Even still that opponent could always tap lands for mana in response to your instant. If you'd like to tap down your opponents lands, its best to do it during that player's upkeep before they get to draw.

Oh, gotcha, thanks for clarifying it! Looks like we were playing it wrong all along.

The mana cost of Tidal Control should be 1 U U.

Snapshot forge-1.2.16-20121015.112724-9

• There are no avatars visible while playing.
• Mana pool is not updated when going to the next phase. If i tap a land to add 1 mana, the mana pool is empty when i go to the next phase, but it will still display 1.

• I looked a bit more at my Grave Pact and Diamond Kaleidoscope combo that causes Forge to hang.
When i make a token with the kaleidoscope and my token dies the normal way from blocking or other damage, Grave Pact triggers without any problems. When i sacrifice my token to the kaleidoscope, the game stops on the Grave Pact trigger, no error message or anything, you just can't continue.
Also tried this with Ashnod's Altar. Sacrificing the token has the same result. Also sacrificing a "real" creature instead of a token has the same result.
So it seems Grave Pact + sacrifice does not work?

Are you sacrificing for mana inside of casting a spell or outside of casting a spell?

friarsol wrote:Are you sacrificing for mana inside of casting a spell or outside of casting a spell?

No, only for mana to trigger the Grave Pact so the computer has to sacrifice a creature. I don't cast any spells.

EDIT:
just tried it while casting a spell. Then it works

EDIT AGAIN:
When i have to sacrifice my own token to Call to the Grave, Grave Pact triggers and the game continues. So it seems it has to do something with the mana not being used for a spell, but stored in the mana pool? (produced while sacrificing the token to Diamond Kaleidoscope or Ashnod's Altar)

Thanks, will be a while until this is fixed. We're trying to implement some multiplayer features and avatars will be "down for the count" until things stabilize after a while.

I've noticed something similar myself, probably related, using "generate mana" from the dev panel.

It would have made sense if my creature was Trample, but it isn't, and there's no other apparent reason why the AI would sacrifice two creatures on my one creature without killing it.

This has already been fixed.

I fixed the simultaneous stack entry, but i think Meadowboon still always goes on the stack last (must be a targeting input delay).
