Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I decided to remove the reusable ability for the tribal instants spells of my set. I believe it will be better this way. Opinions?

I think send the card to the bottom of your library is fine, it is not so easy get it back from there.

I think it's a good choice unless there are interactions. That kind of effect makes you wonder what you can do it with it

So here's some of my latest bugs ^_^

Divergence: An enchant creature card with Whenever enchanted creature attacks, put an enchantment copy of it onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Exile the copy at the beginning of the end step.

Since copypermanent did not appear to allow the tapped and attacking option, which creating ordinary tokens allows, I took this approach: Create a token that's a copy, ChangeZone to the same zone and make it tapped and attacking. The problem here is that it triggers ETB effects twice. Is there any way around this or is there a better method?

Kari, Heir to Havoc: A card that gives other nonenchantment creatures -2/-2. PT is equal to the number of creature cards in all graveyard. When you play this without creature cards in all graveyards, it will die even if the -2/-2 effect will kill another creature. I think this is not according to mtg rules, since both are state based effects. Could it be a bug in the engine?

Putrid Belief: I've had some problems with cost reductions. This one I can't seem to solve. It should cost 1 less for each card in an opponent's hand. I'm doing something wrong with X but I can't figure out what

How do you end an effect nicely? I have two more cards here which I can't seem to properly cancel the effect for. Mutate should last as long as it enchants the creature. And the Haunting Banshee is from before but I still can't seem to fix it. The effect should end when it leaves your graveyard.

Help appreciated I would also like to know if anyone would like to test the set

With Kari, if you cast it when there are no creatures in any graveyards, it should insta-die. It would be entering the battlefield as a 0/0, so it's "everything else gets -2/-2" won't have time to take effect.

timmermac: ok, thanks

If anyone would like to test my set out, I attached an alpha version of it below along with some sample preconstructed decks. Let me know what you think

No pics?

Does Forge support copy a spell or ability without the ability to choose new targets for the copy? I don't know if any published cards exhibit this behavior.

What about implementing a new color? working with the MSE i found the option of additional colors, it is possible to implement a new color in Forge as custom cards?

I have an idea for a new color. Purple would be used to make spells and abilities harder to cast (and so could be made to be more powerful) by making it mana that can only be made by having an effect like Birds of Paradise or City of Brass give you one mana of any color. As long as the conditions are met, you could even have Sliver Hive, Cavern of Souls (and similar) as well.

I have similar ideas but my question was in how implement it and script it in forge to make it usable since my efforts to implement purple for example have ended in crashes.

No answers about my question of implementing new colors for custom cards? Any programmer please?

We typically don't add things just for custom cards. Something as huge and widespread as an extra color I don't really see how that would even logistically work.
