The creature comes into play tapped, but not attacking.

The Attacking param doesn't work with Hidden$ True.

It doesn't work without it, either. Oh well.

Does anybody know what's wrong with Planar Guide? Did it work in the past?

I am pretty sure I did that one and it was working. Long time ago though.

Okay, it turns out some clown must have screwed around with the script. Here is a working version of it.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. The first test of this looked fine, but then Instants from the graveyard started being pulled into the battlefield. Very strange.

Okay, I need to make the reveal optional if it's a creature. Right now, if Reveal$ True is there, it reveals the card no matter what. Does anyone (I am looking at you Sol) know what can be done here?

It would be pretty simple to add a RevealValid param. Then if Reveal is True, only reveal those card(s) that match valid.

Edit:
Try it with latest SVN. RevealValid$ Creature

No need for Reveal$ True

Gracias Senor!

Re: Prismatic Strands

Give it another try with latest SVN. It should work without adding anything to the card.txt

-slapshot5

Exists In this Topic (Card Development Question) many script cards that has some sort of problem and because of this were not added to SVN.
It would be nice if the problems with these cards were solved and then adds them to SVN.

Thanks

I used a Serra Angel and chose white. It still did 4 points to the AI. Do you see any issues with it?

jeffwadsworth wrote:I used a Serra Angel and chose white. It still did 4 points to the AI. Do you see any issues with it?

No, your script is correct. I introduced a bug with the ChosenColor property when I added support for Scuttlemutt and the like. It's fixed now in SVN. I tested your Prismatic Strands and it works for me now.

Works perfectly. Thanks.

Trying to script Sisters of the Stone Death.

I found one problem in script =>

1) The Third Ability don't return any creature exiled with Sisters of the Stone Death to battlefied. I'd like to know why. Did I made a mistake?

The third ability isn't targeted, it's defined.
