Thanks! I'll search for an example in some cards.

Is this the one I coded? Are these my mistakes? Oops lol.
The trigger says simple_qualifier="controller" so it will only fire at the end of YOUR turn.
In the second resolution block, Count is used without being declared as a local.
filter:Count() is called and immediately follow up with filter:EvaluateObjects(). That will work, but evaluateobjects returns the count just like Count(). It does more but is a little slower, so use Count() if you can, but if you have to use EvaluateObjects(), then you don't need Count().
The second item prompt is never set.
Last, in the second resolution block, player is being set to MTG():GetNthPlayer(i), but not only is i undefined, but it should be TriggerPlayer().

The card does not say to shuffle your library. That whole block needs removed. Also, instead of using MoveLocalZone, just use DiscardHand(). Finally, don't reuse variables Last block: number is already used.

Actually, you need an intervening if. If you don't have a creature with power 4 or more at the beginning of combat, it won't trigger, and if you don't when it resolves, it should be countered. This is done with an INTERVENING_IF block.
In a filter, ZONE_BATTLEFIELD is the default. You don't need to declare it.
Note that the UTILITY_ABILITY needs to be completely outside of the triggered ability. This kind of ability can be done without the use of a utility ability, and they often are; but this is how the official cards manage it, so I'll copy that.

Soulfire Grand Master
I'm not sure this one is even possible. But have a look at this code provided by Xander9009 and let's see if it can be modified to create Soulfire Grand Master

Code: Select all

<STATIC_ABILITY>

      <TRIGGER value="SOURCE_DEALS_DAMAGE" simple_qualifier="objectyoucontrol" pre_trigger="1">

    </TRIGGER>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
         local Damage = Damage():GetGetAmount()
         if EffectController() ~= nil and Damage &gt; 0 then
            EffectController():GainLife(Damage)
         end
      </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>

    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[{2}{h}{h}: The next time you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand this turn, put that card into your hand instead of into your graveyard as it resolves.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>

      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
         MTG():CreateDelayedTrigger(1, EffectDC():Make_Chest(1))
      </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </ACTIVATED_ABILITY>
   <TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="1">
      <CLEANUP fire_once="1" simple_cleanup="EndOfTurn" />
      <TRIGGER value="SPELL_PLAYED" simple_qualifier="controller">
         return (TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_INSTANT) or TriggerObject():GetCardType():Test(CARD_TYPE_SORCERY)) and TriggerObject():GetErstwhileZone() == ZONE_HAND
      </TRIGGER>
      <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
         local delayDC = EffectDC():Make_Chest(1)
         delayDC:Set_CardPtr(0, TriggerObject())
         delayDC:Protect_CardPtr(0)
         MTG():CreateDelayedTrigger(2, delayDC)
      </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
   </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
   <TRIGGERED_ABILITY resource_id="2" replacement_effect="1">
      <CLEANUP fire_once="1" simple_cleanup="EndOfTurn" />
      <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_CONSIDERED" to_zone="ZONE_GRAVEYARD" from_zone="ZONE_STACK" pre_trigger="1">
         if TriggerObject() ~= nil and TriggerObject() == EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0) then
            TriggerObject():PutInHand()
            return true
         end
         return false
      </TRIGGER>
   </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

So, the two issues are that the first ability that should be triggering is labeled as a static ability and I type "GetGetAmount()" instead of just "GetAmount()". I don't know if there are any others, but that should fix it. HOWEVER, I realized that lifelink is a redundant type ability, not a stacking ability. If you have two Soulfire Grand Masters out, you shouldn't gain twice as much life. With this implementation, you would. So, I decided to try the simple thing and just grant lifelink to the sorceries and instants you control on the stack, and it worked. (I didn't know if the game's programmers would have included that functionality for non-permanents, but they did, so lucky us. )

EDIT: I forgot to filter for only tapped creatures on the one bolster card. Fixed now.

I was really tired when I posted. I thought I mentioned that the Archfiend of Depravity was your code. I did code one initially but decided to use your code since the one I created crashed the game. As for the modifications, thanks! And I'm glad to know that Soulfire Grand Master is possible.

No worries. I wasn't worried about not being given credit or anything. I was just embarrassed 'cause I had so many mistakes

[Tejahn]

Indeed. I've made plenty of coding mistakes. And all credit will be giving where credit is do. Speaking of which, I reached out to you in the Programming Talk section concerning Dash. Even after adding the extra snippet of code you provided the creature still returns to my hand after it dies or is exiled.

[dantar]

You guys are doing God's work. This is amazing. I don't have a lot of people to test decks against in real life.

Can't wait for the release, Hero's Blade, Battle Brawler, and Brutal Hordechief are the only cards I'm missing for my standard deck!

[Tejahn]

I'm passing along individual Cores to Xander9009. He is looking over the white mana core now for errors. I'll be sending him the others this evening. And since you need those cards right away I'll post those three cards for you this eve as well. Thanks for responding!

[Tejahn]

Battle Brawler

Brutal Hordechief

Here you are dantar. The .ZIP contains Battle Brawler and Brutal Hordechief. Request Hero's Blade in the Formal Request Thread or ask Xander9009 to provided it. I don't have access to my computer at the moment and I didn't upload the ARTIFACTS CORE to my Google Drive yet. I look forward to trying your deck.

[dantar]

Whaaaaat! Thanks man. Can't wait to give it a try.

[Artificer-]

I've been watching this post for over a month now. Can't wait for the set to come out I got a new some non meta decks In mind. Looking for mainly the izzet artifact's cards.

[Tejahn]

I know it's been a while. And the cores are being looked over to iron out any remaining flaws. But if you need only a few cards I can provide them. Xander9009 has been a lifesaver. He has created a lot of cards, finalized many, and is proofreading the cores on a mono-color basis. I initially thought the set would be ready for early February but something went awry for me in RL. Either way, I hope to release the set soon. Thanks for anticipating!

[Xander9009]

Just so everyone knows, I only got started on white last night and only for about 1.5 hours. I should be done with it today unless something unexpected pops up.

Do I need to smash these into a WAD to find them in the deck editor or can it read them as individuals?

[Xander9009]

In the deck builder, there's an option in Tools to Setup Custom Data Folder. Click that and then you'll have a new folder in your game folder with DECK BUILDER CUSTOM in the name. In that folder, a few levels down, you'll find the folder CARDS. Drop them in there.
