[DennisBergkamp]

New version, new cards (1666 in total now ), some fixes and other additions:

- Added land stacking and other GUI improvements (thanks to the guys from delvegames.com)
- Added keyword "This card attacks each turn if able".
- Fixed Siege-Gang Commander, its ability should be a non-tapping ability now.
- Fixed Chandra Nalaar and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, should not be able to use 2nd or first ability infinitely anymore.
- Fixed Nullmage Shepherd.
- Mycologist / Elvish Farmer AI infinite loop (crash) should be fixed now.
- Nemata, Grove Guardian and Sliver Queen should be fixed now (can't make a bunch of tokens, then cancel and untap all of your lands).

By the way, I just noticed there's a problem with Nova Chaser and Supreme Exemplar, they will not work if the championed creature is untargetable (shroud or protection). I will fix this for the next version, and add more creatures with Champion a {creature type}.

Thanks Dennis. Glad to see you fixed a lot of cards again and added some good new ones.
Fixing the Siege-Gang Commander and adding Mob Justice means my Kiki-Doll deck will get updatred again.
The fixes to Nullmage Sheperd and Nemata mean my saproling and elf decks get a boost, thanks for that.

Chameleon Colossus, now there's a card in need of deck!

Oh, and in memory of a past mistake I have to say this...
What do you get when you give lifelink to a Werebear?
A carebear!

Chameleon Colossus!? G/B ELVES!!!!...

Dennis, thank you very much for fixing Nether Spirit. I realize it's not a particularly popular card, but after deciding to build a deck around it just to see how it would work out, then discovering that it didn't work as intended, I was inspired to join the forum and ask about it. I appreciate you taking the time to look into it and repair it. Thanks to Chris H. for testing it out as well after I reported the bug.

I see that other people are having success in downloading the archive.

I am having a strange problem on my end. I receive anywhere from 200+ KB to 500+ KB and then the downloading stops. My Mac with it's Safari browser at this point believes that it has a full archive rather than an interrupted download. I am not given an option to continue the download where it stopped. It will only restart the download from the beginning. Hmmm.

I hope that his will sort it self out at some point.

I downloaded Firefox and tried downloading this archive. Firefox will stop the download before it finishes the download. But when I re-click on the download link, Firefox will resume the download where it stopped. It took over a dozen tries, but it looks like I finally got the full archive.

This archive contains updated rarity files for MTG Forge 05-28. I added the values for the 34 new cards. This set is not compatible with earlier versions of forge.

You're most welcome! Let me know if it's still buggy

By the way, anyone else having trouble downloading the latest Beta?

I downloaded it once yesterday and again now for good measure, it seems to be working perfectly.

This is great, now I get to play with all the new cards and rares' improved code for QuestMode. Too awesome. Thanks for the new version guys, it keeps getting exponentially better.

I'll help all I can with bug reports and general feedback. Also, myn Chameleon Colossus! Thanks Dennis, it looks a lot more badass now that it's actually implemented.

[Arcanis222]

Yeah, Thanks for the update guys, the colossus is just awesome. Especially with elves.

Thanks Dennis, I'm really looking forward to using Chameleon Colossus. I didn't have any problems downloading it.

I wonder what is the dollar amount of all the cards that MTG Forge has, lol. When I had my short telephone interview with Wizards of the Coast, they asked me why I wrote MTG Forge and I said, "To play with rare cards that I don't own" and they replied that Randy Buehler (Wizards exec) would have a fit if he heard that. Programming new cards is cheaper than buying them.

Well said. Plus where else are we gunna play with playsets of Mox (Mox Jet) And ridiculously good cards that cost loads for playsets.

That was the worst and most sincere answer you could've given. I imagine whoever representative was talking to you facepalm'd into "oh shi--". Awesome.

[DennisBergkamp]

Now all we gotta do is implement a manapool, so we can program cards like Black Lotus
