You're right, did a few searches for that and nothing came up. Stupid question but is there another mod I need to install? The only thing I changed before my game started crashing was updating to volrathxp's latest version (from 9/29/14 to 10/6/14), so I'm at a loss for ideas here.

What you need is mentioned in the very first post. Did you update all three of vxp's wads?

Ah I am sorry, the version of the PLW mod needed is the one that fallenangle posted in a recent post update on PLW mods thread. It includes Sarkhan and Sorin. As soon as I have the time I will provide a link in the original post (read - when I'm not dealing with new daughter and can get on my laptop to do so)

O.k., in the meantime, here is the link to fallenangel's version:
viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11615&start=255#p163250

That file fixed it. Thank you both for your help!

Updated the original post with the link to the updated PLW wad.

Bug report

When Brimaz, King of Oreskos attacks, no creature token is put onto the battlefield.

Updated the other wad to fix this.

Just a note that I'm not dead (yet!), and I am planning another update to this soon, that will bring cards from Invasion block into the mix. So, fun fun fun!

I cannot talk for everyone here, but i am glad you are still alive!

Not posting any Bug reports does not mean there are no bugs or issues. I still have not tested all of your latest decks. Right now I am explicitly testing Mardu Midrange, which is very successfull even against TFM's decks.

There seems to be an issue with Goblin Rabblemaster. Another thread describes crashes. I can not confirm that. But what I experience is, that the Goblin token produced by the Rabblemaster does not always attack.

I'm not sure about that issue. I've not had any issues with crashes myself but I have occasionally seen the attack thing. It's weird, not really sure what causes it.

I noticed your filter for rabblemaster making other goblins attack does not specify your own creatures. This will cause enemies' goblin to also be forced to attack and also allies' golbins should you be in a 2HG game. There's also a bit of code on Goblin Assault (TFM) which might be useful. It specifies that the goblins only be forced to attack if they haven't already that turn, relevant if you have an additional combat phase. I looked it up to be sure, and it's right: multiple combat phases: must only attack during the first. Finally, for the issue being discussed, I've tried adding reevaluates="1" to the filter as it appears in many cards that affect whether creatures can attack/block/damage. I don't know exactly what it does, but it seems like the right thing to do.

Neat, I will add that to the Rabblemaster code, and post a fix when I update next. Thanks for taking a look at that.
