Half-Implemented Cards

[AlexV]

This card is not difficult, only need add a parameter "TargetedCardColor" to ProtectAllEffect. I'll add it.

That would be excellent, thanks!

Delaying Shield, almost 100%. To pay 1 W to avoid loss of life from the counters on it, wait until your upkeep, then in response to the "lose life" trigger going on the stack you can click Delaying Shield itself to activate a 1 W paid ability to remove a delay counter from it. This has the same effect of paying 1 W to avoid the damage from the counter.

Counters should be removed first and then repeat the lose life effect.

Counters should be removed first and then repeat the lose life effect.

OK... not sure how it makes a difference, but this should do it in that order, I think.

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I've been trying for 2 #@^&@ days, have come close, but I need help. I know this card isn't currently scriptable, so I figured I'd post here instead of the Card Request thread. I need a close-as-possible Implemented Soul Sculptor for a deck I have. I'd really appreciate it.

I know this card isn't currently scriptable, so I figured I'd post here instead of the Card Request thread. I need a close-as-possible Implemented Soul Sculptor for a deck I have. I'd really appreciate it.

How I would try to do it is this way:

Create a permanent Effect, remembering the targeted creature. The effect turns the remembered permanent into an Enchantment and rewrites all abilities. The effect also has a "static trigger" that exiles itself when any Player casts a creature spell. That'll be pretty close.

[squee1968]

I played around quite a bit with effect, but was unable to succeed. Here's the closest I got:

Hmm.. I can't test this cause I'm in the middle of brewing beer, but how about:

Nope. Didn't work. I tried something extremely similar to that, and it didn't work for me either. I also tried this:

| Open

A:AB$ Effect | Cost$ 1 W T | Name$ Soul Sculptor Effect | ValidTgts$ Creature | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature | Triggers$ TrigCast | Abilities$ SoulSculpted | SVars$ ExileEffect | RememberObjects$ Targeted | IsCurse$ True

Svar:SoulSculpted:DB$ Animate | Cost$ 0 | Defined$ Permanent.IsRemembered | RemoveAllAbilities$ True | Types$ Enchantment | RemoveTypes$ True | Description$ Permanent loses all abilities and is an enchantment.

No dice here either. I sure could go for a few of them beers, though.

Ok, there's some minor issues, but it seems to work well enough. Might not be very far away from being scriptable.

Thanks a ton, Sol, works like a charm! If I may ask, what are the issues? I've heard there are some problems with RemoveAllAbiliies and timestamps in a general sense, is that the only issue?

I didn't fully test it, but aside from that, RemoveCardTypes was also not removing the Subtypes. So after I turn my 2/2 Zombie into an Enchantment, it was still a Zombie. Not really anything wrong with it on the script side of things, but just a few issues that should be worked out before adding it officially into Forge.
