Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Here's one that could have gone undetected for a long time. Good thing I like weird, obscure cards!

When my Hazezon Tamar (yes, Hazezon Tamar) dies, my Sand Warriors get to stick around. They should be exiled by his leaves-the-battlefield trigger.

This makes my "sacrifice-Hazezon-Tamar-in-response-to-his-making-the-Sand-Warriors-so-the-leaves-play-ability-triggers-before-they're-in-play-and-I-get-to-keep-them" deck seem slightly less awesome than I know it really is.

Same thing applied to Talrand's invocation.

Dropping the attached file into /res/pics/tokens solved this particular issue.

About that whole Hazezon Tamar thing...

This line appears to be the problem:

SVar:TrigExile:AB$ ChangeZone | Cost$ 0 | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Exile | Defined$ Sand.Warrior+YouCtrl

This may be a case where the card once worked correctly but Forge engine updates have changed the script syntax out from under it. The Defined$ needs to specify all permanents with both types, Sand and Warrior. This should exile all of Hazezon's own tokens, anything with changeling, and of course Mistform Ultimus. The "YouCtrl" is right out, since Hazezon's departure exiles the opponent's changelings as well (according to http://mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11316, anyway).

My scripting-fu is horribly rusty; I'm not sure offhand how to specify that, and a quick look around didn't turn up any cards that care about two types at once. I tried a few searches like "target Merfolk Wizard", "all Human Solders", etc., but no luck.

On a related note, the "reminder text" on our Sand Warrior tokens is wrong. They don't vanish just because there's no Hazezon Tamar on the board; they only vanish as a triggered effect if they're already in play when Hazenon leaves.

:facepalm: I know I added this one and fixed Entreat the Angels in the not so distant past! I'll see if I can find what's happened...

great update. big ups on the cenn's tactician and molten disaster

 Remember the Fallen isn't working correctly when there's an artifact creature and a non-creature artifact in the graveyard--it retrieves the artifact creature but not the non-creature artifact.

You are not the first to post this problem. Capital letters can't be found in the beta. Search for "orin" instead of "Sorin".

Already fixed.

Fixed! Thanks Zirbert.

You choose the order of the two modes before picking the cards. If you get to pick artifacts first and select the artifact creature, you can't get the other artifact (because you have to choose a creature).

Oh, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks!

It looks like there's a problem with the token downloader (won't download anything). Hopefully Doublestrike will get a chance to look at it.

EDIT: Nevermind. Found the problem. For now, in your main.properties file in the res folder change "token-images.txt" to "../token-images.txt". Then run the downloader again.

Another great update!

However, it seems that some issues I have been experiencing before has not yet been fixed:

- Sacrificing a creature for a mana ability (i.e. Soldevi Adnate or Phyrexian Tower) during an opponent's turn while you have a Grave Pact in play will prevent the game from progressing at all, nothing will respond with your inputs and no error messages will show. Other sacrificial effects performed on the same situation (i.e. Carrion Feeder or Diamond Valley) does not exhibit this issue.
- In some cases you can't use a particular card in hand for no reason at all (i.e. Tendrils of Agony), it just blinks when you click it. Also, discard effects have no effect on that card which could then be abused by cards such as Masticore.

I do hope these issues could be fixed on the next iteration and thanks again for providing us a very good software for playing MTG!

Mucho buko thanks sloth from this newbie

I'm not quite sure about it, but it looks like whenever I suspend two Rift Bolts at the same turn, only one of them works.

I control a tapped AEther Snipe and Scathe Zombies. AI attacks with Lowland Tracker and provokes the Zombies. However, my Aether Snipe untaps suddenly.

I can't reproduce this.

This should be fixed as of today. [We found out that the AI was able to change targets of triggered abilities just before they resolve].

For some reason Behemoth's Herald won't let me activate it's ability. Haven't tested the other heralds yet.

EDIT:Tried it again and it worked. Going to try and reproduce it step by step.
