deck (those were the only ones that were saved to the profile). You could also work around the issue by changing the deck id to a new number (this would prevent you from having to delete your profile).

[pcastellazzi]

To change the minimum number of lands of certain type you need to add the following code to your deck xml.

Code: Select all

<LANDCONFIG minMountain="8" minSwamp="8" />


You can find an example here.

Yep, I had to change the deck id and that did the trick. Thanks guys!
