Collectible Card Game Headquarters

version September 2013 v2

Exalted Angel should not have lifelink even though it has an ability that mimics it. This normally doesn't matter, but if an effect gives lifelink (which doesn't stack) it does. Ex. if an Angelic Skirmisher gives all creatures lifelink then an Exalted Angel should deal x damage and you should gain 2x life, but manalink assumes Exalted Angel has lifelink and so it doesn't stack and you only gain x life.

Plenty of other cards like that, too, since WOTC can't make up their mind whether to errata them to lifelink or not.

so are they all coded as lifelink, or did they just copy el-hajjaj (sp?) code?

They're explicitly coded as lifelink.

So,are we going to fix this cases or wait Wizzards...to merge them to Lifelink.

Well, fix them, of course. I'll take responsibility.

About half-done in bfb4e10. Haven't done the until-end-of-turn versions yet (Flash Conscription, Genju of the Fields, Paladin of Prahv forecast ability, Stir the Pride, Vigorous Charge), and they won't interact any better with wither/infect/planeswalkers/ Platinum Angel -like effects than Spirit Link currently does.

And the remaining 4½ fixed in 125907c.
