Collectible Card Game Headquarters

This bug happened again in Forge 05/16 while the computer had a Wall of Spears and I had no creatures during the Declare Attackers step. (The game was against the Goldfinger deck; Rolling Stones was not involved.)

The computer reanimated Kor Skyfisher in my graveyard with Beacon of Unrest and I was asked to bounce a permanent; however, I was able to select the Skyfisher now under its control and take it into my hand again. I suppose this situation falls under the general principle of having the player make all unimplemented decisions.

When the AI threw a Lightning Bolt at Master Transmuter, I used its ability in response a la Momentary Blink, but all I got was a very dead Transmuter. Does this have to do with the card-hashing mechanism?

Early in one game, the computer dropped a Razorfin Hunter and then I cast Mox Diamond and Ardent Plea, again without creatures. During the computer's next main phase, its favourite time to ping me unwisely, I received this strange but honest error, another empty array bug:

Code: Select all

There is an error in the card code for Razorfin Hunter:

I could bypass this one, but it occurred again during combat and stopped the game for good. Strangely enough, however, I've played dozens of similar games minus the Ardent Plea, and the AI generally pokes me without incident. The Plea was in the last screenshot as well.

Game Play Bugs
...when you control a planeswalker and are targetted with direct damage the person controlling the damage should get a prompt "Do you wish to redirect damage to a planeswalker? (Y/N)".

I have not seem this prompt at all. Where in the magic rules state that there is a choice to redirect damage to a planeswalker?

MTG Rules God wrote:306.7 (in part) If noncombat damage would be dealt to a player by a source controlled by an opponent, that opponent may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker the first player controls instead.

.
On another note, I accidentally put Terramorphic Expanse in a deck without honest basic lands and was confused when nothing happened upon clicking it, even though it's still perfectly legal to use the nearly useless ability. In cases such as these, it would be helpful at least to give some indication that an effect is inapplicable.

It's been a while since I encountered the following, so please correct me if I remember wrong. First, the computer used Control Magic on Reveillark, which I destroyed soon after, but it retrieved two fat copies of Master of Etherium. Technically, its power/toughness if not in play (here, in the graveyard) are the number of artifacts its owner controls, but this would most likely be too difficult to write. Second, Counterbalance still doesn't work, and this time lands aren't the culprit (e.g., my Time Vault vs. computer's Goblin Deathraiders). Third, I won one game of a match via milling and indeed received the credits bonus promised in the bug fixes...but twice!

Just ran into this error on the computer's first turn. I played a swamp and ended my turn. Then the computer plays a swamp and then this error popped up:

I see what's wrong with the combat error... I thought I'd fixed it, but a misplaced parenthesis screwed things up

No bonus credits for mulliganing to zero and then winning! What's going on?

Tromp the Domains does nothing in its latest incarnation.

I know that there are a few other posts about this card, but i thought i could add a little detail. Reflecting pool works like this for me;

- Click to cast a spell or activated ability
- click reflecting pool for mana X times
- Click cancel to cancel the spell
- Dialog for Reflecting pool pops up asking what type of many X times!
- After choosing the many type for the X number of clicks i have X mana in my mana pool.

This is an infinite mana bug and with two reflecting pools in play and a double or triple color land in play also...... yea.

THANKS

If you stack multiple targeted abilities from a single source (such as from a Crimson Acolyte or an Elvish Herder) targeting multiple different targets without letting each resolve individually, all of the instances of the ability go to the last target.

Not sure how old this is:

When I use a Kjeldoran Outpost, I don't get a picture. Also the card text says tap: put a 1/1 soldier token into play, but then it asks me for 1W to pay for it. Obviously just the text is wrong - I should be paying 1W.

Oh cool. I thought I'd gotten rid of this one. Will look into -- Thanks for the report.

A post from the thread for Forge 05/16:

DennisBergkamp wrote:So the "Mulliganed to 0" bonus only worked once?

Yes. Later I won a match where I mulliganed to 0 the first game and not the second (winning both games), and I didn't get any mull to 0 bonuses. Hope that's helpful!

This is precisely what occurred in my tests: bonus credits for mulliganing to zero are awarded appropriately for the first game of a match, but never the second or the third. You can try this for yourself by repeatedly switching screens until the R2-D2 opponent is one of the three choices. (Whether this is a bug or a feature I'm not certain, but for this purpose it's useful either way.) While I was experimenting with this, I think I caught the computer playing Regress targeting nothing several times.

In the first game of another match, I cast Kaervek's Spite (which is yet another card that performs its action on resolution rather than as an additional cost) while controlling Academy Rector and was asked twice whether to remove it from the game, in a fashion similar to the Bloodbraid Elf & Regrowth bug. I was burned to death the next game when I couldn't get Barren Glory out fast enough, and I won the last game. Then I think I received some bonus credits...for milling? (Don't take this one too seriously, though -- it happened during one of my early-morning Forge stupors/marathons.)

The interface for Buried Alive is mildly annoying in that the creatures are shuffled around between the three selections. It also doesn't display the rest of your library, but just mixing them in would be an even greater annoyance for sure. To standardise this type of dialog with a minimum of fuss, perhaps we could divide the list of visible cards into two parts: the top whose members can be selected (e.g., non-creature, non-land cards for Duress), and the bottom whose members cannot (other cards in hand, greyed out).

The AI may have gotten smarter about attacking into creatures with first/double strike, but it remains dumb as ever with respect to blocking them. Speaking of that, if Forge is to conform to pre-M2010 rules, the controller of an attacker with double strike should be able to choose damage assignments for both first-strike and normal combat damage.

Finally, I'm not sure about this sequence of events, but during one game I think this happened when the computer played a Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, discarded some other copies for its grandeur ability, and used Beacon of Unrest on one of those (which are legendary...):

Strangely enough, I didn't see Charcoal Diamond anywhere!

EDIT: Does anyone notice the automatically generated card text not appearing here?

EDIT2: If I play Sarkhan Vol's +1 ability before animating Raging Ravine, it still receives the bonus.

While playing a special fantasy quest I had the dreaded Java heap space error. Using rev 1067 and Low Quality pics. questData file is only 66 KB. I finished the special fantasy quest and pressed the Card Shop button and this is when I got the error.

did you play very long? maybe it was due to the constant recreation of card objects every time you entered the shop, and the cards are still referenced somewhere... maybe it's even reproducible this way...

I played one or two matches at most before the java heap space error. It has taken me awhile to win the 25 matches needed to activate the special fantasy quest decks. I will limit my play to just this one mode and will see if I can gather any more data.

I tried again and got the same result. I can finish one match and go to the card shop without problems. If I go to the card shop after my second match I get the error. I assume at this time that I could quit and restart in between matches and be OK.
