Is this what you had in mind?

Edit: Quick question. Will this transform if the licid becomes a Human somehow and then Moonmist is cast?

That would be transformed if it gained the human subtype and moonmist was cast, yes,because it is marked as a doublefaced card. Here's a fixed version.

EDIT:There seems to be some more issues, though, such as when you pay to end the effect..

Thanks. First test done. Turns out that at the moment, if you transform it back to a creature, it doesn't fall off the enchanted creature, so you also don't lose control of it.

I'm off to a meeting so you have some time to think about it. One last small fix to the script. The mana cost for the transformed licid should also be 1 U U so that its affected by spells that are restricted by cmc.

Thanks for the data regarding Sudden Spoiling Sloth.

This will require some code to fix. The setState AF should check to see if the card just transformed is enchanting something and not an enchantment anymore. If so, run unEnchantEntity. I'll try to make the changes after work if Hellfish doesn't beat me to it.

Rules-wise, that should actually be taken care of in checkStateEffects. It's a simple little if-clause. I believe the problem with when the aura is attached can be addressed further down the road.

Thanks for fixing checkStateEffects. I got the Attach drawback working for the human player. I haven't tested it with the AI yet, but I checked in the code.

Here's the updated script

I tested it by disenchanting with
1) ending the effect
2) Oblivion Ring
3) Naturalize

The controlled creature returned to its owner in all cases. I wanted to wait till I looked at how the AI used the Attach DB before I checked in the card script.

So what's the deal with Planechase cards such as Maelstrom Wanderer? Is it ok to add them? Also, regarding the double cascade of Maelstrom Wanderer, can you just list the keyword twice, or would some other coding magic need to be performed?

As far as future sets go, we should probably create a new branch for it until June when it will be released. (Similar to what we're doing with Dark Ascension)

Not sure about double Cascade.

Ok, thanks for the info!

Just tried scripting Maelstrom Wanderer, and keywording Cascade twice doesn't work.

I know. I tried it a month or so ago and the closest I got was using a static effect to pump a second cascade. It then listed on the card properly, but never triggered twice. The temporary script has been sitting in the half implemented card thread for a while after someone requested it.

I've just uploaded a fix for this. Please test.

Works perfectly, thanks Sloth!

I tried to add a card but the game crashed at startup... any help? My post is at viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6173
