And Aetherborn too?

And Pilot.

Mechanics article is up:

Important thing is that creatures can have abilities that trigger by crewing a Vehicle.

I think we should also think of changing the counters on players a bit, now that we have three distinct kinds. The Energy video shows a possibility: we could display a counter card on the battlefield, with counters on it representing the current amount (of course, this would also require more precise counter display; for example, overlaying the generic picture of 4+ counters with their exact number).

Also interesting for fabricate: the article notes that if the creature with fabricate is no longer on the battlefield as the ability resolves, you will automatically get the tokens -- no option to still choose counters as a null option in case opponent has something nasty to punish you for getting creatures. I guess it's to reduce clicking on Magic Online.

(I noticed that Surgespanner I used as one source has OptionalDecider$, but that shouldn't be necessary because the ability requires payment.)
Otherwise, Depala will require some Vehicles implementing to work, but she doesn't actually use them so she can be coded now.

This is still not perfect. I put "MayPlayIgnoreColor$ True | ", but the card says "you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast it", which means that if you exile a card with {C} in mana cost, you can pay anything for {C} as well (Daxos and similar don't allow that). Probably needs a new modifier, "MayPlayIgnoreType$ True".

Note for Rashmi, Eternity Crafter -- would it need multiple rememberings, first for the spell (like Aven Shrine), then for the found card?

Shouldn't need to remember the cast spell, since it should be available from the TriggeredSpellAbility (or whatever its technically called)

For energy counter

Coulden't you just make a new counter under the play like poison counters.

I would say make the symbol a lightning bolt.

Well, yes, no doubt it could be done, but Wizards now made two new counters on players in two years. There might be more design space in such mechanics. If they keep adding more, it will eventually be cluttered to just keep them under the portrait.

[drdev]

I suggest we show the icon and number only if you have energy counters. We should also use the energy symbol for the icon, not a lightning bolt (which is already used for the flashback zone)

[Marek14]

Please note that I'm leaving for Spain today. Most likely, I won't be available to code much until next Saturday.
