i can not make vendilion clique and snapcaster mage #-o , someone could help me :?:

Snapcaster Mage may not be possible to implement correctly. As far as I know, nobody has yet figured out a way to grant abilities to other cards. You could certainly make a card in your graveyard playable, but exacting a mana cost for it is far trickier. You can certainly include a <cost> block with a conditional qualifier just about anywhere, but I am under the impression that the argument has to be static. You'll have to play with that one on your own. If it were me, I'd probably take a shortcut - unless your deck plans require the card to be in the graveyard, you could just return it to your hand. This would make for a MUCH simpler card to code without significantly changing the theme or power-level, IMHO.

Vendilion Clique is pretty straightforward, as long as you use a <SPELL_ABILITY> for the discard. I couldn't make the opponent discard from within a COMES_INTO_PLAY trigger for some reason. This also alleviates the problem with making sure your trigger goes off before the legendary rule kicks in. My code is below.

In the future, you'll probably get better help if you show what you've got so far and say what problems you're running into.

Good luck,
Eglin

The problem with Snapcaster Mage is how to the the mana cost, and not the converted mana cost. The rest is easy.
