Yes, I saw that, and it's basically like I would have coded it myself. But I just added transform cards to my mod, I hope players will be satisfied for a while...

Are you aware that you need to exile instant or sorcery spells (which means they must be on the stack)?

Are you sure you dealt 1 damage to a player? The ability triggers only for damage dealt to a player.

ahhh. wasnt aware of that. will try that, and i think i jumped the gun on the ol dracogenius! thanks for the quick reply!

I've done a bit of testing, the new transform decks are very funny, i never know what those cards are going to become.

Only a couple of bugs to report:

-The first is related to the new mechanics. It looks like Reckless Waif uses the same conditions for the transformation as the others creatures in the deck.
When a player doesn't cast any spell in a turn she becomes a werewolf but if a player cast two or more spells she stays human.

-The second one is again Whispering Specter. It seems the update didn't fix him.
I tried to compare the code to the one of your last year mod, it's kinda similar, but it's too complex to understand for me.

I'll be happy to give more details if needed.


EDIT: Nope, i've just found out the Reckless Waif is only a translation error to Italian!
I didn't know the card 'cause i don't play the "real" magic

OK, this time it should work. I had forgot that the new trigger for dealing damage saves the damaged player as SecondaryPlayer rather than TriggerPlayer as the previous games did.

And this means that I know that card too well to read the text... I wonder how the back face's text ended up on the front face... anyway it's fixed now.

I think there's a problem with art of Bane of Hanweir (back side of Hanweir Watchkeep). The card has no colored frame and the art is stretched over the whole card just like the colorless Eldrazi cards.

Yeah, I had forgot to set its color. It's fixed now.

So does 2014 have the same issue with saving the number of customized decks being limited to a certain amount? It seems like sometimes when I put in some unlock cards the decks revert back to their original state when I restart the game.

Unfortunately, yes. The profiles always have a fixed size, this means that they can't contain an infinite number of saves. Nobody wrote the exact limit for DotP2014 yet.

Just an idea, I think it would be cool if you put some Promo unlocks as well, once all the Promo cards are out. Just an idea.

Actually, I already have a hard time finding 30 more cards to add, let alone 40... I usually end up adding more copies of the original cards when I don't have any different ones to add. Adding random cards that can fit only for the colors would ruin the decks' identity.

In your Windreaver,

this line -> EffectSource():SwitchPowerToughness()
should be -> EffectSource():GetCurrentCharacteristics():SwitchPowerToughness()

OK, fixed. I also fixed a slight imprecision on vampires that say "Whenever [this] or another creature/Vampire dies", which weren't considering the scenario where [this] could have stopped being a creature or a Vampire.

I have an interesting issue happen with a customized deck I made using Guile. I was playing against Chant of Mul Daya revenge deck, and I have Guile in play and a Counterspell in my hand, the PC casts Artisan of Kozilek targeting Primeval Titan in his graveyard. I use my Counterspell on the Artisan, spell gets exiled and I get the proper prompt of whether I want to cast the Artisan for no cost, I say yes and then the Artisan flashes to my side, and the game just hangs/crashes.

I can see where the game is confused on what to do, but made me think, what should really happen in real MTG? Since Artisan's ability is a 'when cast' ability, does it still trigger (pulling Primeval Titan into play), and then do I get the 'when cast' ability too?

Yes, I think that's what should happen. I guess what makes the game crash is the Artisan's trigger in conjunction with Guile's trigger... I'll try to find a workaround but I can't guarantee that I'll succeed.
