You are about 1 month late to the party...

They may look through these forums for ideas, but I'm pretty sure they aren't pulling them directly from the forums as they have stated that DotP 2015 does not have a mana pool, so many of the dual- and multi-lands we have coded would not work in DotP 2015. Much like with manual mana in DotP 2014 we can code cards like Arbor Elf fairly easily, in the discussion they said that Arbor Elf would basically be impossible in DotP 2015 (though if we can mod DotP 2015 we can probably make manual mana work there too). Though there may be less of a benefit to manual mana in DotP 2015 than DotP 2014 if MANA_ABILITYs are more robust.

Also, if they had been taking cards/code from this forum then the rules problems with Two-Headed Giant would not have been as severe as we've already worked around some of those problems (essentially giving solutions that could be fairly easily integrated into the engine if they so desired).

I honestly believe that the Arbor Elf comment was just a white lie to not make the player base keep asking for a mana pool. You still have cards that target lands like Demolish but the real test will be Pestermite to see how truthful they really are. With duel and triple color lands I can see why they don't want to add cards like Arbor Elf, may be we will get cards like Temple Garden in the future.

As for the 2HG comment it boiled down to this: They don't know how to balance it. When his biggest issue are "(Serra Ascendant, Heartless Hidetsugu, etc.)" that tells me all I need to know. With free range building this only maximized the problem and they would rather not spend more time trying to balance it.

EDIT: I went and reread the discussion with Arbor Elf. The issue seems to be the floating mana not the land tapping which is what I assumed:

One of the core uses for Arbor Elf is to tap a forest, float a green mana, untap it, and then be able to tap it again and cast something that costs 2 green mana. If you have no mana pool, this won't work.
He's not saying that they couldn't make a card that can untap a forest. The card is a no go because there is no mana pool.

Now I see what was being referenced.

[RiiakShiNal]

Well, for a better example of a card that is easy enough to do with manual mana we have Dark Ritual, in DotP 2015 this would be impossible without modding and converting manual mana as we have no mana pool. This also means pretty much the same problems with cards that produce more than one mana (can't use for more than 1 spell/ability) like Sol Ring, Cloudpost, Altar of Shadows, Ancient Spring, Ancient Tomb, Apprentice Wizard, Axebane Guardian, the signets, Basalt Monolith, Battle Hymn, Mana Batteries, etc....

[orlouge82]

Are there any plans to update the Planeswalkers pool to include those from M15 (Garruk, Nissa, Ajani, etc)? I would really appreciate if any (especially Ajani Steadfast) could be coded.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

[fallenangle]

Would it be possible to request that any of the coding wizards here make Aetherize? I would like to use that card in a deck, but don't have the skills to make it myself.

Thanks for your help.

No coding wizard needed! Is this good enough? Thanks for giving me a reason to try out thefiremind's new tool.

Can I request

Would it be possible to code Prismatic Oath in 2014? If so, could any of the coding wizards here put it together for me, or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks for all your help.

[triskelion]

Hey there, is there any chance I could get a Lord of Shatterskull Pass made? Or pointed towards a deck that has it so I can dl it?

[fallenangle]

I've been trying to create a working Prismatic Omen by splicing together a modified Blood Moon and Chromatic Lantern from Jacque's mod, but so far I've been getting stuck on the issue of tapping lands for mana. Either each land counts as five and they don't tap until all of the possible mana they could produce has been used up, or they do count properly as all basic land types, but they don't give the option to tap to produce a mana of any color. Could anyone take a look at my code and provide some pointers and / or fixes? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

2. this ability doesn't require the step 1.
3. id="0" is the number of target, and it's used in target definition block, not resolution time action block, it corresponds to definition="0" that in target block.

I made wonder and genesis using these codes, both work fine, but genesis in the cost pay, ask me for 2 colorless mana and 1 blue (instead 1 green)

Someone has an idea why it happens?

I can attach the wonder and genesis cards if someone like it. Or maybe after I fix this bug.

You won't be able to get Prismatic Omen working properly as DotP has known problems with basic land that has multiple basic land types. Theoretically, you can use the Manual Mana to assign them an ability to produce one mana of any colour, but that would only work when manually tapping the land for mana and still doesn't solve any of the problems associated with them having multiple basic land types.

This happens because you have not made TEXT_PERMANENT strings for the question and are using other strings.

• CARD_QUERY_INTET_PAY_MANA_COST
• CARD_QUERY_INTET_DO_NOT_PAY_MANA
• CARD_QUERY_INTET_QUESTION

These strings were customized for Intet, the Dreamer and not for Genesis which is why it shows up as instead of .

To fix it you need to define some new TEXT_PERMANENT strings and reference those in the card rather than these.
