Forge Beta: 02-08-2013 ver 1.3.8

[friarsol]

For everyone reporting Alternate Win bonuses weren't awarded properly, I finally got some time to look into it. Note: Alternate Loss Conditions were already functional (Door to Nothingness) Also, the value that was being used wasn't being set properly, so this should now be set based on your preferences as well.

My The Hive is putting Wasp tokens in play on AI side - sometimes.

[philnotfil]

Draft and Sealed are both broken, can't click on next round.

[MystREmo]

Also, I've noticed that I can't block the same creature twice with the same creature that blocked it the turn before.

[MystREmo]

Also dredge and morph are both not working.

Also, I've noticed that I can't block the same creature twice with the same creature that blocked it the turn before.

That's already been reported and fixed.

Miracle "effects" always crash.
So anoying.. haha I make a whole strategy for me to draw the wanted card JUST to use it's "Miracle" ability.. and it crashes. haha well, shit.

"Bonfire of the Damned", guys.. I don't know if it's a new problem or.. but anyway..
If you want me to post the Java report is just say it.

[Hellfish]

Yeah, please post the crash log in spoiler tags whenever reporting a crash. I just ran a quick, simplified test and successfully miracled a Bonfire of the Damned so it may have been fixed already..

[Luxis]

Oh! Ok, nice!

And.. Cascade doesn't seem to be working properly, isn't?

[Symphonic]

The game tends to get stuck at end of turn when the opponent has more than 7 cards in hand and I'm having a Sangromancer at my side so that the opponent has to discard.
But I never got any crash report and after some time of waiting and clicking around on some other cards it was always possible to end the opponent's turn and continue the game.

I'm experiencing an odd problem with Mesmeric Orb. It triggers on untap as it should, but it always puts one less than the right number of discard triggers on the stack (eg. announces 6 triggers and puts 5 on the stack). After this, I try to resolve but pressing the OK button does nothing - until I tap a land or something - then it will resolve the stack.

[sidaism]

I got crash when chosing target player with Mistbind Clique.This only happens if i champion Spellstutter Sprite

[Xitax]

When I use Ranger's Path or Farseek to get Forests from my library and put them into play tapped, when I pick a Ravnica pain land I'm still asked if I want to pay 2 life. Fortunately even if I'm dumb enough to pay the life it still comes into play tapped.

Hmm.. While unintuitive, this is not incorrect behavior. http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=462397

The devs are considering making a few minor changes to the changes.txt and readme.txt files which will have an impact on the announcement messages for future betas. Announcement messages will look a little different but will be similar to the old announcement messages.

Some of the important release notes from the last two years have been added to the end of the readme.txt file. The readme.txt file is not an instructional manual but at least it is a step in the right direction.

We are planning to not include the change-log in the changes.txt file as this material tends to be too technical and boring for the average user. The change-log is still available on the SVN repo.
