Could someone please help me fix this card? [Solved]

by **julianwelton** » 09 Jun 2014, 17:33

I'm trying to get the card to have "Remove a +1/+1 counter and gain first strike and a +1/+1 counter until end of turn" and after trying it it seems to almost work but it gives me the option to remove 50 counters, which obviously I don't want. Any help correcting this issue would be amazing.

Edit: Apparently my post "looks too spammy for a new user" lol. So here's a zip with the broken card.

I think the problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that firebreathing and counter costs are incompatible. Just remove firebreathing="1" and it should work. I know it's boring to activate it multiple times when you need to, but I'm afraid it's necessary.

Just to let you know, DURATION, AI_AVAILABILITY and AUTO_SKIP are related to the whole ability, not just the single ACTION blocks they follow, so repeating them is useless: just stack them all at the end of the ability. Besides, I wouldn't auto-skip this ability: if the AI plays this card against you, you might want to answer before the ability resolves (but without firebreathing this would get even more boring to activate multiple times in a row, so it's up to you to decide).

Thank you so much! That fixed it.

Alternatively you could change it to"Remove X plus one +1/+1 counters from creature:".

You could use a generic cost like the Chandra Planeswalker or that one suspend card with an X cost. I don't think it would change much since we can't really copy or interact with abilities.
