Just to keep things together, if anyone else has scripts for cards in the list, post to here and I'll just merge it into this post.

Well..

Spellskite - change targets only currently works for single targets right now (due to complications in how change targets rulings). So basically we would need both choosing which target of the SA are going to change, and definition of what it's changing to.

Command Tower does nothing in other variants (taps for 0 mana). It'd be like activating a Gaea's Cradle with no creatures in play.

We have another card Fractured Powerstone that is also variant specific. I can go through this later today and point out the most common themes, I bet it overrides closely to: http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge_Remaining

I saw several Patrons in BOK. The offering ability is similar to Convoke, I think, with a little modification in alternative cost to grant it an instant speed.

I tried a few weeks back to do Offering, but couldn't quite get it right. I believe all 5 are scriptable if we get the offering ability functional.

Gemstone Caverns might be hardcoded currently.

[Max mtg]

Gemstone Caverns might be hardcoded currently.

Yes, it's better hardcoded than unsuppoted, but due to too specific code that was used and direct calls to GUI from code that is supposed to become server, I had to improve it.

So I've scripted all actions performed from opening hand and used PlayerController methods to learn player's decision.
There still remains to handle an if-else for player type to play ability without stack.

It's good that you've made that implementation, anyway.

The script for Summoning Trap was really easy for something so high on the list so I feel like I missed something. I think it was just never added when spell-countered triggers were added or we weren't as experienced with StoreSVar chenanigans yet. So let me know if anyone comes across any issues. Only thing I know of that I want to change is the ordering of cards going back to your library - I want to use the same sorting as I implemented for DigUntil. But its 1:00AM here and I've got a crazy 3 weeks of work ahead of me, so going to have to leave non-essential things for now. (yes, adding Summoning Trap was essential )

[Max mtg]

Wow! Never thought of keeping that information on the very card.

When I added the spell-countered triggers, I tried to script this card. But unfortunately there was a trigger zones limit (even there was no "Triggerzones" parameter, it would be limited in STATIC_ABILITIES_SOURCE_ZONES) that no cards could be triggered in hand or library. After Hellfish removed this limit, I think we could finally implement this card. Great work, Mark

[Max mtg]

There remains Refraction Trap. Although it's not listed here that is the only card missing to complete worldwake!

"If damage is prevented this way"... from the oracle text - does this mean a triggered ability activated by "damage prevented" event? (that is a new trigger to add)
* And also a new variable in Player class - prevention of damage distibuted between me and my permanents. Looks like that's goin to be a map of sourceSa to amountOfDamageCanPrevent, with null key standing for just any source

And once we solve that problem, Divine Deflection also becomes scriptable, because it uses the same clause

[Hellfish]

Unfortunately, mapping from sa's to amount won't work because permanents can be sources as well.

Wasn't ___________ from one of the un-sets? If so, shouldn't it be disqualified from this list?

Wasn't ___________ from one of the un-sets? If so, shouldn't it be disqualified from this list?

Yes. Possibly. As the list is based on decks that have been posted on the wizards website, I haven't excluded any based on other criteria.

Not implementing the Un-sets is just a decision the devs made. I don't think it's set in stone and if the right combination of desire, ability, reasons and time converge, that decision could change. One factor that could influence this is the knowledge that Un-cards are included in decklists posted on wizards.com.
