Fixes/Features:

- Made Boomerang cascadable and it should work correctly with Isochron Scepter.
- Zerker fixed Darkwater Catacombs.
- Fixed AI part for Meloku, the Clouded Mirror.
- Switching controllership when destroying a Control Magic should remove the creature from combat.
- Fixed a crash with Man-o'-War when the AI doesn't have any legal targets the human player controls.
- Rob added new Buyback code that makes it more keywordable.
- Moved some combat code around (check for blocker triggers should only happen once now).
- Equipment should get removed now whenever something is grabbed with Control Magic and other cards.
- Zerker added a "Sacrifice at EOT" keyword.
- Zerker added Trample + Haste to Sparksmith tokens.
- Zerker fixed Umbral Mantle.

- Fixed Rathi Trapper mana text.
- Zerker fixed a TableSorter bug.
- Chris converted a lot of cards from code to keyword.

- Fixed the getColor() method in CardListUtil (this should fix a bunch of cards - Nocturnal Raid, Valorous Charge, ...).
- Some minor checks added in canDestroyAttacker() and canDestroyBlocker().
- Deathtouch shouldn't destroy Planeswalkers anymore.

"Removed"? It shouldn't be removed...

all rarities for Forge 03-13-2010

This archive contains updated rarity files for Forge 03-13-2010. I added the missing rarity values for the new cards that were included in version 03-13-2010. This set is not compatible with earlier versions of Forge.

This archive now contains only one set of rarity files. These files have had a rarity value assigned to all of the cards except for the basic lands, basic snow lands, and Rares three fantasy cards.

As of version 10-02-2009 these rarity files now go inside of the res folder and are now of no use to you if you place them in the root folder. You can place a copy inside of the res folder and a second copy inside of the quest folder.

`

We also failed to thank both Rares and Silly Freak, they both made a contribution to the code for this version.

This is a great update, thanks for adding the X spells, a bedrock staple of MTG to be sure. (And too long in coming! )

This is indeed a very huge update that deserves more than thanks, but more of a congratulations for getting the X costs working finally! (Especially for the old people who've been here for a really long while, we all knew that it was worth the wait to see it finally implemented.)

So far, I've not seen any flaws in the the X costs and Multikicker with regards to simply using them.

Isochron Scepter also works very nicely. It's a very fun card indeed having endless Swords of Plowshares or endless Holy Day spells to ruin the AI's day.

Keep the versions coming guys!

*does happy dance*
Thanks a bundle guys!
Finally got the cards to recreate my elf/staff deck now.
X-cost spells, Isochron Scepter, Respite, me like, me like!

You probably included a bunch of hidden "features" as well, that lesser souls would call bugs. But don't worry, we will hunt them down for you. (both the bugs and the lesser souls.)

That doesn't matter. It still shouldn't be.

There is no rule as such that would forbid equipments on a creature you don't control. You can't TARGET such creatures with the equip ability, but that's all.

Equipment on opponent's creature is still controlled by you, and you can use the equip ability and move it elsewhere, but if you don't, it will work normally. Ditto for stealing the equipment attached to your creature.

See Carry Away which specifically says that it unattaches the equipment it steals - since it wouldn't if it wasn't explicitly mentioned.

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

Dennis did a great job implementing the X costs. I like the UI although people will need to slow down their mouse clicking to keep track of how much mana they are putting into the x value.

I could not resist the temptation and coded a couple of the x cost spells myself. I tested them and tried to squash whatever bugs that I found … the AI portion of these types of spells can be a challenge to write.

- Rob added new Buyback code that makes it more keywordable.

Unless it's been copied to other keywords, then it's only implemented for spLoseLife.

I took a quick glance at this ... it appears that the Buyback code is not so much a stand alone keyword, instead it is a key/value for an SVar. So, I think that Rob is saying that the Buyback code will have to be added to existing keywords and to separate code objects where the Buyback code would help to implement this new feature.
