Thanks for the help Moomarc and Chris. None of those suggestions worked, however. But then I got radical and deleted and reinstalled everything, and now it's working fine. 
The only thing I haven't done is download and install the Maven zip file and mess around with those dependencies. I have limited experience with such things, so I think I'll wait until I'm feeling more motivated before playing around with that. I also probably need to email someone to get commit permission again, so if someone would like to commit the Explorer's Scope in the meantime please do so.
Thanks again!
One more thing. I noticed that putting a land into play doesn't seen to be optional even though I included Optional$ True.

Commit permission is given by going to User Control Panel, then Usergroups and adding yourself to Developers Forge.

Looking at Coalition Victory. This appears to need multiple conditionals. I am thinking something like:
SP$ WinsGame | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ You | ConditionPresent$ Swamp.YouCtrl | ConditionCompare$ GE1 | ConditionPresent2$ Plains.YouCtrl | ConditionCompare2$ GE1, etc
Does anyone see an alternative?
SP$ WinsGame | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ You | ConditionPresent$ Swamp.YouCtrl | ConditionCompare$ GE1 | ConditionPresent2$ Plains.YouCtrl | ConditionCompare2$ GE1, etc
Does anyone see an alternative?

We should be able to do this with Math and a single SVar adding up the required parts. Also, you can use Domain for the Basic Lands.(SVar:X:Count$Domain)jeffwadsworth wrote:Looking at Coalition Victory. This appears to need multiple conditionals. I am thinking something like:

The Final SVar would be compared to 10 most likely.

Well, we would need a domain type deal for creatures.friarsol wrote:We should be able to do this with Math and a single SVar adding up the required parts.

Domain should only return you from 0-5 (we already use it for things). Maybe it'd be simplest to just add Property similar to Domain but for Colored Creatures. That way we'd just have Domain + "Coalition" Compared EQ 10.jeffwadsworth wrote:Well, the problem with that approach is if you have more than 1 of any one thing. 2 swamps, etc. Unless you have a magical way to differentiate.friarsol wrote:We should be able to do this with Math and a single SVar adding up the required parts.

Yes, I changed my original reply, but not fast enough apparently. I will add that domain deal for creatures.friarsol wrote:Domain should only return you from 0-5 (we already use it for things).

I see what the problem is. The same "CheckSVar" parameter is listed in both Conditionals and Restrictions. We'll need to rename the Conditional one to ConditionCheckSVar so it's only checked on resolution, and not checked in both slots. I wonder if there's a bug with cards that use this that you can Activate them when the CheckSVar passes, but don't resolve if the CheckSVar fails during Resolution.jeffwadsworth wrote:I do not believe that is the correct conditional.
Thus, I think we need your Condition script code here...otherwise the spell does not fire.

Converting Tezzeret the Seeker to script. The changezone is failing to work in the following script. If I substitute a number for X in the "ChangeType$ Artifact.cmcEQX", it works perfectly. With X, it shows me the library, but nothing after that.

Ah. Well ChosenX is right for the Variable. CMC (as well as power and toughness) just don't use variables in the right manner.
- Code: Select all
if (property.substring(z).equals("X")) {
x = CardFactoryUtil.xCount(source, source.getSVar("X"));
} else if (property.substring(z).equals("Y")) {
x = CardFactoryUtil.xCount(source, source.getSVar("Y"));
} else {
x = Integer.parseInt(property.substring(z));
}
