Forge Beta: 01-31-2014 ver 1.5.11
13568 cards in total.
Release Notes
- Constructed mode -
The initial implementation of the new Constructed mode lobby screen is now available. It is a work in progress, so you should expect some rough edges and missing functionality, but the lobby screen is functional enough so it's possible to choose decks and player types and start the match normally.
- Multiple variants -
Multiple variants can be applied to the same match now! Planechase and Vanguard matches should now be started from the constructed match lobby by ticking the appropriate variant's checkbox in the variants panel at the top. It is not necessary to select only one variant anymore. Archenemy and Commander will hopefully also be implemented this way in the next beta release, but for now must be launched as before from the main variants menu.
Team selection is also planned for future releases, but at this time multiplayer matches will default to free-for-all.
The ongoing discussion of this feature can be found in the following thread:
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=12609#p138913
- Support for multiple card art -
Forge now fully supports the distinction between cards with different art, which is most apparent with basic lands. It is now possible to specifically add cards with particular art in the deck editor, and cards with different art are now generated for random constructed decks, sealed deck pools, booster draft extra basic land pools, starting quest card pools, and quest card shop pools. The deck file (.dck) format has been adapted to account for this change so that the card art index can now be specified after the set, with the index starting at 1 for the first possible card art. In case you would like to avoid generating cards with random art in limited modes (sealed deck, booster draft, quest mode) in order to make your deck management easier when it comes to basic lands, you can uncheck the "Randomize Card Art in Generated Card Pools" option in the game preferences. When disabled, the generated limited mode card pools will feature one kind of each basic land with the same picture on all cards.
- Automatic card edition adjustment -
A deck may explicitly define the edition and art variant of each card it includes. If a deck specifies those for no card, Forge uses a special algorithm to determine which card printings were the latest by the moment all of deck's had been printed. These very editions of cards are used when loading deck into memory to reflect the flavour of the season when the deck was built.
- Commander 2013 cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Commander 2013 cards. It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient. The Forge devs are not involved in maintaining the servers that house these pictures.
- New Born of the Gods cards -
Forge now includes many of the new Born of the Gods cards. It may take a few days/weeks before these new card pictures become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Card Pictures" button. The LQ set pictures tend to take a few more weeks/months to process before they become available for downloading via the "Download LQ Set Pictures" button. Please be patient.

It didn't make it into the known issues list: But one related to new BNG cards is that Inspired triggers incorrectly during the untap step. This one has been around forever, and we just haven't gotten it ironed out yet. Hopefully it'll be squared away for the next release.

Shouldn't Fated Intervention use different token image since its Centaurs are enchantments unlike tokens from previous cards? Same for Golems created by Hammer of Purphoros.

You're correct, but the auto-generated token filename was never expected to have to use card type. And because images aren't available yet, I assume no image name was specified.Marek14 wrote:Shouldn't Fated Intervention use different token image since its Centaurs are enchantments unlike tokens from previous cards?

Springjack Pasture
by Nekoatl » 31 Jan 2014, 18:40
When using Springjack Pasture to sacrifice goat tokens for mana, white mana is given instead of mana of any color if the mana is produced before an ability to spend the mana on is selected.
(P.S. Thanks for the new release!)

Well, token images are available here: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... rcana/1413 -- and there are HQ Theros scans including tokens, so the name should be specified -- especially when the inspired token generator cycle is implemented as each uses a new enchantment token (except for green which shares it with Fated Intervention).moomarc wrote:You're correct, but the auto-generated token filename was never expected to have to use card type.

EDIT: I think that the Min. set column in the decklist is too narrow, some sets like WWK can't fit their codes. And it doesn't seem like there's a way to resize it, only to drag it elsewhere...
Copy Enchantment has strange text when it's on battlefield and not copying anything.

Also, the home screen ends up looking like this after I close the error message.

Also also, Asphyxiate has its mana cost listed at 3B, rather than 1BB.

When the AI plays Tyrant of Discord, and I'm the only opponent, I don't sacrifice anything. The stack shows a targetting error.
Tyrant of Discord works correctly when I play it - the AI sacrifices, multiple times if nonland permanents are selected.
