Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I'm trying to use this code for Recurring Nightmare, but it won't return itself to the hand for the cost of its effect so you can do infinite graveyard combos for 0 mana.

It seems the cost-returnself isn't working or it's formatted wrong. And I'm not sure how the ability is supposed to work properly but in game, it asks you to choose a creature to reanimate before asking which creature to sacrifice.

Just wondering if there is a better way for it to bounce itself, or if I will have to make something similar to deprive or Nulltread Beast or w/e it's called and just add an additional cost for an enchantment or something.

Thanks in advance.

You may try with:

Code: Select all

<COST type="Generic">
<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  Object():PutInHand()
</RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
</COST>


Thanks for the fix, it seems to work perfectly now, super broken still but fun to use.

By the way, would you guys know why Remand

seems to crash the game? The two instances I even got to make that combo, I passed turn right after the imprint and the game crashed, and then later, in response to a spell being cast, I tried to use the imprinted Remand, the game crashed. Remand and Isochron seem to work fine on their own, used them plenty of times without crashes, Isochron having Into the Roil imprinted or magma jet. (The second instance, a restoration angel was on the stack, and that card seems to have issues with a lot of things...)

The Isochron Scepter there is a little problem, you can use the following code:

Code: Select all

<ACTIVATED_ABILITY auto_skip="1" LKI_shield_effect_source="1" filter_zone="ZONE_IN_PLAY">

If you want to use shorter code as you were attempting to do the first time, you can do it, you just wrote the tag wrong: instead of "ReturnSelf", you have to write "Return_to_handSelf".

kpruss wrote:(The second instance, a restoration angel was on the stack, and that card seems to have issues with a lot of things...)

You seem to find all the crashing scenarios by yourself... the perfect bug tester!

About Remand + Isochron Scepter crashing, my guess is that it's connected to the use of ObjectDC in Remand... maybe because the played card is a copy, maybe because the original is exiled, I don't know. I'd try with a delayed trigger:

Be aware that it's just a guess, it might be of no use at all.

The code "ReturnSelf" I casually write, I didn't intend to complete this card.
I would like to know where to find these shorter code, I can only find in the official card, but I haven't seen the code "Return_to_handSelf".

The cause of the crash is the activated abilities forget increase LKI code, I have found this problem in the Hive Mind.

There isn't a specific code for paying by doing something to the card itself, it's just a composition of the generic code + "Self" (case-insensitive: no worries about capitals for those tags). So since "Discard" is valid, "DiscardSelf" is valid too; since "Remove_from_game" is valid, "Remove_from_gameSelf" is valid too; and so on.

Aha, that was it!
