Upcoming Release: Forge version 1.5.54

[friarsol]

Hopefully, right around Prerelease for Eldritch Moon. Which is about 3 weeks.

An idea just came to me, but I'd like to get some feedback before I go implement it. A while back I added colored booster packs to the shop. As an extension to that, what would you think of creature/spell/artifact packs (maybe 3 cards each or something)? These could be unlockable in the bazaar, so they won't pollute the shop menu if you don't want them.

Tangentially, I've been wanting a "Booster" Shop for a while now, and maybe a bunch of these things could move to it and be unlockables for it. That way you either goto the Card Shop (for singles) or the Booster shop for Packs.

I really like that idea. I'll think on this a bit and see if I can figure out what needs to be done for it.

Then I just bring up my wish again. When you add artifact packs would it be possible to add an artifact pet and maybe a colorless pet (eldrazi) as well?

I had designed to change the plant wall to be colorless a year or two back, but moomarc never had time to make the art for it.

Good idea.
With regard to the booster shop:
Random availability or everything available?
- some expansions popup very rarely, making it virtually impossible to chase certain cards (mostly uncommons as you can win a rare of your choice in quest drafts) it shouldn't become too easy either, but doable)
- improved availability of commander & conspiracy cards would be nice (currently no fat packs or quest drafts)

Going to do a release a week from today (the 15th).

As of r31457-31458, I implemented the Eternal Masters Oracle changes, including the Winter Orb functional change ( http://www.yawgatog.com/resources/oracl ... s/soi-ema/ ). I did not change the internal names for KWs "You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color(->type)" and "You may cast nonland cards(->spells) as though they had flash" in the code yet, I'm not sure if it's necessary to do it now or not. I noticed that in the current Oracle there's some inconsistency in these names (e.g. Omniscience still uses the old "nonland cards" wording, and many cards, e.g. Oath of Nissa, Unexpected Potential and many more, still use the old "mana of any color" wording) - I checked the current Gatherer wording to confirm it. What do you think?
Also, would it be difficult to change those KW names should we want to? (and is it worth doing it at all?)

P.S. Another thing I'm not sure in is whether the addition of the words "each combat" in Iona's Blessing is a functional change or not (and if it is, then what exactly is necessary to be added to the script for it to work according to the new rules).

Well, I think there is no need to change internal names of the keywords, as long as they display the correct text.

Mana of any color/type, that is actually functional difference. With the first, you can't use colored mana to pay for colorless symbols; with the second, you can. So these should actually be two separate keywords. Since colorless symbols only appeared recently, there might be some weird stuff going on before it's finalized.

Iona's Blessing change is nonfunctional, it's just a clarification.

As Eternal Masters changes didn't have an update bulletin, I believe that these changes will be covered in update bulletin for Eldritch Moon, which we should get (hopefully) sometime this week.

I'm not sure how to best approach this, will probably leave this to someone else for now...

I have added the images for EMN to the download site. Pretty sure I got them all.

[Hanmac]

@KrazyTheFox what images do you mean and where can I download them?

The card images for Eldritch Moon are available through the content downloader now. I've added them to the cardforge.link site that hosts them.

[Shadowzeny]

I do have to say, playing with today's snapshot from KrazyTheFox's repo I am impressed with the speed you can churn these out. 195 cards out of 205, Congratulation guys.
