TFM&G2K's Planeswalkers Pool v8g (12/Sep/2014)

garruk the veil cursed is buggy, you dont sacrifice anything even though you pick a creature, its just targeted and then the ability resolves as normal without sacrificing, doesnt seem fair

There was indeed a problem with his +1 ability, even though I would have expected the effect to be the opposite (sacrifice the creature without searching), anyway it should be fixed now.

For some reason the link to the file leads to a blog?

You can still just take the URL from the link itself but thought you should know.

Anonym2 works perfectly fine for me right now... either it was a temporary problem, or it's a problem on your side.

I can see the correct link, but for whatever reason anonym2 is redirecting me to a blog (some trip report blog page for voyagester) instead of the requested link (it even says it is redirecting to the trip report page). It could be a problem on anonym2's side and you aren't noticing it due to having the page cached or it could be a compromised DNS/cache server somewhere from an attack.

Either way I can reproduce ProdigyToby's result (at this moment) so it is not likely a local/client problem (could still be an ISP level problem if we happen to share the same provider).

Those anonymizers started to piss me off, so I replaced them with the failproof anonymizer: the code tag. Forcing people to copy/paste links avoids sending the referer.

so is there anyway for Liliana of the dark realms? i mostly use black cards and that would help so much lol

Koth of the Hammer, Liliana of the Dark Realms and Xenagos, the Reveler need RiiakShiNal's mana functions.

I wouldn't have written this if I hadn't included her in the pool.

[G36cBossMan]

YES!!! my bad should looked lol

I noticed something weird, I had my Vraska the Unseen stolen with a Blatant Thievery, after that I attacked with my Tarmogoyf which removed all the counters but the planeswalker stayed on the field.

That makes sense... if the opponent's deck doesn't feature Planeswalkers, nobody ever spawned his own invisible manager token, which is needed for the rules to apply. I have never thought about that... Planeswalkers should actually spawn an invisible token for each player, no matter what.
I think this should easily be fixed by changing

Code: Select all

PLW_CreateUniqueToken( "_PLANESWALKERS_MANAGER_991800002", "_PLANESWALKERS_MANAGER", EffectController() )

into

Code: Select all

for i=0,MTG():GetNumberOfPlayers()-1 do
   PLW_CreateUniqueToken( "_PLANESWALKERS_MANAGER_991800002", "_PLANESWALKERS_MANAGER", MTG():GetNthPlayer(i) )
end

...easy, but quite long to do, and I don't have the time right now.

Or you could change the underlying function, PLW_CreateUniqueToken(), to do the loop instead of changing all the planeswalker cards. The extra parameter (Player) could either be eliminated (Lua is nice in that extra parameters can be ignored) or you could leave the parameter and just not use it.

I partially followed your advice, and made a wrapper function that calls the old one for each player. This allowed me to use a mass-find-and-replace software for replacing a single line with a different single line.

I have another one for you, opponent AI had an Opalescence on the field and my Vraska the Unseen became a creature. Surely planeswalkers don't qualify as enchantments.



Edit: Although Vraska did die after taking 3 damage during combat after only having 3 counters.

That would be because Opalescence was not written to incorporate the Planeswalker approximations that were required to make Planeswalkers work in the first place. The Planeswalker approximations are partially Enchantments, but the combination type has the text set so that you don't see Enchantment on the card (even though it is there) and only see Planeswalker.

The solution there would be to re-write Opalescence to be "Planeswalker aware". Though this problem may occur with anything that affects Enchantments in a similar fashion.
