UntapAll as a SubAbility?

[Chris H.]

I am a wee bit puzzled. I was able to convert Call to Glory to AF sa with the following card text and it works.

Code: Select all

Name:Call to Glory
ManaCost:1 W
Types:Instant
Text:no text
A:SP$ UntapAll | Cost$ 1 W | ValidCards$ Creature.YouCtrl | SpellDescription$ Untap all creatures you control. Samurai creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. | SubAbility$ SVar=DBPumpYourSamurai
SVar:DBPumpYourSamurai:DB$ PumpAll | ValidCards$ Creature.Samurai+YouCtrl | NumAtt$+1 | NumDef$ +1
SVar:PlayMain1:TRUE
SVar:Rarity:Common
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/call_to_glory.jpg
SetInfo:CHK|Common|http://magiccards.info/scans/en/chk/4.jpg
End

`
Yet Gleam of Resistance does not work. I suspect that UntapAll can not be used as a SubAbility at this time.

Code: Select all

Name:Gleam of Resistance
ManaCost:4 W
Types:Instant
Text:no text
A:SP$ PumpAll | Cost$ 4 W | ValidCards$ Creature.YouCtrl | NumAtt$ +1 | NumDef$ +2 | SpellDescription$ Creatures you control get +1/+2 until end of turn. Untap those creatures. | SubAbility$ SVar=DBUntapYourCreatures
SVar:DBUntapYourCreatures:DB$ UntapAll | ValidCards$ Creature.YouCtrl
K:TypeCycling:Basic:1 W
SVar:RemAIDeck:True
SVar:Rarity:Common
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/gleam_of_resistance.jpg
SetInfo:CFX|Common|http://magiccards.info/scans/en/cfx/8.jpg
End

This is the error exception that I get at start up.

Code: Select all

if (API.equals("UntapAll")){
   if (isAb)
      SA = AbilityFactory_PermanentState.createAbilityUntapAll(this);
   else if (isSp)
      SA = AbilityFactory_PermanentState.createSpellUntapAll(this);
   //else if (isDb)
      //SA = AbilityFactory_PermanentState.createDrawbackUntapAll(this);
}


The UntapAll Drawback is commented out (or isn't written). Not sure who wrote the AF but we should make sure Drawbacks get written so things like this don't happen.

The Drawback for Destroy/DestroyAll also is not written.
