AI didn't use it in your savegame, but in a clean game it works fine when the human player has zombie master and a zombie, so maybe it is an AI thing?

[Gargaroz]

Well, the "all zombies had regeneration" is approximated, and probably doesn't work for the AI. Waitlisted.

I know this is an old topic, but I'm playing with one of the most recent updates and Zombie Master still does not give other zombie's regeneration. It places the regeneration symbol on them, but when they die you can't regenerate them.

[Gargaroz]

I've actually improved the Zombie Master code in 27a6639, so if something already in play is copying him, it will generate the legacies needed for its ability.
Works fine for player, the AI seems more reluctant to use it...

[BAgate]

1) grants abilities on the stack.

2) when something copies him no legacies are created, despite giving ability icons. Ex. Clone a Zombie Master and both get swampwalk and regenerate icons but the only legacy is from the original Zombie Master,and if you Lightning Bolt te Clone you can regenerate it, but if you Lightning Bolt the Zombie Master you can't.

Fixed bug 1 in bb9c84f
Bug 2 is an edge case and it's hard to fix...

EVENT_CHANGE_TYPE is a really poor place to create the effect card. The reason is that it'll only be sent to card_zombie_master2() if the card is originally a Zombie Master, not if something else turns it into one. The reason that happens is because EVENT_CHANGE_TYPE doesn't actually change a card's iid until it finishes dispatching. I'd suppose the best place to check would be during EVENT_ABILITIES instead (but don't omit affect_me() for this part of its handler).

Now Zombie Master if cloned and the origin dies does create new legacies and can regenerate other zombies BUT still can't regenerate the original Zombie Master. Also if the original gets killed then the cloned one and the legacies created seem to vanish and recreate themselves at each step or at each play they leave and return back multiple times.
