Get ready for some fun. Necropotence

[jpb]

This is the code for both Yawgmoth's Bargain and Necropotence. I know we don't have Donate and Illusions Of Grandeur in MTG Forge to complete the combo, but this card is fun anyways.

Add this in CardFactory.java

Code: Select all

    else if(cardName.equals("Yawgmoth's Bargain")){                 
        final SpellAbility ability = new Ability(card, "0")
        {
          public void resolve()
          {
             PlayerZone library = AllZone.getZone(Constant.Zone.Library, card.getController());
             PlayerZone hand = AllZone.getZone(Constant.Zone.Hand, card.getController());
            if(library.size() != 0)
            {
              AllZone.GameAction.getPlayerLife(card.getController()).subtractLife(1);
              Card c = library.get(0);
              library.remove(0);
              hand.add(c);
            }
          }
         
         public boolean canPlayAI()
          {
            return false;
          }
        };//SpellAbility

        ability.setDescription("Pay 1 life: Draw a card.");
        ability.setStackDescription(card.getName() +" - Pay 1 life: Draw a card.");

        card.addSpellAbility(ability);
      }//*************** END ************ END **************************
   
   
    //*************** START *********** START **************************
    else if(cardName.equals("Necropotence"))
    {
      final CardList necroCards = new CardList();
     
      final Command necro = new Command()
      {
        public void execute()
        {
          if(AllZone.GameAction.isCardInPlay(card))
          {
            //put cards removed by Necropotence into player's hand
           if(necroCards.size() > 0){
             PlayerZone hand = AllZone.getZone(Constant.Zone.Hand, card.getController());
               
             for(int i = 0;i<necroCards.size();i++){
               hand.add(necroCards.get(i));
             }
             necroCards.clear();
           }
          }
        }
      };

            Card c = library.get(0);
            library.remove(0);
            necroCards.add(c); //add card to necro so that it goes into hand at end of turn
            AllZone.EndOfTurn.addAt(necro);
          }
        }
       
        public boolean canPlayAI()
        {

Skip your draw step. If you would discard a card from your hand, remove that card from the game instead. Pay 1 life: Set aside the top card of your library face down. At the end of your turn, put that card into your hand.

One minor irritation is that when you click on either of these cards to activate their abilities MTG Forge will ask you to pay a mana cost, even though they are 0. You just need to click anywhere in the game and it will put the ability on the stack. I am not aware of a way in MTG Forge to avoid this. If anyone knows please fix this. Also there is no AI or card image URL yet.

[DennisBergkamp]

jpb, AWESOME! I was just thinking a few days ago how cool Necropotence would be in MTGForge. You should definitely submit this card (and all your other additions) to Forge.

I, by the way, have been having the same problem with some of my spells (Hunting Grounds, for instance), and I have no clue how to fix it. I think it should be possible though with the methods available....

[GandoTheBard]

I know people thought of Trix as a combo deck and technically it was but that wasnt really the idea. At least according to Dr. Bush whom I used to talk with on IRC a bit. Donate was good for lots of things but the deck still worked after the bans in the extended season that year. Anyway good job on the necro/bargain code...imho those card will be too easily broken for Forge but *shrugs* Im sure it will be fun to see the ai bungle them.

[jpb]

There is a problem where you sometimes cannot lay a land down after you have Necropotence in play.

[GandoTheBard]

Yeah I reported this. Initially I thought it had something to do with the interaction of disk and potence but it has happened when it was just the necropotence out. All the text must have confused MTGForge

[jpb]

Here is the fix for Necropotence not allowing you to play a land. In Input_Draw.java add the following line "Input_Main.canPlayLand = true;" to the if block.

Code: Select all

if(AllZone.Phase.getPhase().equals(Constant.Phase.Draw) && humanSkipsDrawPhase){
     Input_Main.canPlayLand = true;
     AllZone.Phase.setNeedToNextPhase(true);
   }
