Collectible Card Game Headquarters

If you have encountered any problems while using XMage 1.4.1 you can post them here.
Please mention who you were playing against: Human or the AI type.
Please describe how you got to that point. A screenshot of the battlefield at the moment something went wrong will be useful too. Otherwise, naming the cards that interacted will suffice. If you get an error log please add that too.

Thank you for your help in detecting bugs.

During a game i was at 29 Life and had a Serra Ascendant blocked by a Snapcaster Mage. In Combat Damage Step Lifelink brought me to 30 Life, but my Serra Ascendant still died, although this should not happen according to the rules.

LevelX: Fixed beyond 1.4.1v2

I've been getting a big amount of graphical glitches as of this version. Whenever I resize the main window all the elements only show up if I hover over them with my mouse. In addition, opening a new tournament/new match window has the same thing. Elements of the new opened window only become visible after hovering over them or dragging the window. I am on windows 7 x64, launching through the 0.3.4 launcher. Restarting xmage and the launcher and reconnecting does not seem to fix it.

Here is a video on what the problem is:

youtu . be / EB2iDFtTjMA

as you can see, this version of the client is practically unplayable.

LevelX: Fixed with 1.4.1v1

Hi, as of V1 I have encountered 2 bugs.

Bug 1: I had a forest "stuck" in hand. I had another identical forest in play, and every time I wanted to play my forest from hand, the forest on the battlefield would get tapped, and I was unable to play the forest from my hand.

Bug 2: Forest in play, played a rakdos carnarium from my hand. Tried to boune my forest. Instead, I kept my forest on the battlefield, and got a forest in my hand... Now, whenever I tried to play the "cloned" forest from my hand, it would instead tap the forest on the battlefield.

Edit: It might actually be the same situation, but maybe I didn't take notice the first time.

LevelX: The question is, what card did move the land? There is the problem I have to check. So game log would be helpful or if you remember post the name of the card that created the effect.

Edit2: The card that moved the forest was Rakdos Carnarium. (When Rakdos Carnarium enters the battlefield, return a land you control to its owner's hand.)

LevelX: Fixed beyond 1.4.1v1

When i tap urza land, i cant cast expedition map. Mana is in colorless mana pool, but when i cast map, there is still "pay 1 mana" barrier.

LevelX: Did you click on the mana in the mana pool to use it? Because the new option to not automatically use mana that is already in the pool is by default "on".

Played Selesnya Sanctuary, bouncing a Mana Confluence. The Mana Confluence stayed on the battlefield, and a Mana Confluence appeared in my hand.


LevelX: Fixed beyond 1.4.1v1

Sleight of Hand leaves the card picker open even after picking the card and moving it to hand. The window cannot be closed and it has focus. The only thing i can do is to click on one of the cards again.

LevelX: Can't reproduce this. Game log can be useful if caused by effects from other cards bit more likely it was a network problem.

Resolution of Storm trigger creates no copies.

LevelX: Can't reproduce this yet.

My opponent put Iona on the battlefield using Unburial Rites, but my game log didn't show me the color he has chosen.

LevelX: Can't reproduce this. Reworked Iona's color choosing.

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir does not give flash to creatures in the command zone, while it should.

LevelX: Fixed beyond 1.4.1v1

Searing Blaze's landfall doesn't appear to be working. My opponent played a mountain, then played searing blaze targeting my Tasigur, the Golden Fang. It only dealt 1 damage to me, where it should've dealt 3, because my opponent had played a land.

LevelX: Fixed beyond 1.4.1v1

I was testing an Avarice Totem deck against the AI and I had used it to gain control of a Serra Ascendant, Soul Warden, and Ajani's Pridemate (with +1/+1 counters on it) so far. I pass the turn to the AI and during its main phase 1 it activates a Martyr of Sands ability, reveals a Proclamation of Rebirth from its hand to gain 3 life and as the Martyr's ability shows on the stack, for no apparent reason, all the creatures I had gained control of switch back to the AI's side of the table.

Another semi-related bug I found at the same time: I tried to roll back to the start of that turn to see if it would happen again and instead of placing the 3 creatures back on my side they stayed on the AI's side (even though I had control of them at the start of that turn) and my Avarice Totem that was currently under the AI's control switched back to my side, leading me to believe that the roll back feature has trouble with the concept of "owned" and "controlled" permanents when rolling back.

Also, after this I tried rolling back even further to the start of the turn before that (my turn), I did my turn, and after I passed to what should now be the AI's turn it started a new turn for me, as if I had somehow gained an extra turn.

Here's the chat log, for easier illustration of what I mean (notice both turn 17 and 18 are mine even though neither deck even contains any cards that gives extra turns and turn 18 belonged to the AI before the roll back):

It doesn't seem like localhost games against the AI save any logs (at least that I have found) but I attached a screenshot of the table as it was after the events of the spoiler above, in case it helps in any way reproducing the problem(s).

LevelX: Fixed with 1.4.1

I just got this graphical glitch on 1.4.1 for the first time. Exactly the same as what happened to me a bunch on 1.4.0 starting yesterday.

LevelX: It was really 1.4.1v1 and not 1.4.1v0?

In a game of commander 4 way FFA, I dealt 21 commander damage with Shu Yun (5 on one turn, 16 on the next due to 8 power double strike) while equipped with batterskull. However, the player did not lose taking 21 commander damage (see image at http://imgur.com/Lvetwrd.jpg, I'm new user so can't post image).

LevelX: Fixed with 1.4.1v3.

I am playing against the AI. With a Stampeding Wildebeests in play, whatever I target for their bounce effect just creates a duplicate of the card and puts that in my hand. I can neither discard or play it from my hand. Even when an effect requires me too. The card that remains in play can be retargeted during a following round and it satisfies the bounce effect, but it does not create another copy.

If I do draw another card of the same type it can be cast from my hand as normal. The "bounced copy" still stays in my hand though.

This is 1.4.1v1
I have the gamelog if you need it. I wasn't sure how to post the html here.

LevelX: Fixed with 1.4.1v2

Also the launcher no longer launches the server or client. I have to run the .bat myself.

LevelX: Did you click on the mana in the mana pool to use it? Becuase the new option to not automatically use mana that is already in the pool is by default "on".

When i turn off that option (in-match right click), its only temporarily. Next match (or restart xmage?) that option is off, but i still must use mana manually, so i must turn it on/off once again. Is there permanent solution?
