cards with Paintap

Postby Sloth » 07 Jul 2010, 11:54

I found some more cards that can be added by using the paintap keyword.

Since the paintap keyword doesn't really deal damage but just substracts life and mana abilities can't be countered, I'm so free as to also suggest cards that have an activation cost of paying life. If someone finds a problem with that, let me know.

Also I want to provide two little fixes:

Reported by Slowe: Trinket Mage has wrong subtype
cards.txt:
Code: Select all
Trinket Mage
2 U
Creature Human Wizard
When Trinket Mage comes into play, you may search your library for an artifact card with converted mana cost 1 or less, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.
2/2
and Sejiri Merfolk is missing it's picture:

Might I suggest renaming the current functionality as "lifetap" and make the simple change in paintap to use damage?

This leaves room for damage prevention effects to bypass the pain.

lifetap should expect signed integers, on the off chance gaining life is ever used as a cost... sorta like untap. (maybe something from the MSE custom card groups..)
