Formal Request Thread

Working perfectly now, thanks. I hadn't thought of snagging TFM's as a template - opening the LOL out of D14 was garbled.

When Theros comes out we'll need to check all the new creature types and agree about an order for their declarations: if we don't use the same in all mods they will be incompatible.

I would like to request Riftsweeper, if at all possible.

That makes sense. If I decide to release my Duel Decks in the meantime, I'll be sure to leave those files out.

Also, speaking of Theros, I need help with part of the activated effect from Shipbreaker Kraken. Monstrosity has been no problem, but the DURATION portion isn't working with multiple targets.

When Shipbreaker Kraken becomes monstrous, tap up to four target creatures. Those creatures don't untap during their controllers' untap steps for as long as you control Shipbreaker Kraken.

[MC Brodie]

I think tap and hold is a set function that is designed to work for only 1 turn. There is a boolean characteristic for "does not untap". You can apply itwith a continuous action and the duration block you have. Search the thread for Somnophore.

Why in do I always get problems when having two+ instance or Haze in play?

[MC Brodie]

What happens? I can't test it because I'm at work. My guess is that both haze1 and haze2 delayed triggers get cleared at the same cleanup step. Since the cleanup step isn't skipped, it could trigger for both hazes. I could be very wrong though.


I thought of taking an extra turn instead of phase as well but this might conflict with others cards. For instance it might transform one of thefiremind's cards since all steps were skipped and no spells were cast. Though maybe it should. I never played with a transform card

Right. it's not a good idea to give another complete turn. my previous code was better than this. I guess I'm being desperate. I also think that skipping the beginning phase with SkipPhase() doesn't act like skipping the 3 beginning steps with SkipStep().

[MC Brodie]

What if you gave the additional beginning phase just before the first main phase? Like:
1st Untap Step - nothing
1st Upkeep - nothing
1st Draw - skip
1st Step Main 1 - pre_trigger give additional beginning phase
2nd Untap Step - skip
2nd Upkeep - nothing
2nd Draw - nothing
2nd Step Main 1 - actual 1st main phase

Hopefully this prevents additional main phases from generating.

Hopefully this prevents additional main phases from generating.

when the 2nd Untap Step happens, if there's another haze in play , during the second Untap it will make the other activate another trigger. see this whole delayed trigger is bound to fail we can make one draw 2 cards easily with Howling Mine... but this doesn't have something independent like TRIGGER_UPKEEP or TakeAdditionalStep(). I will put this on standby, until I see a similar card that actually works. this one reminds me of Ghostly Prison which I also tried to do and failed.

maybe it would operate with interrogation INTERROGATE_COUNT_PHASES but thefiremind said it didn't work.

Download the WAD files and put them in your game folder (I suggest you keep the original game folder and use the copy one for mod files in case it crashes the game).

Then download Riiaks_DotP_2014_Deck_Builder_v1.3.2.0_x86 (unfortunately I lost the link, but someone else can do it for you).

With the deck builder you can create your own deck now that you have the WAD files with the cards in them.
