Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I read in the SVN comments, that snow mana should work in the next version. So here are some cards apart from Chilling Shade to test it on:

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?

This card does not untap during your untap step.

Untap:1 S

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:

Phyrexian Ironfoot

Untap:1 S


And here is the entry for the pic:

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.

Other cards that use snow mana that might be implemented later on if not possible now for future reference.

Diamond Faerie
Gelid Shackles
Mouth of Ronom
Ohran Yeti
Rimefeather Owl
Rimescale Dragon
Scrying Sheets
Stalking Yeti
Thermopod
Zombie Musher

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.
