[Fixed] Bug Archive

[0rion79]

Describe the Bug:
Abundance does not always works as supposed. Occasionally, it stops working at all after a couple of rounds. Also, interaction with other cards is messy: I was using it in Constructed too, with Rowen. At the beginning, it was going fine, because I could choose which enchantment activate first and so I would use Abundance to choose "Land" and Rowen to draw twice. Then the game forced me to trigger Rowen first. When I added Sylvan Library, I couldn't understand anything because it was a total mess (probably unfixable).

Which card did behave improperly ?
Abundance

Which Version did you use ?(Constructed, Limited)and which update(date,name)
Constructed & Custom, last release

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Abundance should work each time I draw a card. Also,

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Sylvan Library (which occasionally is still messed up by Rules Engine), Rowen (most likely, this last one in Custom only).

Describe the Bug:
As you can see from the attached image, Lovisa Coldeyes behaves unproperly with Warrior creatures. As far as I've seen so far, she activates the +2/+2 ability more or less as primal forcemage: "when another barbarian, warrior or berserker creature enters the battlefield under your controll, all other creatures of those types get +2/+2 until end of turn."

Ver: Custom updated with 17 July 2011 v.2 patch

Glissa the Traitor doesn't have the Zombie subtype she has only the Legendary,Elf in the editor.

[Gargaroz]

I can fix that via an hack to the code.
As usual, if someone can provide a list of every creature affected by this issue (aka cards with more than 2 subtypes or 2 subtypes + supertype Legend), I could include them all.

[Gargaroz]

Ah, I could fix that too but, you know, Emraukul is banned from EDH.

[Gargaroz]

Bad coding is bad, I'll fix that.
Edit : Fixed.

[0rion79]

Ah, I could fix that too but, you know, Emraukul is banned from EDH.

But what about Karn? O_o And the other Legendary Eldrazican't be used as well.

Anyway, just for the joy of conversation, why Emrakul can't be used as Commander?

From Sheldon Menery, level 5 judge about off colour commander :

BANNED
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

This is one on which we listened heavily to what the community was saying, and nearly without exception, everyone hates Emrakul. It’s a card that makes the game devolve into a war over a single card whenever it hits the table. Add to that the fact that its combination of abilities made is seriously unfun to play against. We had already had our eye on it, and when the community spoke, we listened.


RULES UPDATE
Color Identity (which will be added to the Magic Comprehensive Rules)

Rule #2 is amended as follows:
When building a Commander deck, the mana symbols in the text box are just as important as those in the cost of a card. The Commander’s color identity restricts what cards may appear in the deck.

* The color identity of a card is the colors of all mana symbols on the card, along with any color defined by a characteristic-defining ability (CDA) in the card's rules text.

* Cards in your deck may not have any colors in their color identity not shared by your Commander.

* Mana you produce of colors that are not in your Commander’s color identity is colorless instead.

* Mana symbols in reminder text are not part of color identity.

The major impact here is that there are a few Legendary Creatures who no longer invalidate themselves as Commanders: Memnarch, Bosh, Iron Golem, Thelon of Havenwood, Daughter of Autumn, and Rhys, the Exiled. It means that you can have these creatures as Commanders, and you can generate mana of their color identity (so if you’re playing Memnarch, you can generate blue mana, or if you’re playing Thelon, you can generate black and green).

The RC spends quite some time considering the needs of the format itself and the voices of the format’s player base, making an effort to strike the balance that while keep the format strong and healthy for a long, long time.

[Gargaroz]

Yup, if you don't mind, yes.

[Sonic]

Not at all.

I should say - the 3 lists are the most obvious cards filtered from the all three csv files.
I can pretty well guarantee that the list is not complete, as many of the older 'Type Text' entries were originally shortened to stop the confusion over which creature types were actually active on a card.

So if anyone, notices any glaring omissions to the list, feel free to add the card with the game version, the creatures full name and its full type text.

Ta.

Lol Thank you, Sonic! And have a good job, Gargaroz ) Since you have been able to code Chameleon Colossus, I was next to ask you the same thing... even better if you may also fix Rise from the Grave and similar spells. Actually, it doesn't give the Zombie subtype and is a little bit limited.

[0rion79]

Hi. I don't know if it is a bug, but I can't run any commander game with 3+ colors decks.
I've tried to use Xira Arien as first general, but the usual error message appears each time. Then, I've tried to remove suspicious cards but nothing, so I've tried with other 3-colors generals in different decks and still nothing.
Is it the same bug with Child of Alara?

[Aswan jaguar]

Check better the cards in your decks I used Xira Arien in the past Octobers tournament and if you change the 2 blue cards which have replaced others with Chainers Edict for example to have 105 cards it works like a charm,now.

[Gargaroz]

I tried Riku of Two Reflections and is working fine.
Could you post the decks, so we can try them for ourselves ?
