Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Battle Cry and Beastmaster Ascension just change how a game should be played so much. Thanks for thinking about this.

I think that at one time the Doran, the Siege Tower attack code was hard coded. Not sure, but if it still is it may be possible to add in a test for Beastmaster Ascension into the same code block.

Then again, sometimes things just are not as simple as we would hope.

This might be difficult to code, but I would like to see something where if the computer drops a Beastmaster Ascension, it goes into an all-out attack mode. I'd also like to see people that build decks better than I do integrate the Best. Combo. Ever. Which is Beastmaster Ascension + Doubling Season.

AI enchanted my Lys Alana Huntmaster with Volition Reins. On my next turn I cast Elvish Archdruid and the AI got a 1/1 Elf Warrior token.

I started casting Kodama's Reach while the AI had a Glowrider out, but aborted it before paying the mana cost. Later, after I had killed the Glowrider, I wanted to cast it again, but I was still prompted to pay G3. However, the other Reach I held in hand cost G2, as normal. The same effect appears to apply to other non-creature cards as well.

I was playing the W Battle Cry deck and noticed a huge spam of Attack logs clicking through, probably one for each creature? But it also seems to be calling this during Main2. The AI shouldn't be considering if he's attacking after Attackers have (not) been Declared.

I'm not sure what causes this. Can you post a full error report.

Updating build and trying to duplicate.

AI had a Quest for the Nihil Stone with 2 counters on it. I had 2 cards in hand, but I still lost 5 life. It looks like it's not checking both of the conditions properly.

Yes, the card is not scriptable at the moment, since it needs two isPresent requirements. I will see, if I can implement something like "isPresent2$ ".

EDIT: Did just that. Was really simple.

I noticed some odd things with cost changing effects, too. These were from older revisions, though, but didn't get fixed, I think:
- Spectral Procession is not affected by cost increasing effects if cast for WWW.
- Any spell that was cast or announced to be cast while a cost chaning effect was active will still have its changed cost when cast again later, either by cancelling the casting process or by recurring it.
