Collectible Card Game Headquarters

In conjunction with my poison counter adding idea, here's what I've come up with for Hand of the Praetors:

I used an idea from thefiremind's modular creatures to get around the fact that characteristics like infect are currently coded to be recognized only on the battlefield (obviously, no one wants a bunch of badges showing up in their hand/graveyard/library).

It requires the addition of the following code to every creature that has infect:

Code: Select all

  <STATIC_ABILITY active_zone="ZONE_ANY">
    <CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
    ObjectDC():Set_Int( CHARACTERISTIC_INFECT_CHECK, 1 )
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>
  </STATIC_ABILITY>

And the addition of a constant CHARACTERISTIC_INFECT_CHECK to one's constants file.
