Another thing I noticed: the game crashes whenever I try to add poison counters to my opponent using proliferate.

i have the same issue.

And as Sloth reported two posts before yours, this issue has been fixed already.

I'm running 1.3.0 now but I can't ever seem t finish a game without it crashing.

Thank you so much for helping me! I'm incredibly stumped I managed to install the old one instead of the new one after I downloaded it. I'm not great with computers but I really should know better than that.

Once again, thanks for bringing Forge back into my nightly routine!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you do to get this running.

I attack with Caustic Wasps, damaging AI, which should give me option to destroy target artifact. I target Dwarven Berserker equipped with Healer's Headress. The artifact is not destroyed. The Berserker was tapped at the time.

This happens over and over. Also tried to target other artifacts like The Hive. Also didn't destroy them.

I get the text confirmation in the left window stating that damage lets me choose an artifact and I should choose one, but after picking one, nothing happens.

I have encountered a bug with Spreading Plague. it is destroying enchantments and creatures. I was able to recreate this a few times, one time it slipped into play with out me paying for it (if my math was correct).

The Avatars seem to be broken--currently the game is displaying the AI's avatar as mine.

Just wanted to drop in to say you guys rock!

I come back every once and a while to see what new cards you added only to see that you keep adding more modes which is amazing.

Doubling Season 's second effect seems to be affecting planeswalkers the wrong way--is it supposed to give them double the counters when they ETB? Doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. In the same vein, the second effect doesn't work when I use a +1 ability on a planeswalker. I don't get the extra loyalty counter(s).

WotC messed this one up not us. ETB counters are doubled, those of the +1 ability do not (because it's a cost).

Just curious where did you get that tidbit about it "being a cost"? Doubling Season's text says any counter or token and doesn't mention anything about costs. Also, I'm unable to find any rulings on Doubling Season to indicate this interpretation.

I'm also unable to find any rulings on planeswalkers that indicate this either.

I kept expecting my Doubling Season to double the loyalty counters on my Nissa Revane when I used her abilities but it never did - I assumed it was a bug or incompletely supported card. Now I'm going "whaat?".

And just out of annoyance - the "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs," as important as it may be, is really tiresome to someone trying to substantiate their question with source material. This is the 10th time I've tried submitting this question. I'm really starting to feel unwelcome. Do you know I can't even preview my post if there's anything resembling a URL in it? And the "Do not automatically parse URLs" option doesn't help. Oh well, you can sort out the source links yourselves.

Doubling Season says "If an effect would place one or more counters on a permanent you control". The +/- abilities of Planeswalkers are costs, as in they need to be "paid" before the Ability can go on the stack. An effect is something that happens during the resolution of a spell, ability, trigger, or static effect, but not a cost.

A quick googling will solve this question for you if you don't trust our (correct) judgement: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/ ... neswalkers

As far as the too spammy thing, that's not really under our control. The forums has certain rules for users that haven't been around for a while.

OK, go figure, I looked up every key word except the important one (effect) - it never occurred to me that that word was where the technicality lay. I think that was the source of my confusion, since just calling it a cost didn't make it clear in my mind that it wasn't an effect. I went and looked up the official rulings on "effects" and suddenly a lightbulb went on.

BTW thanks for the awesomely quick response. I'm impressed And yeah, I know the spam thing isn't under your control and it exists for good reason, but it got so annoying I had to complain to somebody about it.

When looking up rules interactions I find it easier to search "magic <card 1> <card 2>" so in this case: magic planeswalker doubling season. It comes up as the second hit (and 3rd, 4th etc).
