Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Yeah, the cancel button is slightly counterintuitive... it probably wouldn't be too hard to enable it when paying for X / Multikicker costs.

LOL! I did not mean the card when I said iceberg but still, nice to see I gave you yet another idea to work on.

Seriously though, if I may hijack the tread a moment, does this mean lands like Gemstone Mine and Hickory Woodlot are possible? (since they come into play with counters)

Sorry for the interruption, you may now go back to getting me my Hurricane.

Yes, they're very possible, see the Modular code for something to ape "EF w/counters" off of(and I remember me having much fun with those, as if the counter's weren't on the cards at the time they entered the field the simply died). Another place to look is Persist, though I think that may be coded...incorrectly(i.e. regenerate and put counter on Instead of destroying, rather than return to field After destroying). Actually, this should preferably moved to the "default permanent" code, but meanwhile, apeing Modular should serve your purposes. As for the mana ability:
Check cost containing regexp "remove a .? counter"' in:
-)Mana ability constructor, if so fetch appropriate counter from Counters and remove one in input_afterPayMana
-)canPlay, if so and source card doesn't have counter return false
-)resolve, sac check(if applicable)
(Look at <http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?text=+[remove]+[counter]+[pool]> for possible cards).

Yeah those cards are easily possible. We support counters after all, and adding mana to the manapool

I just added Hurricane by the way... I guess I'll put in Earthquake and Rolling Earthquake next

Don't forget fireball...

Braingeyser and Drain Life would be nice, a couple more of those old time favorites.

Yeah, actually Drain Life should be possible to keyword with a Drawback$YouGainLife.
Fireball is a tricky card...

Other ideas for X costed cards would be these: (the rather easier ones)

Bloodcurdling Scream
Borrowing the East Wind
Braingeyser
Consume Spirit
Death Denied
Death Grasp
Disembowel
Distorting Wake
Drain Life
Dregs of Sorrow
Earthquake
Energy Bolt
Enrage
Enshrined Memories
Fault Line (Another Earthquake)
Feral Hydra
Flowstone Slide
Forced March
Goblin Offensive
Heat Ray
Howl from Beyond
Hurricane
Invoke the Firemind
Ivy Elemental
Krakilin
Maga, Traitor to Mortals
Mind Shatter
Mind Spring
Mind Warp
Overrule
Profane Command (A rather cool card to use with X costs)
Prosperity
Psychic Drain
Rolling Earthquake
Savage Twister
Shifting Wall
Starstorm
Stream of Life
Stroke of Genius
Swallowing Plague
Vitalizing Cascade
Volcanic Geyser
Wargate
Windstorm (weaker Hurricane)
Word of Binding

Conceptually Fireball is similar to Multi-kicker.

Thanks for the list, apthaven
A bunch of these can probably be done through keywords. Death Grasp for instance worked fine:

Code: Select all

Death Grasp
X W B
Sorcery
no text
spDamageTgtCP:X:Drawback$YouGainLife/X:Death Grasp deals X damage to target creature or player. You gain X life.
SVar:X:Count$xPaid


And yes, Fireball is definitely doable. But it's definitely not keywordable, and making the AI use it effectively is difficult.

Maybe I got confused then. Isn't there a red X spell with only one target?

There's a few I think. Blaze is probably the one you're thinking of

Ahh, THAT would work!

I like your recent UI update.
