Spoiler Season for M14

[Sloth]

Do you need any assistance producing the "Magic 2014.txt" set description file?

Yes. Please help me with that.

[Max mtg]

Sure, the file has been commited as r22528.

I've parsed the printable spoiler at mtg-s to get the card list
The header has been simply copied from M13 with updated release date, set codes and name.

New cards still missing their Oracle texts


The current progress:
Magic 2014 (249 cards) ... 98,39% (4 cards missing: Banisher Priest | Charging Griffin | Colossal Whale | Strionic Resonator )

[Sloth]

EDIT: What if Humility hits play? The card wouldn't be returned.

OK, it seems a LeavesPlayCommand is needed.

Unless you already started with this, we can try a different (easy) approach:
We can add a parameter to the triggers (like "Unremovable$ True") and make triggers with this parameter unremovable.

[Max mtg]

Sloth, that will make the code even more complicated.

What about creating an effect with trigger waiting for LTB event of specified card (by uid)? That trigger is to make the desired action and remove the effect. You may use the OneOff$ parameter for trigger - the same as used on NPH Chancellors

Just a little improvement to create an effect.

Thank you, swordshine, for scripts!
What still remains to clarify - if the return from exile action should use stack. If it does not, some kind of flag might be added to triggers to have the game execute ability script without stack.

I don't think they would use stack, so the scripts are marked as static triggers.

It definitely doesn't use the stack. It's a duration, not a delayed trigger. Scripted with "static" triggers should be fine.

I know we don't have the Strionic Resonator yet, but wow.. I wonder if Forge works like this right now.

"In some cases involving linked abilities, an ability requires information about "the exiled card." When this happens, the ability gets multiple answers. If these answers are being used to determine the value of a variable, the sum is used. For example, if Elite Arcanist's enters-the-battlefield ability is copied, two cards are exiled. The value of X in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist's other ability is the sum of the two cards' converted mana costs. As the ability resolves, you create copies of both cards and can cast none, one, or both of the copies in any order."

Unstickied topic now that everything's merged and released.
