A way to limit {X} ? Problem with Kessig Wolf Run
Posted: 03 Sep 2012, 08:54I have a funny problem with Kessig Wolf Run
The card in itself works ratherwell, as far as I know, the problem lies with the way the engine detects the maximum amount of mana I can spend on the X.
The game counts Kessig Wolf Run 's mana ability in the potential X cost, which is therefore one to many.
If I do select the maximum value for X, no mana at all is tapped, and the effect still triggers (makes the card mighty powerful, but that's not the point :p)
Is there a way for "X" to exclude Kessig Wolf Run, or limit it to "maximum value - 1" ?

from the cost for the ability and add an availability condition, as in:
