You can test any card's code by posting the code in a text file, then dragging that file in the cardsfolder zip, i.e soul_separator (text files for cards are written that way) in cardsfolder's "s" category. It works for me, at least.
You'll also need a custom edition text file for Forge to recognize what set the card is from and load its image, which would come from the set folder not yet existing, though it's optional.
Some mechanics are still missing, so if you try to make a card that uses one, it probably won't work.
Lastly, I don't think it's polite to do this, but I noticed some bugs in advance, so I figured why not report what's wrong.

Right, Liliana, the Last Hope's ultimate will resolve, but it won't give you any Zombies, whether you have any or not.

add Identity Thief i tested it with Ulrich and Thief can copy a Night side Ulrich.

i needed Imprint, so Remember is for LKI only. (or better way?)
DelayedTrigger need to be before Clone, because it does cleanup,
whats why it doesn't need DBCleanup, right?

Oracle:If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard a card, you may reveal that card and put it on top of your library instead of putting it anywhere else.\ņ{T}: Add {C} to your mana pool.

for that i added ReplacedSource and add that Player.discard does check for Cause$.

using that cases there:
http://magicjudge.tumblr.com/post/14689 ... ia-academy
most of the stuff does work, BUT currently the interaction with Madness does not.
(Madness should not be able to Trigger if i say that it should apply the ReplacementEffect from the Academy)

I copied Marek's master file into scripts and committed along with the editions file. If you have fixes or new cards that haven't been committed, please commit to trunk on your own.

IntroPacks are available:
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/ar ... 2016-07-13

i will see if i got the time to commit them.

I packaged the EMN Tokens from the wizards page,
for these who can't wait for HQ ones.

i will pack the XLHQ tokens of the other sets in a forge friendly naming later some day.

Noticed you worked on protection from all colors -- is it still internally considered the five separate protections? Rules say:

702.16h “Protection from all [characteristic]” is shorthand for “protection from [quality A],” “protection from [quality B],” and so on for each possible quality the listed characteristic could have; it behaves as multiple separate protection abilities. If an effect causes an object with such an ability to lose protection from [quality A], for example, that object would still have protection from [quality B], [quality C], and so on.

@Marek14: arg I thought that it would bite me :/

I just wanted it to look better :/

Hm so either I need to revert it back or thinking of a way to make it otherwise working.
===
I look out and Cephalid Snitch is the only one that can remove protection from a color.

PS: Spectra Ward also has something like that but Cephalid Snitch can't target it.
(but if it would be colorless, then it could target and remove something)

Hm maybe I think about that turns [WUBRG] into [WURG] until end of turn.

It was probably good the way it was -- the problem is also that if a card says "protection from all colors", the protection can't be affected by text-changing effects, whereas if it would list all five protections individually, it could be.

Yeah I know about that card change thing. One of the reasons I did that change.

Before and currently, Spectra Ward is broken for Cephalid Snitch. I will try to fix that.

If it's OK I'm going to temporarily revert the protection from all colors change in light of the upcoming beta release scheduled for today. Or are you planning to commit a better solution before the release, Hanmac?

- Agetian

I think I will manage to commit that and some more tiny fixes before the release.
===
Only bad that I didn't get the Meld stuff from @friarsol and that Eldrazi blade until that release today :/ but maybe I manage something if I hurry

kk! Good luck!

For this changing of "Protection of all" do cards like Balduvian Shaman, Mind Bend, Sleight of Mind, ... have to be considered, too?

I'm not sure since the 5 colors are not printed on the card so the text cannot be changed.
The rule says that "from all" just is shorthand for "from black, from blue, ...". So does it only behave this way or does the text virtually change?

@Phoenix: they are not Intrinsic so it does not work.
(text changing doesn't work for all colors)

@Agetian: i think i fixed it.
"Protection from all colors" does turn into "Protection from white", "Protection from blue", "Protection from red", "Protection from green"
if you remove "Protection from black".
(they still can't be effected by text change)

while doing that, i did Spectra Ward too.

Code: Select all

Protection:Card.nonColorless:Protection from all colors:Aura

does split into:

Code: Select all

Protection:Card.<color>:Protection from <color>:Aura

and while doing that, i also did a look at the Ward Spells like Black Ward:

Code: Select all

Protection:Card.Black:Protection from black:Card.CardUID_HostCardUID

can be removed too.


The only thing where i was unsure is about that has ChosenColor:

Code: Select all

Protection:Card.ChosenColor:Protection from ChosenColor:Card.CardUID_HostCardUID

i don't know if that should be able to remove too.
