Forge Beta: 09-12-2014 ver 1.5.26

[RichardHawk]

Is there a way to play a draft or sealed with freely chosen boosters, such as 3x CHK?

[Yosituna]

I've found that every time I play Protean Hulk and it goes to the graveyard, instead of being able to put multiple creatures of CMC 6 or less onto the battlefield, I can only put one out. (It gives the "choose a single card" dialog rather than the "move the ones you want from the left side to the right side" dialog, which is what I would have expected.)

The DualListBox is typically used for ordering. This doesn't really work in this scenario, since the TOTAL CMC matters for Protean Hulk. The DLB can't update which cards are available when you are moving cards left and right. Each time you select a card with the Select a Card box, it limits which cards remaining in the library can be taken.

Maybe you are reading the card wrong?

Phantom Tiger was blocked by Psychatog, the latter of which was targeted by Cephalid Illusionist's ability to save it. Phantom Tiger lost a counter despite damage prevention from Cephalid Illusionist.

I built and deployed to cardforge a new shapshot which now includes the new Khans of Tarkir cards.

Try the snapshot build Chris H. posted, since the original 1.5.26 releases the devs have fixed a lot of null pointer exception errors (and several other problems), hopefully the one you ran into is one of them and the snapshot has all those fixes

Phantom Tiger was blocked by Psychatog, the latter of which was targeted by Cephalid Illusionist's ability to save it. Phantom Tiger lost a counter despite damage prevention from Cephalid Illusionist.

Hm, in this case, there are two competing replacement effects: Cephalid Illusionist wants to prevent all damage from Psychatog while Phantom Tiger wants to prevent all damage to itself and lose a +1/+1 counter. Since Phantom Tiger is the recipient of damage, its controller chooses order to apply these two effects (or, rather chooses which one to apply since there will be no damage to apply the other to afterwards).
So: If you controlled Phantom Tiger in this scenario, then this is a bug because you should have gotten a choice. If AI controlled Phantom Tiger, then this is legal, albeit stupid play -- AI simply applied Phantom Tiger first, even though the result is worse than if it applied Cephalid Illusionist first.

I think you're right and I was reading it wrong; I read "any number of creature cards with total converted mana cost 6 or less" as each creature having CMC >=6, but it's actually creatures whose CMC altogether add up to 6. I will try it again with that in mind.

Ah, so this is a case of suboptimal AI play then. Makes sense.

Like I asked before, anyone know if custom drafts are possible? I really want to live that Dampen Thought dream.

Hydra Broodmaster's tokens have no picture, even though the file is in the right folder. Renaming it with JOU doesn't work either.

[psilo]

The tab for the commanders are gone in my UI, so I can't cast them nor I can't see them in the flashback section where they used to be at some point. I tried different versions but no luck. Known bug or did I break my game somehow?
