Forge Beta: 02-21-2014 ver 1.5.13
13596 cards in total.
Release Notes
- New ItemManager Preferences -
The editor.preferences file has been deprecated, and the Preferences pane of Deck Editor screens has been removed. Instead, each CardManager and DeckManager (in deck editors, game launch screens, and deck viewer) can have its own options configured individually on its View Options panel.
To show/hide columns, simply go to the List View of any CardManager or DeckManager and click the View Options button (to the right of the Image View toggle button). This will show a panel containing checkboxes for each column, along with a "Unique Cards Only" checkbox on the Constructed Deck Editor Catalog. Your choices will be remembered between sessions, as will any column sorting, repositioning, and resizing. You can toggle the View Options button again to hide this panel.
For Image View, this options panel is visible by default and contains a button to expand/collapse all groups along with combo boxes to configure the "Group By", "Pile By", "Columns" properties that are also saved between sessions. Note that even if this panel is hidden, Ctrl+MouseWheel can be used to adjust the "Columns" property to essentially zoom in and out.
- Variant game modes -
All variants can now be applied via the constructed match setup. While moving Commander across, a basic experimental Commander deck generator was implemented. It will select a random two-color identity commander, and use those colors to build a two-color singleton deck. It is at least a starting point if someone doesn't have any Commander decks and doesn't want to or doesn't have time to build one.
- Extended foil card support -
Forge now generates foil cards in booster packs, which will be apparent in sealed deck, booster draft, and quest modes. Also, foil cards are now correctly displayed in the deck editor including the new pile view mode. The display of foil overlay can be disabled in user preferences in case you dislike the visual foil effect. Please note that this option is visual only and does not affect the internal foil generation as such. Foil support is a work in progress and will be extended over time.
- 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.

On my first sealed pack game with an AI i ran into either something i didn't understood or a bug
At some point the AI had 2 creatures on the battlefield that were untapped.
I then used Sudden Storm
And both creatures had no ability to prevent Sudden Storm to work on them
The log mention the "tap" despite i wasn't able to do that.
And on the AI turn, he could then use both creatures to attack.

I then used Sudden Storm
The Scry ability worked as it asked me to put a card on top or bottom, but at no point i was offered to select the 2 AI creatures to tap them and prevent then them to attack next turn.Card Text:
Tap up to two target creatures. Those creatures don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.)
And both creatures had no ability to prevent Sudden Storm to work on them

I was trying out this crazy Uba Mask / Cephalid Broker combo deck, and I found out that having the mask in play keeps a player from losing due to having an empty library in Forge. Since this is the deck's win condition it is not playable at this time.

Description: [describe what you were doing when the crash occurred]
After winning a Quest match (the 1st of that quest) against "Galadriel" and getting 25 gold bonus for not having lost a round, i went to look at the bazaar various items, then clicked on the "quest deck editor" tab and clicked on the "deck editor" tab, that led to this error message popping up

Thanks for this awesome update.
However, I have a question regarding the previous version.
Please have a look at the screenshot, enemy had Stuffy Doll with Guilty Conscience on, and was able to reprocess 1 dmg indefinitely until I died (from 15 hp to 0 in one single time).
Bug or working as intended? I don't see any reason why it couldn't be a bug, otherwise it's the most broken combo I have ever seen.

I'm not sure that's a bug. Uba Mask replaces the draw. The tricky part is that it replaces it with exiling "that card". If there's no card to be drawn, it should just replace it with nothing then -- but you still haven't drawn so you you shouldn't lose.Xitax wrote:I was trying out this crazy Uba Mask / Cephalid Broker combo deck, and I found out that having the mask in play keeps a player from losing due to having an empty library in Forge.

Nope, that's entirely correct. Stuffy Doll says:Stampedo wrote:Thanks for this awesome update.

Whenever Stuffy Doll is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to the chosen player.
Guilty Conscience says:
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, Guilty Conscience deals that much damage to that creature.
So once any damage is dealt to Stuffy Doll (for example through its own activated ability), Stuffy Doll triggers and deals damage to the player. Since Stuffy Doll dealt damage, Guilty Conscience will trigger and deal damage to Stuffy Doll. This, in turn, triggers Stuffy Doll, and...
The combo lasts until the player is dead or until someone gets rid of one of these cards. However, if the player can't be killed by damage (for example thanks to Worship or Platinum Angel) and noone can interrupt the combo, then the game actually ends in a draw.

Thanks for your nice update.
I played many copy of Demonic Attorney on first game on match.
(AI deck is 6 or less cards.)
Then, a second game throws an exception caused by Zero turn win.
