My first attempt at Gangrenous Zombie used isNotPresent instead of IsPresent with PresentCompare of EQ0.

I love ancient cards. Bring 'em on, the ancienter the better!

Watch out for the name of Gangrenous Zombies - it needs the S on the end. Sometimes you put it there, sometimes you didn't. It's missing from the first line of the card script.

`
Added and renamed the card name.

p.s. Was Eater of the Dead missed, or is it not fitting the card's functionality properly?

I don't think your Eater of the Dead works quite right because of this ruling:

You can activate the ability whether or not Eater of the Dead is tapped. However, if Eater of the Dead is untapped when the ability resolves, the ability won't do anything.

If you can confirm this works correctly, I'll add it.

`
I looked at it for awhile and there were a couple of things that concerned me. The Untap is not part of the cost. I do not know if a " IsPresent$ Self.tapped" will handle the necessary test. If it does, then maybe the Untap can be added as a DB$ drawback?

Granted, I am just trying to think of a way to implement this card. I am not sure if it can be done at this time. This one is tricky.

I think that this revision will do it:

It (Eater of the Dead) is still not 100% correct. Tapped is not an activation restriction. It only matters during resolution.

`
Ugh, that is one tricky card. I will remove it from the SVN.

[friarsol]

We need an AF for conditions for this to work properly. At some point I was considering doing one (for things like Flipping Coins anyway) but it seems that all of my free time has disappeared.

I've tested these, but I'd appreciate it if somebody else could give them a try.

This is a lot of fun. I especially enjoy it in decks with Plaguebearer and Geth, Lord of the Vault. And it works perfectly, thanks to the new phase triggers!

More cards that trigger at unusual times to come ASAP (but not tonight)....

Added! Thanks, Replika!

I just don't have enough zombies for my mega-zombie deck - it's stuck around 425 cards. So, toward rectifying that, here's Zombie Pack 1: "They're Dead, They're All Messed up."

This pack contains:

Aphetto Vulture
Graveborn Muse
Haunted Cadaver
Nefashu
Nightscape Apprentice
Rank and File

All tested and seem to work fine, although I remain fallible as ever.

Note that you'd have to be crazy, reckless, or just not too bright to run Graveborn Muse in a dedicated zombie deck. Fortunately, that works out pretty well for me.

More to come (but not today) - I've found over a dozen more that we don't have yet that look scriptable...

[Hellfish]

I'm getting House of The Dead: Overkill flashbacks... Added, Thanks!

[slapshot5]

I added Altar of Shadows and Black Market.
