Bug Reports (snapshot builds)

[Bog Wraith]

It had been awhile since I last played with a Shared Fate in play, but with tomorrows Pro Tour OGW being a Draft & Modern format, I wanted to test my Shared Fate deck to see if the bug that crashed the game repeatedly earlier had been squashed. I used the same deck that I had previously posted in an earlier bug report in this thread.

I was able to play a bit, but the same kind of crash occurred once again when I attempted to cast the A.I's exiled card Jeskai Charm, using my Exotic Orchard to pay for the red mana cost of it when the crash happened:

Ah thanks for the reminder. I meant to take a look but then OGW came out and absorbed all of my time with adding colorless mana.

Edit: Do you have the deck you were playing against handy?

[Bog Wraith]

The deck I'm playing against is a Standard deck, but the same type of crashes happened when I played a number of Modern decks as well. I'm sure that doesn't matter, but I just wanted to mention it.

It's a Jeskai deck by Ryoichi Tamada that he played at Pro Tour BFZ.

I'm not sure if this is correct or not (but I think it's not): Yasova Dragonclaw asks you to specify the target first, then asks to pay the mana. This results in the following side effect: if you target a creature that has a trigger on it (e.g. the one that says "when this creature becomes a target of an ability, sacrifice it"), then the trigger fires and the creature gets sacrificed even if you don't pay the mana.

Yes it's right. To be added to the stack all SAs and Triggers need their targets assigned. If this happens to do something to a Phantom creature, well that's too bad and the Trigger will just fizzle.

[Agetian]

Oh, very interesting! Thanks a lot for the clarification, Sol!

r30809: A hard crash (NPE) happens every time the AI tries to attack with Tromokratis, it's impossible to continue playing after this NPE and the only way out is to restart Forge. Couldn't figure out a way to fix this (the attacking band appears to be null at the time it's queried, but I'm not sure how to best approach fixing this issue since I'm not very well-versed in combat code...).

EDIT: In r30810, I implemented a NPE prevention mechanism that at least makes the game stop hard-crashing in an unrecoverable way. However, the problem is not truly fixed, a better fix is necessary in that location. Please take a look if you think you know how to correct this.

Description: Playing the 3rd EDH game in a row. Sluggish game behavior started (or at least got noticable) during the second game.

Lavaball Trap seems to be broken ... the AI does play it for it cheaper cost, but i didnt play two lands this turn

[tjtillman]

Saw in revision 30849 that Ondu War Cleric removed from AI decks.

There were some other Cohort cards that were removed as well for using the cohort ability sub-optimally (for example, tapping Drana's Chosen pre-blocks).

However, I'm not sure why Ondu War Cleric was removed. In the playtesting I was able to get in, the AI would leave it untapped until the end of the AI's opponent's turn or right after the War Cleric is declared as a blocker, which is generally how you'd want to AI to use it. I'm not saying there may be some other facet to why Ondu War Cleric was removed from AI decks, really just curious as to why it was though.

in v.1.5.49 s30850, Haven of the Spirit Dragon does not work for me. I have in my graveyard Shieldhide Dragon, I want to sacrifice it to return the creature to my hand but won't let me... it does nothing though I have the mana to pay the cost...

Works fine for me. What else is in play?
