Custom Card Thread

[WhiteWeenie]

I remember seeing Monty Python themed cards back in the day. Has anyone ever coded them in?

That one can't be done currently. You'd have to make a new keyword similar to the one on Suicidal Charge then combine it with Alluring Siren and Holy Justiciar

It might be doable...
Subability PumpAll ValidCards$ Knight with a Condition looking at Targeted?

I see because "attacks you"... still might be doable *tinker tinker*

Hey guys, I've been using Forge for a while, and recently I started making custom cards. I got through couple mechanics pretty easy, but I'm now stucked with a mechanic that I wanted to add to a card regarding to coin flip and dealing damages.
The oracle goes like this:

Flip 5 coins. CARDNAME deals 2 damage to any target for each coin that comes up heads.

I've tried referecing Fiery Gambit:

Flip a coin until you lose a flip or choose to stop flipping. If you lose a flip, Fiery Gambit has no effect. If you win one or more flips, Fiery Gambit deals 3 damage to target creature. If you win two or more flips, Fiery Gambit deals 6 damage to each opponent. If you win three or more flips, draw nine cards and untap all lands you control.

and Ral Zarek's ultimate:

[-7]: Flip five coins. Take an extra turn after this one for each coin that comes up heads.

I came up with something like this

A:AB$ FlipACoin | Cost$ 1 U T | Amount$ 5 | NoCall$ True | HeadsSubAbility$ DBDamage | StackDescription$ Flip a coin. | SpellDescription$ CARDNAME deals 2 damage to any target for each coin that comes up heads.
SVar:DBDamage:DB$ DealDamage | ValidTgts$ Creature,Player,Planeswalker | TgtPrompt$ Select any target | NumDmg$ 2

However, after several attempts I still can't fix a problem where only the dice roll event happens but not the damage part
Can someone help me with this?

A:AB$ FlipACoin | Cost$ 1 U T | Amount$ 5 | NoCall$ True | HeadsSubAbility$ DBRepeat | StackDescription$ Flip a coin.

Hello everyone. I'm creating a custom commander right now, but it isn't working and i'm scratching my head as how to do it.

What i want to do is this:
If an opponent would discards a card and has no cards in hand, return target card from your graveyard to your hand instead.

What i wrote is this:

Code: Select all

R:Event$ Discard | ActiveZones$ Battlefield | ValidPlayer$ Player.Opponent | ReplaceWith$ ReturnCard | ConditionCheckSVar$ HandSize | ConditionSVarCompare$ EQ0 | References$ HandSize | Description$ If an opponent would discards a card and has no cards in hand, return target card from your graveyard to your hand instead.
SVar:ReturnCard:DB$ ChangeZone | TgtPrompt$ Choose target card in your graveyard | ValidTgts$ Card.YouCtrl | Origin$ Graveyard | Destination$ Hand | SpellDescription$ Return target card from your graveyard to your hand.
SVar:HandSize:Count$Card.OppCtrl

This is a replacement event that trigger when an opponent attemps to discard, check the number of cards in his hand and replace if its zero. I'm currently wondering if it is even possible to make a conditional replacement effect before the discard occurs? At the moment it doesn't work, and even crash the game with one of my iteration. The full card script is this if you wanna take a look.

Rest of the card work fine. Expected result is if an opponent would discard one or more cards but have less than the required number in their hand, i return the difference from my graveyard to my hand. Example: I cast Unnerve in a duel game. Opponent have 1 card in hand. Result he discard one card, and i return one card.


If someone more knowledgeable than me could help me figure my error, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you and have a nice day.
