UPDATE LOG:

ART UPDATES
Added high resolution art to various cards.


INFORMATION UPDATES

PROGRESS
Tested all Bolster and Dash cards.

MECHANICS OF FATE REFORGED

It has occurred to me that I should post the codes for the different keywords. Beneath each mechanic is the code as well as a card the keyword is featured on.

BOLSTER - Complete. Tested the Bolster mechanic to ensure it doesn't trigger Heroic when having to choose between creatures that have the same toughness.

Elite Scaleguard

Code: Select all

<RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    local i = 0
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:Add( FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE  )
    filter:Add( FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, EffectController())
    if filter:CountStopAt(1) == 1 then
      local subfilter = filter:AddSubFilter_Or()
      while i &gt;= 0 do
        subfilter:Add( FE_TOUGHNESS, OP_EQUALS, i )
        if filter:CountStopAt(2) == 2 then
          EffectController():ChooseItem( "CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_CREATURE_TO_GET_PLUS1_PLUS1_COUNTER", EffectDC():Make_Targets(0) )
          return
        elseif filter:CountStopAt(2) == 1 then
          filter:EvaluateObjects()
            EffectDC():Make_Targets(0):Set_CardPtr( 0, filter:GetNthEvaluatedObject(0) )
          return
        end
         i = i + 1

</TRIGGERED_ABILITY>

MANIFEST - Incomplete. I tried created this one by looking at NeoAnderson's Morph code but I've been unsuccessful.

MODAL ETB - Semi-complete. All modal cards complete and working properly except the Siege cycle. Both options keep triggering regardless of which mode I choose.

NOTES CONCERNING BRUTAL HORDECHIEF AND CRUCIBLE OF THE SPIRIT DRAGON.

Brutal Hordechief

I'm aware that Brutal Hordechief's activated ability cannot be implemented entirely. But on the upside, being able to control any aspect of combat is crucial so I coded the card to force your opponents creatures to still have to block if able. I think that's sufficient in and of itself although I to prefer to have all their creatures block one of my tokens while the rest of the clan push damage through. And besides, his static ability is too powerful not to include him.

Crucible of the Spirit Dragon

As with Brutal Hordechief, Crucible of the Spirit Dragon can't be coded with exactness. It will be entirely up to you to spend the mana produced by this land only on dragons. I'm sure the AI will treat this card as any other land but I decided to include it because the reason for not doing so is so trivial.

[Chakan]

Looking forward to the release, Tejahn.

[Tejahn]

I'm working diligently to finish the set. Thanks for the reply Chakan!

[mamoul]

Thanks a lot for this work. I've coded yet myself Monastery Mentor to test it in a R/W deck with Monastery Swiftspear (amazing deck ) but I didn't think that a coder will release the complete set so quickly.

So i'm pending for the end of your work

[Tejahn]

Thanks! I'm was hoping to have the set released before the end of this week. I've been experimenting with coding the Manifest keyword. If you or anyone manage to implement that mechanic be sure to post the code. It'll great expedite the release of this set.

This ability is similar to Master Warcraft. I don't know, who coded it, but you can find it in VXP's dlc. It works like a charm. Check it out. You will only need DATA_DLC_VXP_OTHER.

[Tejahn]

Thanks for the link. I'll check into it. But as far as I know you can't control how your opponents creatures block. It was possible with 2013 but I think they nuked the function. Also, thefiremind added it to his Leyland of Deity.

[Xander9009]

TFM told me that he added that ability to his leyline before discovering it didn't work. I also have experience with it not working (which is what led to him explaining that). So, if someone has it working, that's awesome.

Anyway, for Crucible of the Spirit Dragon, Neo has a mostly working approximation. It's released in its own thread for Restricted Mana. It doesn't work for abilities, but it'll work for the casting of dragons. I imagine you'd rather stick with its current setup, but I figure I'll make sure you're aware of it in case you'd rather it be too strict instead of not strict enough.

Nicely done with these. Almost finished Do you still need Yasova Dragonclaw? If so, post what you've got in the Formal Request Thread and I'll take a look tomorrow if I remember. If you can't figure out the Haste missing from Dash, you should post that, too.

[Tejahn]

Thanks for the offer Xander9009! I requested her a while back. I'll be sure to post what I have in that thread. As for Dash, here is the link to the topic I posted in the Programming Talk section. It contains the code.

viewtopic.php?f=63&t=16664

EDIT: Kithkin, I tested the Master Warfare code and the game won't allow me to continue when I click to remove a creature from blocking. I then can't make the creature re-block or advance my attack.

[orlouge82]

Very excited for this release. Any ETA?

[Tejahn]

I've tested all the cards except the 27 listed as incomplete. I'll do some further testing tonight and upload a few decks featuring some of the new cards. With that said, I hope to release the set the first week of February.

Citadel Siege

Frontier Siege

Monastery Siege

Outpost Siege

Palace Siege

I'm still having trouble with the "Siege"-Cycle and would like to request some guidance making them rule compliant. As I stated above, both options keep triggering regardless of which mode I choose. If someone can provide their code for one of the cards displayed above I could follow that pattern to finalize the others. Below is more information pertaining to the newly introduce mechanic.

ANCHOR WORD
Anchor words were introduced in Fate Reforged, where the "Siege"-cycle featured the choice between "Khans" and "Dragons". An anchor word is a word that precedes a choice on a modal spell, to give the respective abilities a bit of flavor and signify the choice. Anchor words don't have a specific rule attached to them.

Official Rulings

11/24/2014 Each Siege will have one of the two listed abilities, depending on your choice as it enters the battlefield.

11/24/2014 The words “Khans” and “Dragons” are anchor words, connecting your choice to the appropriate ability. Anchor words are a new rules concept. “[Anchor word] — [Ability]” means “As long as you chose [anchor word] as this permanent entered the battlefield, this permanent has [ability].” Notably, the anchor word “Dragons” has no connection to the creature type Dragon.

11/24/2014 Each of the last two abilities is linked to the first ability. They each refer only to the choice made as a result of the first ability. If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of one of the Sieges, its controller will make a new choice for that Siege. Which ability the copy has won’t depend on the choice made for the original permanent.

[RiiakShiNal]

It's just setting a value in a LinkedDC() on an ETB trigger then in the other 2 abilities you check the value against what it should be for that ability if it matches then do something otherwise don't do anything.
