Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Looks like today is kicking off the spoilers for Khans (even though we've had a few trickle in earlier). Looks like a bunch of interesting stuff.

Delve is back, Wedge Charms, "Outlast" mechanic, which is just a sorcery +1/+1 counter, but comes with a trigger attached to it for flexibility.

So play nice, use the Wiki, everyone knows the deal right?

Here are templates for the four new mechanics:

Does AttackersDeclared assume that you are the player attacking for Raid? What if I cast a Mardu Skullhunter during my opponents turn after he declares an attack?

Seems the hardest card for now is Lens of Clarity. Sidisi has a new trigger in that she triggers only once per milling regardless of number of cards milled. Aven Soulgazer will be probably done sometime in this update, it's a bit similar to the Lens.

How should the Lens be done? Would it be possible to have top of library display like on Courser of Kruphix, but only appearing for the controller? Sphinx of Jwar Isle could work similarly.

Sidisi is much more complicated, not only mill effect but also cards like Life's Finale and Vigean Intuition are affected.

AttackersDeclared only calculates the amount of attackers declared by the card controller. There's a remaining bug in Forge about the "intervening 'if' clause", CheckSVar usually calculates the card controller, not the trigger controller, so it might be wrong when casting GainControl spells in some corner cases.

Sphinx of Jwar Isle is already implemented as a "static ability" meaning an ability that doesn't go on the stack, which isn't quite right since I'm not sure you can activate the Sphinx when you don't have priority even though you should. But it would be the exact same type of thing for the Lens. I'd imagine we can add some parameters into the PeekAndReveal Effect that will allow you to look at hidden cards in non-Library zones (i.e. Morph creatures) for Lens and Aven Soulgazer.

Well, as I understand the Sphinx, it's not activated at all -- it's basically the same thing as having the top card of your library face up when you look at it, but not when anyone else looks. Ideal would be to simply have it in detail panel without any need to click on the card -- but unlike Courser of Kruphix, it would only show in detail panel if it's your Sphinx, not if it belongs to another player.

Aven Soulgazer should be actually easier now, could use the same notice like when face-down card leaves the battlefield. Its effect is one-shot only. For Lens of Clarity, it could modify the normal face-down card rules (only your own are displayed when zoomed) by making it work for opponent's face-down cards as well.

Actually, these things all work beautifully with the new GUI code I'm working on – there you get to see exactly what you're allowed to see, so you'd be able to click on your opponent's creatures to look at them the same way as with your own creatures. Same thing with library, just click on it to see the cards you have access to!
(The change won't be available for some time as we have to refactor a LOT of code, but at some point it should be )

I did a few cards but I don't have commit privileges.
