And don't forget to add the Snow supertype to Boreal Druid (I hope he produces snow mana then).

Maybe Boreal Centaur would also work? How are the ability restrictions?

And would Phyrexian Ironfoot work as this?

I think Boreal Centaur needs some additional code in cardfactory, but Phyrexian Ironfoot is (nearly) alright. Good catch Marek!

I think this is the proper wording for cards.txt:

Ah, it must be worded as "phase"? But "untap phase" doesn't, technically speaking, exist since Sixth Edition - it's "untap step" these days.

Well, you're right. It's not the proper terminology any more, but that's how the keyword is recognized:

Really, if it's a recognized keyword, I'd suggest it shouldn't attempt to look like rules text. Might be a simple one-word identifier like noUntap :)

The ability per-turn limit is a hardcoded list in CardFactoryUtil.

Personally I view all steps as phases which is technically incorrect but it doesn't seem to matter now that the mana pool empties at the end of turn instead of the old way when the mana pool emptied (and burned you) at the end of every phase (but not step).

Mana is still supposed to empty between phases, it just doesn't deal damage.

If I'm not looking at the comprehensive rules, I'm probably wrong. Rules are hard, ha.

Actually, it empties between steps now as well.
