Miracle

Might as well post what I've come up with for the Miracle ability, while I'm at it (I've only tested this on Temporal Mastery):

You may find my own here. I made different choices about the triggers, i only used a zone change trigger, and checked for MTG():Interrogate_CardsDrawnThisTurn() == 1. Meaning at the time of evaluation the current card is the first card drawn.

Your aproach to actually paying the miracle cost is a lot better than mine. I used a Object():TapLands() in a resolution action which works but is not as user friendly as it should. Also does not work for .

I was initially going to go solely with zone change triggers, but I wanted to be absolutely sure that the ability triggers only on actual card draw. It's probably just paranoia, but I think there could actually be instances where you've drawn a different card and something puts a miracle card into your hand via a non-draw method. That would satisfy the interrogation, but shouldn't trigger the miracle ability. It's not a likely event, to be sure, and it probably doesn't matter one way or the other.

I do recommend the conditional cost route for the reasons you mention.

[RiiakShiNal]

A miracle card could be put into hand via a non-draw method such as a Demonic Tutor. Player draws a Demonic Tutor searches for a miracle card which is then put in hand (but not drawn). In that case the zone changed from Library to Hand, but not due to a draw event so using the DREW_CARD trigger is more than likely the better solution.

I was more worried about instant search effects (for some reason the only one that comes to mind right now is Gifts Ungiven) happening during another player's turn (when you wouldn't have already drawn a card). In any case, I see no reason not to play it safe here.

[RiiakShiNal]

I just gave one example of how someone could put a miracle card into their hand without drawing it, I never said it was the only possibility. Archmage Ascension with say an Archivist could be used to search for cards in instant time basically at will. You could even use a Howling Mine to get counters faster and search for even more cards.

My code should be able to handle that (I hope), but I see I'll have to do some testing later tonight.

[BlindWillow]

That does cause problems. Not sure why an overridden draw ability still triggers the "drew card" trigger, but apparently it does. Maybe it is considered as having triggered before the override? Anyway, back to the drawing board...

If it works like DotP2012, the override variable is shared between triggers of the same type, so if you don't want 2 overriding triggers to "overlap", make them trigger only if override == 0 (or override == true, I always forget which one works). That would mean that no other trigger is already overriding.

[BlindWillow]

Never mind. False alarm. I just hadn't copied over my newer code to my laptop. The old code had a zone change trigger instead of a card draw trigger, so of course it would trigger.

Edit: Even worse than that. Apparently I have been working on a file that included both my old code and new code (forgot to delete the old after copying what I needed from it, I assume). From the top, the miracle code is off-screen, and from the bottom, only the miracle code is on-screen. I have been happily pressing ctrl+end to work on the miracle ability, never realizing that the entire time the game has merely been reading my old code at the top. It really is back to the drawing board...

Alright, here we go (and this time I'll post the whole xml file so someone can check if I'm doing something careless):

Conditions tested:
1) draw step draw
2) draw effect positive (i.e. multiple cards drawn with Temporal Mastery the first)
3) draw effect negative (i.e. multiple cards drawn with TM not the first)
4) overridden draw effect
5) card search
Everything seems to be working, but I would definitely appreciate confirmation from someone else.

[BlindWillow]

Man, I feel like this ability is more of a curse than a miracle. I swear the only thing I changed after testing it this morning was the cost of the ability and CanAfford check (I had it set to for testing). Now I get back and try it and see it's not working at all.

Well, I don't know why I didn't just go with a delayed trigger in the first place, but that's what I'll switch to now. I'm thinking I'll have to use a state based effects trigger and make sure it triggers just once.

Thanks for the help. This ability is a tough one. My testing of the above code indicates there's still a problem with a multiple card draw. When I put TM on top of the library and draw several cards (in my testing with a Tezzeret's Gambit) it doesn't trigger.

I sure like the look of your cleaner code, though.

[thefiremind]

When I put TM on top of the library and draw several cards (in my testing with a Tezzeret's Gambit) it doesn't trigger.

That's probably because when you draw more than 1 card without checking state-based effects in between, the ZONECHANGE trigger sets the delayed DREW_CARD trigger ready to be fired, but when it's time to see if it can actually be fired, the cards you drew are already more than 1, and the delayed trigger fails.
Too bad that the DREW_CARD trigger carries only the player who drew, and not the drawn card, otherwise it would be really easy.

Did someone try to use a pre_trigger DREW_CARD trigger? If it fires when the miracle card is still on top of the library, you can actually check that it's the card you are about to draw. Something like:

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY internal="1" pre_trigger="1" active_zone="ZONE_LIBRARY">
    <TRIGGER value="DREW_CARD">
    if TriggerPlayer() == EffectController() and
    EffectController():Library_GetNth(0) == Object() and
    MTG():Interrogate_CardsDrawnThisTurn(EffectController()) == 0 then
       local delayDC = EffectDC():Make_Chest(1)
       delayDC:Set_CardPtr(0, Object())
       delayDC:Protect_CardPtr(0)
       MTG():CreateDelayedTrigger(1, delayDC)
    end
    return false
    </TRIGGER>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY forced_skip="1" active_zone="ZONE_ANY" resource_id="1">
    <CLEANUP simple_cleanup="EndOfTurn" />
    <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_END" to_zone="ZONE_HAND" from_zone="ZONE_LIBRARY" />
    return EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0) ~= nil and TriggerObject() == EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0)
    </TRIGGER>
    <COST type="Mana" cost="{1}{U}" qualifier="conditional" />
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION conditional="if">
    if EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0) ~= nil then
       EffectDC():Get_CardPtr(0):PlayFreeFromAnywhere(EffectController())
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

I wrote "== 0" instead of "== 1" because the draw hasn't happened yet. About the Protect_CardPtr, I'm not 100% sure if it's needed, but the card moves from the library to the hand, so I think that the pointer needs protection from 1 zone change. See if you can get something good out of this (given that the pre_trigger works as I would expect).
