The choseColor triggered ability is missing and the other ability should be a subability of it.

I took a quick stab at it, but couldn't test it (using my 6-24 version). I also have no idea what choseColor is, because it's not in the Wiki triggers yet and I don't know what example to look at for it (I was looking at Mother of Runes). So I'm going to leave it for someone else who understands it better.

This may help, three cards using AF_ChooseColor as an example?

Myr Battlesphere is going to draw comments, but let me explain. Yes, I know the ability doesn't have a cost (currently listed as "X"), but when I put it to "0" the SVar:X doesn't carry from ability to drawback... X will be 0 and thus tapping Myr does nothing. I'm pretty sure this is a bug, and when fixed the cost can be set to 0. As is, the card functionally works... yes, it asks for a cost, but you can just click "cancel" and not pay it and you'll still get the attack boost and damage.

Another guess, implementing AF_ChooseColor.

I'd hold off on trying to do Voice of All for now. This version is closer but all of these versions suffer from the same issue: Voice of All has a static effect of ETB not a Triggered Ability.

The problem here is that auras entering the battlefield have to be attached to permanents of the controllers choice. This is not implemented yet.

Implementing a cost as an ability is not ok. You may be able to stifle it or use tap abilities while it's on the stack.

Sleep has been added. Thanks Starcrash.

[Starcrash]

Implementing a cost as an ability is not ok.

I know. It should be zero and never have to be paid. But zero doesn't work because of a bug. The variable X should read the number of myr tapped as a cost, but it doesn't work unless you use an "X" in the same line of code before moving on to the subabilities. I simply put an X there so you could test it if you like.

No. It should be the Pump ability with cost tapXType<X/Myr> (but this is not implemented atm).

[Starcrash]

No. It should be the Pump ability with cost tapXType<X/Myr> (but this is not implemented atm).

That would be an ability you could stifle, and there are no colons after "tap any number of myr". The reason I feel a conviction that this is a bug is because the bonuses are granted before you even pay "X" (which is why I said you could just press cancel and still get the bonus". The X in the cost is just incidental.

Well, since I am unable to access the SVN for commits (who knows what the deal is), here are some cards that should be ready for prime time.

`
I just made a merge a few minutes ago. Sometimes the SVN will have some sort of a temporary problem which disappears after a short while.

Oh, I think that Genju of the Realm was submitted by Slapshot earlier today.

Starcrash, your Osai Vultures script does not work for me. Here is the test deck I used.

| Open

Despotic Scepter
Osai Vultures
Memnite
Terror

I despotic scepter'd my Memnite and the trigger went on the stack at end of turn, but no counter was placed on the Osai Vultures.

If you are using the Game State tool to test...don't.

[Hellfish]

I think the problem is that all of "CreatureGE1.1.0" is treated as the valid. I will add a restriction to triggers that will let them require that SVars be of a certain value before triggering, like for traps currently.That should work... I hope.

[Hellfish]

Could also be that something is up with my ThisTurnEntered code... Dangit.
