Custom Card Thread

As always your opinions are useful. Thanks to all.

Negation Rite: add "you draw a card".
Mystic Temple: annoying . Add " : add to your mana pool ".
Leonin Temple: it is weak if compared to your other lands. Give 5 life.
Potence (or Potency?) Crystal: dangerous, it is too cheap to copy any spell at any time.

If someone could shine some light on this, that would be very appreciated - I'm trying to do an effect along these lines:
"Put two tokens onto the battlefield.
If you control at least one permanent and all permanents you control share a color with this card, put four tokens onto the battlefield instead." -
Much like Spell Mastery, though there are no spell mastery cards that are close enough (for my expertise) to mirror successfully onto a card.

Additionally, I tried to use Predator's Howl, but the Count$ simply say "Count$Morbid.3.1" - Where are ability words defined for the game?

I also happened upon a rather old card - Zealots en-Dal - though attempts to use it in my scripting has been less than successful.

Oracle:As additional cost to cast Water Whirled, return a creature you control with power equal to or greater than X to its owner's hands.\nReturn X target creatures to their owners' hands.

The only problem is Forge doesn't seem to check the power of the creature that's part of the additional cost. You can return any creature you control.

Return<1/Creature.YouCtrl.powerGEX>

This part of the script is wrong, it should be: Creature.YouCtrl+powerGEX

Suggestions noted. Next 20 cards.

Waiting for suggestions. Thanks to all.

If you control at least one permanent and all permanents you control share a color with this card, put four tokens onto the battlefield instead."

That won't work the way you want unless you specify NONLAND permanents.

Ah, good point.
I'm still not sure how to make it work in the first place, though :p

I'd typically recommend two conditionals, one checking the "false" part of the conditional (2 tokens) and one checking the true part (4 tokens), but your check is kinda awkward and complex. For 2 tokens, you need to either have 0 nonland permanents or at least 1 nonland permanent that doesn't match in color. Forge's conditional system isn't great at handling ors, it's more of an "and" system. "Does it pass this conditional and this conditional and this conditional..."

So for that case I'd recommend just a 2 token ability, chained into a conditional 2 token ability.

Code: Select all

A:SP$ Token | Cost$ 3 G | TokenAmount$ 2 | TokenName$ Wolf | TokenTypes$ Creature,Wolf | TokenColors$ Green | TokenPower$ 2 | TokenToughness$ 2 | TokenOwner$ You | SubAbility$ DBColorCheck | SpellDescription$ Put 2 2/2 green Wolf creature token onto the battlefield. If you control at least one nonland permanent and all nonland permanents you control share a color with CARDNAME, put 4 tokens in play instead.
SVar:DBColorCheck:DB$ Token | TokenAmount$ 2 | TokenName$ Wolf | TokenTypes$ Creature,Wolf | TokenColors$ Green | TokenPower$ 2 | TokenToughness$ 2 | TokenOwner$ You | ConditionPresent$ Permanent.nonLand+YouCtrl | ConditionCompare$ GE1 | ConditionCheckSVar$ X | ConditionCheckSVar$ EQ0
SVar:X:Count$Valid Permanent.nonLand/Minus.Y
SVar:Y:Count$Valid Permanent.nonLand+SharesColorWith


Alternatively, you can take the second effect wholesale, add a "RememberTokens" parameter, and then have the first effect with a conditional if 0 cards have been remembered. (And then cleanup the remembered mapping). Which would give you the same net result.

I fiddled around with the code you gave me, but I can't seem make it work - It spawns two tokens no matter what, tried a dozen of different scenarios, and I'm quite unsure where to go from here - I checked the code for errors several times, but whatever is disrupting the process remains uncovered

Return<1/Creature.YouCtrl.powerGEX>

The only problem is Forge doesn't seem to check the power of the creature that's part of the additional cost. You can return any creature you control.

This part of the script is wrong, it should be: Creature.YouCtrl+powerGEX

I tried that too. I even tried just Creature.powerGEX, but the game doesn't seem to make the check as part of the cost requirement.

Certain things aren't available in the costs, but .property.property is definitely invalid syntax.

Final 20 cards. I will wait your suggestions, thanks.

At this time my fourth set is 100% spoiled and 35% scripted. I believe that at the end of the week I will upload it. Thanks to all.

Savage Butcher: useful.
Rune Destruction: change the card to "choose one or more:".
Silversteel Medallion: remove "tapped".
Tundra Marauder: this card make me see Unity is similar to Landfall, e.g. Grazing Gladehart. Creaturefall
Transportation Gate: interesting.
Whitefang Warrior: I like regeneration for no mana, e.g. Mischievous Poltergeist. For combo purposes, write a card "whenever a permanent regenerates, you gain 2 life".
Water Blast: the name, the pic and the effect are blue.
Underground Entrance: I remember these dual lands, they are very good.
