Hello

I recently discovered SPAT or Type 4 format while playing Manalink and i'm having a lot of fun playing it using my custom decks. I also use to play Forge but it doesn't have this format. By creating thuis card i think its possible to emulate this kind of format.

Any genious can help me create this card so i can test it, please.

THX

I had similar ideas for game-altering rules. This could also facilitate creating new formats.

My idea is a completely new card type -- called Paradigm. Paradigms are created like any other cards. You can script them likewise.

At the beginning of a game, Paradigms are put in the command zone. Thus they take effect throughout the entire game. Players can view the cards to read their effects.

For example, in your case, when a player starts a game in Type 4 format, you tell the game to start with a Paradigm with Type 4 rules and effects. Unfortunately, I predict that infinite mana will be problematic for the AI. It won't know when to stop.

For now, I created three Paradigms. Their names are listed in a file called Paradigms.txt. All paradigms listed therein are enabled. However, this is global, for all games. Ideally, there would be more granular control of which paradigms to enable and disable.
