Collectible Card Game Headquarters

So in light of this, I went ahead and enhanced the Card Detail pane to show the Current Storm Count whenever a Storm card is viewed in it. This seemed the most obvious place to look for this information, and this way simply hovering over the storm card will allow easily seeing the storm count before playing the spell.

Will this work for everyone?

While this is a big improvement to the current situation, I'd like to be able to see the storm count even if I don't have a storm card in hand. (For example, I'm playing a storm deck and want to know if Diabolic Tutor for Tendrils of Agony will be lethal. I don't have the Tendrils in hand yet, still I need to know the storm count to make the right decision.)
So maybe re-adding it to the player panel would be better.
Or maybe it could be in both places, as your solution is probably the more intuitive place to look for it.

That's a good point. Many storm decks run a bunch of tutors but only one storm finisher. Some don't even maindeck the finisher at all, depending on Burning Wish to grab it.

Actually, given my other recent change to improve the "View Deck List" support, you can look up the storm easily prior to tutoring by simply viewing your deck list and hovering over the storm card you'd want to tutor for, like this:


As the Players pane is not an intuitive place to find the Storm count, I'd rather not add it back there. Will the View Deck List workaround be ok for everyone? Besides, one could argue opening up your deck list prior to tutoring is an intuitive thing to do even when not playing a storm deck.

Seems good to me

702.21j During the combat damage step, if an attacking creature is being blocked by a creature with banding, or by both a [quality] creature with “bands with other [quality]” and another [quality] creature, the defending player (rather than the active player) chooses how the attacking creature’s damage is assigned. That player can divide that creature’s combat damage as he or she chooses among any number of creatures blocking it. This is an exception to the procedure described in rule 510.1c.

Thanks !

on a different note any one experienced a loss of focus on the "Ok" button once in a while ? I got my "Action Screen" split up so I can have an easier access to to "Attack all" button. Does this has anything to do with the loss of focus ?

I have a request/suggestion. On the preferences screen, change the"pay for ante" checkbox to three radio buttons labeled "Never play for ante", "always play for ante" and "play for ante - quest world only", or something similar. When playing in the quest world I usually play for ante but when I play constructed or limited I have ante turned off. I often forget to change the settings when I switch game types. It would be nice if I could enable ante for the quest mode only.

What would be great is autotarget when there's only one possible obligatory target (for example, "target opponent" in single player game)

I'm just playing some challenge against opponent with 400 life, and I activated Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood combo by gaining 2 life. It will be a lots of targeting now

Currently, to check the identity of a face-down permanent, I hover the mouse cursor over that permanent, then carefully maneuver the cursor over to the bottom-right panel to click the big face-down card image (not sure what it's called, so I'll call it the card preview). This isn't so bad in a sparsely populated field, but trying to pick out a specific creature with Morph out of a field with a few dozen of them can take quite some time.

I think the easiest way to make this process painless would be to add a new hotkey (default 'M' perhaps?) that would flip the card preview for a face-down permanent you control under your mouse cursor. That way, we could quickly scan through all of them just clicking a keyboard key to check them instead of having to solve a mouse maze puzzle for each one.

Or even better, make face-up their default view, as long as you know their identity.

You're right, there's really no need to show the card back in the preview at all, since it would be visible on the field and the 2/2 creature stats would be visible in the card info at the top right of the screen. Good call.

Hi all, in quest mode would it be possible to choose the format preference you want to play against ? I'm getting tired of playaing against legacy/vintage oponents...

Request to please code Marath/Prossh even without the commander tax bonus (guessing that's the problem) for 1/99 and legacy/vintage. thanks

If "half-baked" implementations are acceptable, please also half-bake Trait Doctoring for Standard Heroic shenanigans. In that deck it's just a blank with cipher anyway.

Sorry I meant in Gauntlet mode

is it possible to change the best of 3 to any other odd number?

If not could this option be added?
