This update doesn't include art for any of the updated cards.

-Add Wall of Omens
-Replace Vine Trellis with Overgrown Battlement
-Replace Dwarven Warriors with Goblin Tunneler
-Implemented "Duh Mode" (config option). When this is enabled, certain cards that have no-brainer choices do not ask you to choose any more. Currently, the list of "duh" cards is:
-Wall of Reverence
-Squee
-Krovokian Horror
-Bringer of the Green / Blue Dawn
-Narcomeoba

-Rolled back to previous version of 'play spell for free' code, since Bloodbraid Elf etc were acting quirky
-Undead Warchief only works while he is in play
-Fix rare counting issue with Tarmogoyf (was messed up with Flashback spells)
-Multikicker cancel cheat has been fixed
-AI will not play Everflowing Chalice for 0
-Umexawa's Jitte code reworked again, hopefully actually works 100% now
-Rewrote Platinum Angel to be much closer to the actual version (including no decking)
-AI will not chump block with Platinum Angel
-AI will use Gorilla Shaman now
-Keiga/Ryusei will not trigger when RFG's or countered
-Change Ascendant Evincar text to 3/3
-Fix interaction of cascade and CC > 10 (ex: Darksteel Colossus)
-Goblin King didn't always pump all goblines. Does now.
-Wall of Roots no longer becomes gold when activated

Thank you Jatill ! :D

Wall of Omen is my favorite card in RoE edition (I was sure it will be coded one day or another that's why I didn't asked for it after the last tournament :wink: ).
Several of your fixes will be also really appreciated (Platinum Angel, Gorilla Shaman, Bloodbraid Elf...).

Great :)
Just some questions:
1 - have you red my thread about veindrinker copied multiple times by My2000 editor?
2 - which of those new cards does actually have a new address for card ability code? If I replace only manalinkEH.dll and manalinkEX.dll, should it still be fine?
3 - fix Sylvan Library, please! :P

1 - Yes. Fixing that is low on my list, but I'll probably get to it eventually.
2 - Just Overgrown Battlement. Not sure what you mean about the dlls
3 - Don't know how, or I would :/

Let's start from the most important:
3) About Sylvan Library, here is my advice. A gret thing about it, is that it does really makes the player to draw cards (which turns very useful eg with Lorescale Coatl). What makes things irritating is that the card randomly forces the player to hold cards in hand, loosing life, as if the player was subjected to the same scripts used for AI. Now, if you can't restore it, I think it would be a nice compromise to clone Jace, the Mind Sculptor's second effect as a triggered effect at the beginning of the draw phase. Since we can't choose when and if to hold cards in hand (90% of times we wouldn't do that anyway), at least we wouldn't loose life points when using that card.
2) I refer to the Code Pointer. For example, Calice of the Void has the code pointer at address (or whatever) "00401000". As far as I've understood things, My2000 copies into the MagicCustom.exe only cards' static informations while any true card's ability is stored in the EX and EH.dll files, right? So, as long I update those files, I should automatically update my custom version without the need to "refresh" the cards. *BUT* if you have set aside the old code and written a new one in a new location, then I need to know that in order to manually update my custom version.
1) it is not urgent for me neither, as long as I can manually do the changes with SkyMagic editor :)

It would be awesome if you could turn Nantuko Husk into Bloodthrone Vampire, we already have Phyrexian Ghoul who's got a better flavour, as a clone of Husk.

Jatill, Overgrown Battlement is not working as it should: it "only" gives mana for any other Overgrown Battlement that I contorll, but it is not considering other Defender cards as Shoal Serpent, Guardians of Akrasa, Gomazoa, Carven Caryatid or Plumevil, that I used in my Defenders deck :P Probably it wouldn't work even with Elder Land Wurm or that other Bird Giant that we have..

Maybe you are missing a graphic update because I got the sengir vampire graphic in 0220A from the update that introduced their new version :

I prefer this one because your seems an alternative version of Baron Sengir, even though it's an official art but the current one is badass :D

Quite strange O_o Anyway, I dislike this one much more because it looks like a vampire who has lost too much of its humanity :P De gustibus...

I don't think that the ability 'cannot be target of spells/affects your opponents control' is codable. For evidence, I point to Autumn Willow; it is still an approximation, as the ability doesn't work, it just has normal shroud all the time.
