Final six cards for now: Kefnet's Monument, Oketra's Monument, Oracle's Vault (please check it, it's complicated), Regal Caracal, Rhonas's Monument and Throne of the God-Pharaoh.

Problematic cards: apart from embalm and exert, I couldn't add the following:

As Foretold - not sure how to implement the once-per-turn restriction there.
Miasma Mummy - I don't have an official English version yet.
Nest of Scarabs - not sure about the trigger condition
Rags//Riches - choice
Watchers of the Dead - choice

Four more cards (added to batch 5): Graceful Cat, Liliana, Death Wielder, Manglehorn and Tattered Mummy.

I'm fairly certain Nest of Scarabs works along these lines, but the code isn't 100% complete. As I've written it, the trigger happens whenever any player adds a -1/-1 counter.

Nest of Scarabs | Open

Code: Select all

Oracle:Whenever you put one or more -1/-1 counters on a creature, create that many 1/1 black Insect creature tokens.

Either way, once Scarabs is figured out, its effect can be copy/pasted onto this unofficially-spoiled creature (also with incomplete code & missing "may" clause) -

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons | Open

Code: Select all

Nest of Scarabs, the trigger need a Flag for the Source. I need to check the code if there is something for that.

Thanks for the zip files Marek, makes it much easier to commit files.

I found some bugs in there, someone need to fix them later.

Like Gideon still has some ability of his Ally counterpart

Ah, sorry

There's also a question of AI. For example, since Gideon's "ultimate" is accessible from start, does it make sense for AI to always use it? I think you probably should if you are reasonably sure you can protect Gideon (or if you have a spare), but not otherwise...

Batch no. 6 -- containing Companion of the Trials, Curator of Mysteries, Dessicated Naga, Failure//Comply, Gideon, Martial Paragon, Gideon's Resolve, Hazoret's Favor, Liliana's Influence, Liliana, Death's Majesty and Soul-Scar Mage.

Test Failure//Comply and Soul-Scar Mage well, those were the hardest ones.

did add Embalm, feel free to add cards.
example:

Code: Select all

Name:Sacred Cat
ManaCost:W
Types:Creature Cat
PT:1/1
K:Lifelink
K:Embalm:W
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/sacred_cat.jpg
Oracle:Lifelink\nEmbalm {W} ({W}, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie Cat with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery.)

the image key is currently "embalm_CARDNAME"

the Spell Ability Description currently uses a modified Reminder Text with "in addition to it's other types"

Two small things I've noticed when coding:

1. Battle-Rattle Shaman should probably have PlayMain1 note, as its ability can boost a creature in a combat even on the turn you play it.

2. Curse of Oblivion (and probably other similar Auras) uses Player.EnchantedBy in their trigger condition, and also in DefinedPlayer$ for its effect, but that is not correct. Once the ability triggers, it doesn't care where the Curse is, it's locked onto the player it triggered for. I am not sure if it's even possible to move the Curse before the ability resolves, but it should use TriggeredPlayer in its effect nonetheless.

Batch for today: Angel of Sanctions, Anointer Priest, Bounty of the Luxa, Cruel Reality, Dissenter's Delivery, Nimble-Blade Khenra, Supply Caravan, Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun, Trueheart Duelist, Unwavering Initiate, and Winged Shepherd.
