Custom Card Thread

Hi all, one issue I keep running into as I start out is cards not counting themselves for various things.

For instance, on this creature, I copied the code from Meteor Crater to make a ramp creature with the same effect (just changing perm to creature), but it won't count its own Green color. Is there a 'counts itself' flag? I think if I understand this, I'll solve a lot of pending problems I have...Thanks!

That's not really how Valid works. Valid takes all things in the zone (defaulting to the battlefield) and filters by the query you provide. If you are providing "Creature.YouCtrl" then it takes all the creatures you control and use that as the base cards. Then looking for all of the colors they "are".

So it should work the way you are doing it, maybe there's something else going wrong.

This is my set's other mechanic that I want to make sure is possible before I design any more. I thought I had this one figured out but I can't quite get it after a few hours of reading the API wiki and trial-and-error.

It's an attempt to combine a Hixus, Prison Warden effect with Mudbutton Torchrunner , but the code above will not activate the death trigger at all. Switching out 'enteredBattlefieldThisTurn' for any other variable (such as Human) works. I tried 'IsPresent$ Card.Self+enteredBattlefieldThisTurn' from Hixus' code and that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or if there's any other resources besides this thread and the wiki, that'd be great too!

I need some help with a card.

I found this design for triple lands that utilizes level counters on the custom mtg subreddit, and wanted to add those on forge.

Here's the code I've writen:

Everything works fine up until the card gets to level 5. Instead of adding , it adds . How do I fix this?

Dream Catcher was tricky. It seems like there's no way to pass the "Play with the top card of your library revealed" ability down to the gained text, but it's not that important. At one point the card also had an always on tap to scry 1. I removed that for balance reasons, but that seems like it would be impossible in Forge.

This one kind of confused me. The persist that the it gains from the copy effect doesn't actually trigger; the persist that it naturally has does. This seems like a bug.

Hi, first time posting here. Long time fan of this software.

I'm trying to create a custom card. After a few hours, i'm happy to say the one i created don't crash the editor but it still don't seems to work like i wanted in game. If a kind soul could maybe help me, i'd be very grateful.

The card is the following.

Name: Pride of the Maelstrom
Cost:
Type: Legendary creature - Dragon
Flying
: Exile the top X cards of each opponent’s library, then for each color of mana spent to activate this ability, you may cast one nonland cards with converted mana cost X or less from among them without paying their mana costs, then put the rest into the bottom of their library in a random order.
P/T: 5/5

To put the ability in layman's term, by paying X i can exile the top X card of all my opponent's library. Then, among those cards, i choose Y nonlands cards with CMC <= X where Y equals the number of colors i used to activate the ability. Y is always >= 0 and <= 5 because only 5 color exist WUBRG. I can then cast those choosen cards for free. All remaining cards go on bottom of their owner's library in a random order.

Thank you very much for your help!

I'm new to Forge and I have no clue how to code custom cards, but I'd really like to have some of mine done for commander. Can anyone here either help me figure out how to code them or do it for me? I'd really appreciate it.

Here's the card:

Aliana, The Muse's Beckoning | UWG
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Siren
Bestow 2UWG
You control enchanted creature
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and deals damage as though it were your commander.
UWG:Return Aliana to its owner's hand.

I'm going to challenge the community to come up with custom cards for use in Forge. Post your card scripts in this thread. Please, nothing un-set worthy. Bonus points to those who create more Slivers. More bonus points to those who create the ultimate badass Sliver.

i have 13 cards i wanted to submit to be made into a custom wad
i just dont know how to share the link or whatever
its 13 cards i designed for a butterfly deck, for magic 2014

Is a card such as this possible in Forge, where one can pay for spells with Phyrexian mana rather than normal mana?

Flux

This is an implementation of the Flux mechanic from a popular r/custommagic post by u/Spiderfuzz. It creates a moon under your control, a double faced token enchantment that transforms at the beginning of your upkeep. It begins as "The Full Moon", then transforms to "The Dark Moon", then transforms again and so on. It doesn't really do anything by itself, but other permanents and spells might care about its state.

I had to use a permanent to keep track of the moon state, so I decided to make it a legendary enchantment whose color is white when "full" and black when "dark" for flavor. This also means it interacts with things that care about its color or types. This mechanic is too rules-y and wordy to fully explain on the card itself, and is absolutely unprintable, but who cares ? Would be great in a custom set that cares for it.
