Problem with ALL the creature copy cards

[hansondon]

Hi there!
I was trying to use the Reveillark + Body double combo in a birthing pod deck
and I noticed a problem that
if the body double(or Phyrexian Metamorph, Phantasmal image) in the graveyard has copied a creature card with power greater than 2 before going to the graveyard, then the reveillark cannot return it onto the battlefield.

So I am wondering what can I add to the xml file to make these cards reset their datasheet once they were in the graveyard?

That's strange, and it shouldn't happen because if you look at the cards, they have the aspect of Body Double (or whatever they are) when they aren't in play. It would be understandable if they still had the aspect of the creature they were copying. I guess there's a bug in the reset that the developers didn't notice (because no official card cares about the power of creatures in the graveyard).

You can try to add this ability to Body Double and the other creature-copying cards, but I really don't know if it will help:

Code: Select all

  <STATIC_ABILITY active_zone="ZONE_ANY">
    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="7A">
    if Object():GetZone() ~= ZONE_IN_PLAY then
       local characteristics = Object():GetCurrentCharacteristics() 
       characteristics:Power_Set(0) 
       characteristics:Toughness_Set(0)
    end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  </STATIC_ABILITY>

Same as before:-(
"this card's power prevents it from being targeted by this ability"
Thank you anyway.

I just noticed that there are 2 different Reveillark among our mods: REVEILLARK_623556 and REVEILLARK_38152716. Which one are you using?

[hansondon]

Yeah, I noticed that too.I am comparing these two files now
The one in my deck is REVEILLARK_38152716

Before comparing the files, I'd suggest you to try using the other Reveillark. If that works, then problem solved.

I tried REVEILLARK_623556, works fine until now!
Thank you very much!
