Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Details of my previous report.
Gavony Unhallowed has bug.
+1/+1 counter was put on it in the graveyard.

stormcat: i can reproduce it with other creatures too like Algae Gharial.
is has something to do when it dies with another creature at the same time.

how to fix that:
the best way would be to add checks to all cards that the Creature is still present on the Battlefield (that should be the easy way with "IsPresent$ Card.StrictlySelf")

5/1/2009: If Deathbringer Thoctar and another creature are dealt lethal damage at the same time, Deathbringer Thoctar will be put into a graveyard before it would receive any counters. Its ability will still trigger, but it will do nothing when it resolves.

Ruling says the Trigger should still happen, but it should do nothing when it resolves.

cards that should be fixed that way:

• Algae Gharial
• Deathbringer Thoctar
• Havengul Vampire
• Kresh the Bloodbraided
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled
• Rockslide Elemental
• Rot Shambler
• Scavenger Drake
• Swarm of Bloodflies
• Unruly Mob
• Village Cannibals

Edit: @stormcat: i fixed this cards, now i did find some more that also need to be fixed too.

Cards that does work not only for another, but for any creature like Blood Cultist.

Vildin-Pack Alpha has bug.
He transformed by cast a spell.
And he doesn't transformed by cast two spells.

@stormcat: i think i did broke Tireless Tracker, while fixing my problem with the Zulaport Cutthroat.

@some of the other developers:
can someone else look at this too? because i totally not understand what is wrong for this cards and why they not trigger for the destruction effects.

@stormcat: yeah i think i did the wrong for WerewolfUntransformCondition, i will fix it later.
Edit: Agetian did it again and was faster than me XD

I fixed this is in r31654.

I also don't know what's wrong with this one, sadly...
As for Tireless Tracker, maybe the fix you committed earlier for Zulaport Cutthroat should be made to honor the TriggerZones restriction so that it doesn't fire for the zones it's not supposed to (e.g. graveyard)?

- Agetian

@Agetian: It does honor the Trigger zones, but I changed it, that it uses game changesZoneLKI.

I was using it to make it work for that destroy all cards with extra effect.

That was probably the wrong way. I think the right way would be to fix the "destroy all" spells instead. (Because some does work and some does not)

@Some other developers an idea?

Edit: i reverted my change with changesZoneLKI in TriggerHandler it does breaks more than it fix.

now the problem is back again that some DestoryAllEffects does cause cards like Zulaport Cutthroat to trigger ... probably the GameState or something like that is wrong.

When the AI casts charm spells (eg. Selesnya Charm, Dromoka's Command) without paying costs (eg. Bloodbraid Elf, Goblin Dark-Dwellers), no choices are made. It seems that playSaFromPlayEffect() is not constructing the CharmEffect correctly as chooseModeForAbility() is not being called for the AI to set its choices.

I only checked that this bug existed in r31649 and it may go back even further.

Ah. I think this is because Midnight Scavengers isn't marked as a Meld card. Meld isn't 100% finished yet.

r31675:
Hanweir Garrison makes red Soldier tokens instead of Humans.
Ride Down doesn't give Trample to the blocked creature.

hm i added a bit of Features to make the Meld cards better working.
(ImageUtil now works without crashing)

while testing i did use Brisela with a Clone:
Brisela is coded as Melded Face of Gisela (visible when pressing the Transform swirl)
but when the Clone does enters the Battlefield, it does transform into Bruna ... from my current understanding that should not even possible! (because Bruna is inside of Brisela and should not be available for the Clone)

so there is something wrong with either CardFactory or Clone Effect.
(they may not know what to do with Meld yet)

but i still don't know what is going on XD

Edit: i fixed it, but i stil don't know where the Bruna did come from.

When Copy of Permeating Mass dies, it is still copy in graveyard.

I can confirm that this can happen if the creature that Permeating Mass damages dies at the same time as it gets damaged, in which case the AB Clone triggers in a delayed way when the card is already in the graveyard. A good example: Permeating Mass is blocked by Abattoir Ghoul, and then Permeating Mass gets Giant Growth'ed. The ghoul dies and turns into a Permeating Mass while already in the graveyard.

I'm thinking about adding a restriction to AB Clone which would make it impossible for cards to become clones when they're in certain zones, but I'm not sure which zones to limit this to. At first I thought that "battlefield only" would be a good and logical choice, but that makes cards such as Clone impossible to play because apparently they become clones while on the Stack. Would Battlefield + Stack be enough then (at the very least it fixes Permeating Mass and doesn't break Clone), or are there other caveats? Also, maybe there's a better way to fix this?..

- Agetian

@Agetian: that sounds like an good way to fix it.

My way would be to add an ConditionPresent to just Permeating Mass and leave Clone alone for now.
