Re: Card Creation Request Thread
Spreading Seas can only be approximated in DotP 2013 much in the same way that Life and Limb could only be approximated, it is possible to make 100% compliant in DotP 2014 though.
The problem with making it in DotP 2013 is that a card can't have a MANA_ABILITY coded that is not active on the card it is present on. So if you only cast Spreading Seas on Basic lands then you would not have a problem as then you would not need to grant a MANA_ABILITY to the land to produce
as the game automatically gives basic lands their mana abilities. On non-basic lands though you would have to grant a MANA_ABILITY to have it produce
, but since the MANA_ABILITY would not be active on Spreading Seas (it would only be active on the enchanted land) the game would crash.
You could approximate the card by using an ACTIVATED_ABILITY that produces mana tokens, but then it would have issues with Burning-Tree Shaman. Or you could approximate it by forcing the land to become Basic, but then you would have issues with cards that target non-basic lands.
