Gatecrash Spoiler Season

[swordshine]

“T:AB$ Pump” is not correct here. It should be "A:SP$ Pump".
"T" uses for triggers. "A" uses for spells and abilities.
"SP" means spell and "AB" means ability.
BTW, two activation abilities of Foundry Champion is missing. I'll add it.

The recent spoiler gives us Frontline Medic, and it has such ability:
"Sacrifice Frontline Medic: Counter target spell with X in its mana cost unless its controller pays 3."
Is there any method to identify "spell with X in its mana cost"?

There's SpellAbility.isXCost(), but I don't think there's anything scriptwise.

Check out Gaddock Teeg. The Card restriction is hasXCost.

Whoops, i forgot about those
I must have been happy to get the damage part scripted right that i forgot it, thanks.
And thanks for that explanation, it helps clear up a part of the scripting language for me.

Until we get an official FAQ referencing the official rules there's no way to know. But yes, my interpretation is that multiple triggers will happen on the damage. You may choose to put them on the stack in whichever order you like as you normally would, this would constitute as the "any order" since each trigger has a may, this also meets the "any or all of them" line. I guess the main question is "Will there be 1 trigger per Ciphered spell, or 1 trigger with all of the Ciphered spells?"

I have implemented the Cipher mechanic assuming each encoded spell will create its own separate trigger. It will be easy to change if there should only be one trigger. I checked in Call of the Nightwing that I used to test the mechanic with. I am still working on making the mechanic AI playable.
Please let me know if there are any problems with implementation.

Aurelia's Fury is really a challenge.
"Aurelia’s Fury deals X damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or players. Tap each creature dealt damage this way. Players dealt damage this way can’t cast noncreature spells this turn."

I just checked in a version of Whispering Madness into the Gatecrash branch. I tested it in Vandguard with multiple players and everything seems to work right. I wanted the rules experts (hint hint Sol) to take a look and make sure it is working correctly. If it is, I believe Windfall could be converted to script using the same script without the Cipher part. Also Jace's Archivist could be made multiple player compatible in a similar manner.

Looks right to me, and similar to how I would have scripted it. We probably want to add some specific AI for this type of effect, since RepeatEach. Something as simple as not decking yourself, trying to deck any Opponents, and trying to gain some card advantage should be enough for now.

Hey powerclaws,

Any reason you can't test these?

In Assemble the Legion, I'm not sure why your Execute has two things to Execute. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way. You need to call a primary ability and have that subability from the next.

[swordshine]

Thank you for your cards, Powerclaws, but please test them before you post.
Some cards have obvious mistakes.
Skullcrack:"Var:STCantGain:" should be "SVar:STCantGain:"
Leyline Phantom should use "Defined".
And Assemble the Legion should use "TokenKeywords$" instead of "TokenKW$"(and the trigger pointed by friarsol).

The reason i cant test, is because while im writing these in a notepad program, i dunno how to get a saved txt file into a place in forge to be able to load them. Ive tried putting them into the cards folder zip but i dont think forge liked it when i tried.
And i didnt know that Execute worked that way, but now you've said it, all the subability parts ive seen make more sense. Of course, not having any knowledge in java does cause problems sometimes.

[swordshine]

You can unzip cards folder and put the new cards in it. Forge can read the unzipped cards, though a little slower than the zipped one.

Ahhhhh, i only thought forge read the zip, thanks, ill start testing my cards

[PowerClaws]

Ok, so i cant tell what this either needs added or changed, but when i tested this with a Soul Shrine Expedition, the counter wasnt removed.
