Thanks for the contributed card scripts, Braullynn

Some fixes in the version that I've added to our repository:
Goblin Grenade shouldn't have "ability=flying,vigilance"
Saproling Symbiosis shouldn't have "ability=flash"

Currently, "ability" is only meant for creatures.

The following cards can't be implemented under the current engine
Saproling Symbiosis - "You may cast Saproling Symbiosis any time you could cast an instant if you pay more to cast it" not supported
Goblin Matron - library search no supported, but it is being worked on

[Braullynn]

yo!, sorry for the abilities being in the wrong corner, I was very sleepy when I make the cards, I'll be more careful the next time

For card contributors, do check this list before working on new cards. Thanks!

Here's my first attempt, Dimir Cutpurse. Tested it and it's working well.
Edit: Got another similar card working, Neurok Commando

Having issues with commits not showing in my clone so i'll just post the code for Divinity of Pride here:

Thanks for the contributions, PhazedOut. I see your commits in https://code.google.com/r/swanninger-ma ... ource/list so it seems you got it working. That's great! It is much easier to pull from your commits rather than get the cards from attachments. Could you also add your earlier two cards to your repo?

[PhazedOut]

Yes i can do that no problem. Ignore the first three by the way, I was still figuring things out at that point.

Also, is there any way to keep the AI from using a card? So if we want to make a card that might make the AI go nutty can we limit it to player use only?

Ok, I see that the first and third commit cancels each other out, I'll just revert the second one. mercurial cannot selectively pull changes.

No. Which card/effect is causing problems? The proper solution would be to fix the AI.

Updated https://code.google.com/p/magarena/wiki/UpcomingCards with all the cards submitted so far for 1.33. Added link to this page in the first post.

Well I was thinking about the no multiple target rule. I wanted to try and do Cryptic Command, but since there are multiple choices it might be a problem for AI. Would there be a way to have card specific code that forces the AI to use it only one way? For instance with Cryptic Command could we say the AI only uses it as a "counter target spell and draw a card"?

Possible, but we'd prefer not to have card specific code for the AI so that the AI has the same ability as the player. Generally, we prefer to alter game rules and leave out cards so that the AI is challenging, refer to https://code.google.com/p/magarena/wiki/GameDesign

Wonderful, just merged them. Expect to see them appear in 1.33 in a couple of hours.
