Forge Beta Release 04-22-2017 ver 1.5.61

[hjorti]

When attacking with multiple exert creatures you get to choose one (and only one) of them to exert.

When attacking with multiple exert creatures you get to choose one (and only one) of them to exert.

It's a multiselect box

[Xitax]

Agreed then, the UI is not clear. The box should be retitled "highlight all creatures to exert this combat."

[Zirbert]

My Harsh Mentor triggers when the AI enbalms a creature from the graveyard. Gatherer uses enbalm as a specific example of something that shouldn't trigger HM.

Is there a way to change the User and Content directories? I'm making some changes on my computer; I want to replace my primary disk with a smaller SSD disk so I look for any opportunity to offload data to other drives; and over 5 GB of images for Forge would be nice to offload.

Yep, we have a forge.profile.properties.example file that has information about it.

The ability on Wayward Servant is not optional, but Forge treats it as such.

While this would work, there's one small problem with it, and that is that this file is a part of the release.

That means: every time I unpack a new build (and I do this almost every day), it either gets rewritten or I would have to take care to not rewrite it; it's just one extra step, but an annoying one.

Wouldn't it be better to make the directories part of preferences, and to automatically generate and store the preferences file in the Forge directory so it could always be found?

I am unable to play lands exiled with Oracle's Vault.

[MIC132]

Ok, this might be completely random but it came up since I play a lot of randomly generated decks.

Stone Giant says his target creature's toughness has to be less than his power. But if you actually use the ability, it asks for a creature with less power than Stone Giant's power.

That's not actually how it works. The file that is part of the release is the example file. To actually use the file you copy/rename it as 'forge.properties.profile' and then make whatever changes you want to make to it. I believe the instructions even say to do exactly that? So you don't run in to the problem you are suggesting

I'm not really sure what that last question means. If I'm reading it correctly that's exactly what we're doing. Forge has a file that points to where the custom preferences live (if one has been set) and those preferences are loaded up. The only thing we don't have is auto-generation of this file.

[Midori]

Cartouche of Strength's ETB ability doesn't do anything if it leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves.

[Enom]

Just a quick bug report: Spellskite is able to redirect counter spells (such as Mana Leak) effects, preventing them from happening. The same for Spell Queller ability.

[Hexmage]

Hi, I think I found an error, but maybe it's just me that I missed something in the game. Anyways it looked so strange. It happened as you read in the log, I attacked, AI blocked, and suddenly it activates(?) Colossapede and gets 2 lifes more out of nowhere. I paste a capture
Thanks ^^

[findingtyranny]

Hey guys, encountered a bug with Yidris, Maelstrom Wanderer. Meant to screenshot it, but passed priority one too many times and killed my opponent before I could. I do have the log which I'll include below.

I dealt damage with Yidris, and it searched my library for a copy of Manamorphose and cast it (during the combat damage step). I passed priority onto my main phase, cast Frantic Search, and did not trigger cascade. I'm not really clear on what happened here but it almost seems as though it tried to cascade off of some imaginary object upon Yidris dealing combat damage?

(I hope I formatted this correctly.)
