Collectible Card Game Headquarters

So I recently whipped up a card counting script to keep tabs on which set/expansion needed the most cards and I was a bit awed at what I found. We are at this moment only one card away from Forge's first fully implemented set!Granted, it's an introductory set (Starter 2000) and the card in question(Samite Healer) needs some facilities that aren't quite there yet(but in the works, as I understand) but I still think this is an exciting milestone! Major kudos to everyone who's ever contributed and extra so to rares for starting it! I'll be buying a bottle of bubbly for when the commit comes.

Only 32 Alliances cards? I should get on those. I actually own a completed set of Alliances.

Did your script output which cards per set were missing as well? You should submit the script into the SVN so curious parties can run it to get motivation on their favorite cards that don't appear.

A lot of the Alliances cards have some corner case additional effects, optional additional costs or something else that is seldom relevant. I also love this set alot, but figuring out and adding an ability that never gets used is too much work.

That said, I wonder if Viscerid Drone is possible now, i.e. if this works:

Code: Select all

K:abDestroyTgtV T Sac<1/Creature> Sac<1/Swamp>:Creature.nonArtifact:NoRegen:Destroy target nonartifact creature. It can't be regenerated.


Yea I was just looking through the set and most of them would need their own blocks.
Maybe I'll just do a few of the ones that I like the most like Helm of Obedience.

I was just looking at Viscerid Drone earlier and it won't work yet, because of how I wrote up Ability Cost. I couldn't think of any cards that would need more than one sacrifice type, and figured it'd be best to have a working solution for 95% of the cards. Then worry about the next 5% that might be funkier. I'm not sure how much work it would take to expand the code to have more than one type. But if we did we could get other cards Costs working like the Heralds from Shards. And Urborg Panther would work the same way too.

Code: Select all

Angel's Herald
A:AB$Fetch|Cost$2 W T Sac<1/Creature.Green> Sac<1/Creature.White> Sac<1/Creature.Blue>|Destination$Battlefield|FetchType$Card.named.Empyrial Archangel|FetchNum$1|SpellDescription$Search your library for a card named Empyrial Archangel and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.

So our most-implemented actual set is M10

The script does output which specific cards have been implemented, but not very prettily. It was meant just for personal use really, a dirty little VBscript because I couldn't code in anything else at school

I'll see about a proper python script to go with the ones already there.

Rob: A set is a set, even if it's an introductory one Full M10 implementation would be so sweet though... *drools over the thought of a proper M10M10M10 draft in Forge*

These Set listings are not universal - look, next up is FVR... I doubt anyone is doing FVR FVR FVR draft....

Why is From the Vault: Relics almost complete? mtgrares' initial vision - playing with cards no one is likely to actually own.

True, but Starter 2k is a bit bigger than Relics (Only Karn, Silver Golem , Memory Jar and Sundering Titan missing there,btw), even if not a proper set.

As for the missing ones from M10:

Code: Select all

Alluring Siren
Armored Ascension
Awakener Druid
Capricious Efreet
Clone
Consume Spirit
Djinn of Wishes
Dragon Whelp
Firebreathing
Guardian Seraph
Harm's Way
Hive Mind
Ice Cage
Ignite Disorder
Indestructibility
Inferno Elemental
Jackal Familiar
Lightwielder Paladin
Lurking Predators
Magebane Armor
Magma Phoenix
Manabarbs
Mirror of Fate
Open the Vaults
Palace Guard
Panic Attack
Pithing Needle
Polymorph
Prized Unicorn
Protean Hydra
Righteousness
Rise from the Grave
Safe Passage
Sanguine Bond
Silence
Sleep
Soul Bleed
Sphinx Ambassador
Stone Giant
Telepathy
Trumpet Blast
Undead Slayer
Wall of Frost
Warp World
Xathrid Demon
Yawning Fissure
Implemented: 188
Missing: 46
Total: 234


When it comes to actually doing proper set-set-set draft, I think we should limit the availability of sets to those at 70% or higher.

This is very cool. We're one step closer to M10. Just checked in Soul Bleed.

I'm not very savvy with how many of each edition my family has, but we have quite a bit of Ravnica, and that's missing a bit, although radiance,convoke and dimir's special ability aren't in Forge yet(at least, not the Forge I've got) so I can understand the ... gap.

However, once those keywords can be implemented, I'm quite happy to add the missing cards.

....Once I work out Eclipse....

Speaking of milestones, looks like we just hit 5000 cards implemented with r3038.

-slapshot5

Great stuff, we're dangerously approaching the 50% mark of all magic cards made

FWIW - I know that a LOT of people loved Ravnica block drafting. It's easily the most popular out of all the people I know personally and the informal feedback I have seen on Twitter and other locations. I think RGD drafting would create a small boost to Forge's popularity for what that's worth.

Could you update the data above up to last beta Forge? Thanks.
