Thanks Milod. There's a "spoiler" tag that's perfect for card text (or "quote" works too). Saves a download - like so:

I wanted to try the Battle of Wits deck that was posted in today's ReConstructed Article http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/203 but I knew Karn Liberated is not currently supported. Here's what I was able to script that I think is a reasonable approximation to play with.

I miss this thread...

[moomarc]

I miss this thread...

So was there some card you were hoping to get at least half implemented or were you just being nostalgic?

[Corwin72]

not really. I just enjoyed finding really odd cards here. I still use the Sorin from here every time that I make a new build. There are not a lot of cards left that need this thread.

I wanted to try some deck ideas with Thousand-Year Elixir. Here's code for one that gives haste instead of the almost-haste specified by the real card, so you're on the honour system not to attack with creatures that would normally have summoning sickness!

Thousand-Year Elixir | Open

Code: Select all

Name:Thousand-Year Elixir

S:Mode$ Continuous | Affected$ Creature.YouCtrl | AddKeyword$ Haste | Description$ You may activate abilities of creatures you control as though those creatures had haste.
A:AB$ Untap | Cost$ 1 T | ValidTgts$ Creature | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature.| SpellDescription$ Untap target creature.

End

Also, here's a Power Conduit that I should have posted in this thread rather than card contributions (which I did a while ago), as it's not perfect (counter removal should be a cost, rather than an effect), but it gets the job done.

End

Including the URLs for Picture and SetInfo still triggers the "external URL" spam detection on the forum for me, so you have replace NOTSPAMMY with the traditional URL roots before use.

I made a version of Gaea's Touch by combining Exploration with code from Havenwood Battleground. Thanks to friarsol for the suggestion.

It lets you play any land type intsead of just basic forests, but since I'm using it in a mono-green deck it works perfectly.

Also, this is my first crack at anything related to coding so let me know if I made any mistakes.

[AndyTron]

I made a version of Chain Lightning to use in legacy zoo and burn decks. It's just a sorcery speed Lightning Bolt, so I only use it when playing against decks that don't run red. Otherwise it seems to work fine.

If anybody knows what the exact problem with coding Chain Lightning is please let me know. I might try to make a version where the controller of the original target can pay two red to deal 3 damage to another target of his choosing instead of creating a copy of Chain Lightning. If anybody knows whether or not this is possible please let me know.

reviving this thread, any ideas on how to implement Aurelia's Fury? I was thinking about as simple as an Enchantment with Flash+Shroud and:

1: ~ deals 1 damage to target creature. Tap that creature (Stun Sniper)
1: ~ deals 1 damage to target player. That player can't cast non-creature spells this turn (some sort of Silence)
0: Sacrifice ~

Instead of 0: Sacrifice ~, put "K:At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice CARDNAME." other then that, its up to you how to do it

Is there a way to make it so it has to be sacrificed at the end of the current phase?

Aside from that, making it an enchantment like this is actually a neat way of dealing with it. Just don't forget to give it flash!

Why not have it sacrifice itself as it comes into play? Then you can respond to the sacrifice ability with either of the first two powers. This would make it even more like an instant.

This card is not difficult, only need add a parameter "TargetedCardColor" to ProtectAllEffect. I'll add it.
