Forge Beta: 08-16-2013 ver 1.4.6

[lazylockie]

I also noticed that some cards that put cards on bottom of your library (for example Augur of Bolas) make you select one at a time to move to bottom -- wouldn't it be better to use similar interface as scry?

believe me when I say that things were way way worse before. Imagine activating Sensei's Divining Top as one way ticket. You can decide only once which position each card should go and it was never very clear if you were stacking them correctly (was the card 3rd from the top or on the top?)

so far things have progressed a lot regarding UI. there's still some nitpicks - like the Augur of Bolas / Impulse, but overall Forge has really evolved since 1.1.x (from where I think I started playing)

Ok, regarding my issues with graphics, I've narrowed it down to not redrawing things which were covered over previously. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with java 1.7u9 and fluxbox for my windowmanager. However I see this with Crunchbang in openbox with the latest java 7 as well. Have not tested on my windows box yet.

If I put a window over top of the forge window, what is beneath will not come back when I bring it back to the foreground. If I roll my mouse over the area pieces will return, but the entire screen does not go right until I force a redraw (maximize or restore, or zooming on a card all seem to accomplish this).

I'm using default layouts for everything. I noticed that it got a bit better after I downloaded the LQ set pictures, or at least seemed to. But I can't quantify that, so it could just be my own bias due to the whole thing seeming much nicer with the pics in place.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to java options which may alleviate this? I found the following stackoverflow, which I will be testing later on: <stackoverflow'sdomain>/questions/4052321/why-does-a-partially-hidden-jframe-not-repaint-properly-on-linux-when-switching

Edit: So it does seem that using either -Dswing.handleTopLevelPaint=false or -Dswing.bufferPerWindow=false will cause it to redraw properly when the Forge window is partially covered over. It produces some slowness in the graphics drawing when resizing or starting up, but the game itself seems mostly playable. I'll have to do some more testing.

I thought I should mention that Mycosynth Lattice (Darksteel) is not in Forge. This is really cramping my style of making my cloudposts artifacts and copying them :/

Extort doesn't always gain life (we're talking 1 creature like Basilica Screecher on the battlefield, no other creatures/enchantments/effects).

[Xitax]

.Young Pyromancer & Molten Birth need a different token than Elemental Mastery, which has haste.

It works for me. Did you pay the mana for the trigger? Maybe you are accidentally canceling it.

[Marek14]

When Krark's Thumb doubles a coin flip, you are asked to call it two times -- you should only have to call it once.

 Arctic Merfolk lets you bounce creatures for free by casting it with kicker and then canceling it.

That's a limitation of a our cost undoing system. It's the same with cards that allow you to sacrifice multiple things that allow you to sacrifice a few things for free.

I've had a problem with extort as well. The life loss always works but the life gain is intermittent. I haven't been able to discern any pattern for it?

Planechase/multiplayer bugs: Planes that chose a random player always chose the Human on the opponent's turns. This is especially terrible with Furnace Layer, even more so with a full table. If you start on the plane and don't get off it, you end up having your whole hand discarded.

Also, the attack with all creatures button does not seem to work properly. Even if you have a different player selected, all of the creatures pressed with it will attack the default player. It does also not update the display to show you who they are all attacking.

Last thing for Multiplayer. For some reason, the computer does not remember anything beyond the first two players'(Human and the normal AI) Phase Position. This means you have to manually set phase positions for each other player every round, as it does not even remember them between rounds. Could we have the rest of the opponents' settings default to what you have your normal opponent's set at?


Other Bugs: Judge's Familiar still does not work. You can't sacrifice it to counter a spell, unless there is a special way to do so.

Vanish into Memory is not working properly. Here are the rulings on the card. The first two I know it gets wrong for sure, but I am not sure on the third one:

7/15/2006 Vanish into Memory cares about the creature's power just before it left the battlefield and its toughness just after it returns to the battlefield. For example, if you target a Vigean Hydropon with two +1/+1 counters on it, you'll draw two cards, then when the Hydropon returns to the battlefield with five +1/+1 counters on it, you'll discard five cards.

7/15/2006 If the creature exiled with Vanish into Memory never returns to the battlefield (because it was a token creature, for example), you don't discard any cards

7/15/2006 If the creature exiled with Vanish into Memory isn't a creature card (for example, it was an animated Gruul War Plow), that card will still be returned to the battlefield, but not as a creature. Since the card returned to the battlefield has no toughness, you discard no cards.

It seems to look at the card itself, instead of the state of the card on the battlefield.

Bingo. The opponent life loss always hits but sometimes I will not gain the life lost. It's very random.

Computer cast Aura Graft to gain control of my Squirrel Nest and attaches it to another land i control.

EDIT: this should have been posted in the card improvement request thread ...

This works just fine for me. Care to explain more why you think it doesn't? It can only target instants and sorceries.

1. Add the Familiar into play.
2. Try to cast Duress.
3. With Duress on the Stack, click on the Familiar, and select Duress.
