Magic 2015 Spoiler Season

[chitsujo]

Hey there,

This may be the wrong place for this, but I've been testing out M15 cards.

As written, Invasive Species doesn't work properly. The EBT bounce effect triggers and goes on the stack, but doesn't give any option to actually select and bounce another nonland permanent. I compared the code to other rescue creatures like Stonecloaker, and it looks good, although I don't really know what I'm doing either.

@torridus, Jallax, Master Polymorphogist is missing.

My first iteration of the code didn't work as expected, so I recoded the card and haven't had a solid opportunity to test it yet. I'll add Jallax to this thread whenever I've made sure the card works properly.

Evidently Jallax is Jalira, so I've updated my code (below) with the correct official information.

I'm having some difficulties at the moment so in case I don't get around to testing the card's code, here it is:

Jalira, Master Polymorphogist | Open

Code: Select all

Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the the bottom of your library in a random order.

Oracle: {2}{U}, {T}, Sacrifice another creature: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonlegendary creature card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

EDIT: Jalira has successfully been tested. Seems to work fine - I'm not 100% sure if cards are going to the bottom in a random order, but I don't know if Forge allows for this. The code in this post has been updated to be correct.

And although swordshine claimed Hornet Nest, I had to code it to test something. If it's already done, just ignore this:

Hornet Nest | Open

Code: Select all

It's probably worth merging M15 back into the trunk, and maybe post a pre-release snapshot for those interested.

I believe elcnesh and swordshine already handled the Oracle changes of cards last week. (Since they showed up in mtgdata as differences to oracle text). Not sure if anything else really affects us.

Probably not, seems no Comprehensive rules changes were functinal.
