Open Items:

-- Updated the targeting tags in Risky Move.

-- CW_CARD_QUERY_SPLINTERVERSE has been updated and uploaded.

-- Ivory Mask worked appropriately with Goblin Festival (which uses not_targeted on an opponent selection).

-- Open question viewtopic.php?f=109&t=15783&p=205606#p205596 (I repeat anything in this list that hasn't been answered so that people only need to check my latest post)

-- Goblin Spymaster http://pastebin.com/VeNsKCjQ gave me an error message that the token does not exist in the token list. I was using the latest version of the .wad.

-- Giant Oyster http://pastebin.com/h1XJYfTT everything works except the adding of the -1/-1 counters. It continues to add counters to the first target even after the Oyster has been untapped and re-tapped. I don't think my code covers that option, but I'm not sure what to add to make it so.

-- Telekinesis http://pastebin.com/NMjxK1ty everything works as it should except untapping of the creature after a few turns. It basically stays tapped forever.

-- The new reveal function (CW_General_RevealDC) isn't working for me. Here's the code I was using to test: http://pastebin.com/6rFPRUSN

Next:

Back tomorrow for more coding on missing cards.

1. When you need to prevent damage without any additional clause you can use one of the characteristics used in the official Fog: grant CHARACTERISTIC_DOESNT_DEAL_COMBAT_DAMAGE to the creature and it should be enough. I have never tested how this kind of characteristics would interact with unpreventable damage, I have always trusted the official Fog. If you want to test this aspect, feel free to do so.
2. In order to prevent the creature from untapping for 2 untap steps, I would have used target:TapAndHold(), then created a delayed trigger that calls target:Hold() on it at the beginning of its controller's next untap step (the previous "Hold" will be gone when the trigger fires, because the game untaps the permanents before firing beginning of untap step triggers, which is exactly what we want). Gatherer says that it doesn't matter if the creature changes controller, so you don't need to save the controller in delayDC, just save the target and make the delayed trigger fire when TriggerPlayer() == target:GetController() (where "target" is the appropriate card pointer containing it).

thefiremind wrote:About Goblin Festival, I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but did you find problems in using ChooseItem when there are players in the filter? Even if no cards used it before, I think it should work. You know I'm very picky on those aspects, but if you use a target (even with not_targeted), the choice is made before resolution, and it's not how it's supposed to work.
I used targets with not_targeted on that particular modal card because it was a very special scenario where the choices needed to be made before resolution.
