YAY THANKS A LOT!!!

[mr friendly guy]

Is it possible to code Mirror Universe? I am thinking this might make a great combo with a necropotence deck.

The pain is the upkeep part... the game doesn't give you a time window during the upkeeps even if you have something you might want to do, so cards like this need a "dummy" upkeep trigger that lets you activate the ability in response.
.

Would it be easier to code and let it play during any phase of the player? I don't think it would make too much difference in game play aside from the possibility a player could use a sorcery to reduce their life, then use Mirror Universe to exchange life totals then.

[gorem2k]

But, if I play a different multicolored creature it freezes while the spell is on the stack.

if stack is the problem, maybe you could add filter:Add(FE_ZONE, OP_IS, ZONE_BATTLEFIELD ) or filter:SetZone(ZONE_BATTLEFIELD, EffectController() ) so that only creatures in play will be processed for color count?

ps: if you use SetZone you can remove filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController() ) since it already has EffectController() in it

[thefiremind]

need some help with this...

You need to specify who gets to control what you PutOntoBattlefield, and to put the linked_ability_group="1" tag to all the abilities that read from LinkedDC. Anyway I think it would be better if you use a delayed trigger that makes the card return when the dragon spirit dies, rather than using LinkedDC.
Pointers to tokens can be saved when you create them, look at Ajani's Chosen. You'll have a chest that contains all the created tokens (they can be more if you control Doubling Season or Parallel Lives, you can't forget that if you want the card to work properly), all you need to do is to pass them to a delayed trigger, together with the EffectSource (you'll need to protect it before it gets exiled).

I'm skipping the activation mana cost, as you did (for testing I guess):

I was about to create 1 delayed trigger that checks for any one of the tokens for triggering, but I think this is easier to handle cleanup-wise.

hi, guys
i am making Primal Surge deck and Massacre Wurm would be perfect for it.

and for the other Birthing Pod deck i still need Shriekmaw.

can someone be so kind and help me?

the Massacre Wurm posted few pages back doesn't work for me at all, maybe because it is form 2013 Dotp?

[thefiremind]

and for the other Birthing Pod deck i still need Shriekmaw.

Maybe one day I'll make an evoke deck: in DotP2014 it's much easier to handle than in the previous games.

There are some strings whose localised text should be defined: ALTERNATE_COST_EVOKE_1B, MORE_INFO_TITLE_EVOKE, MORE_INFO_BODY_EVOKE.

I'm sorry if it ends up being a dumb question, but... are you aware that what's posted back there is just the code for the abilities of Massacre Wurm, not the whole Massacre Wurm XML?

i must have made a mistake while merging the file
can someone check it?

You have a closed </TRIGGERED_ABILITY> after the toughness that has never been opened. Riiak's Deck Builder could have told you that, too.

[loookaz]

so how should it look like?
i have no experience in coding, i do everything by trial and error
i am afraid that even such a simple task as properly pasting an ability is beyond my capabilities...

[thefiremind]

I should look like you pasted it, except without that </TRIGGERED_ABILITY> after the toughness.

The small XML template I made here might help you.

BADGE_FLASH doesn't seem to exist, can we create it and use it as the badge of a new ability?

[Rari]

I was thinking about creating an EDH-style commander card. For the purposes of this, the exile zone will be used as the Commander zone. The spoiler below contains what I have so far (both working and not-working) as well as the bits I would like some help with.

The Commander would need to:

• (Working) Set the controller's life total to 40
• (Working) Exile itself from the library or opening hand (and draw a card to replace itself if it was in hand.)
• Castable from exile. This cost should increase by every time this ability is activated. (Not sure how to increment the cost.)
• Give the player the option to move the Commander to the exile zone any time it would be put in a graveyard. (Not sure how to make this optional.)
• Keep track of damage done to each opponent - if this damage is greater than 20 damage, that player loses.
