Commander 2016 Spoiler Season

[friarsol]

Looks like it's starting..

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/ar ... 2016-10-24?

We already have a significant Keyword "Partner" which allows you to have 2 commanders as long as both of those commanders have the Partner keyword.

[Hanmac]

yeah Partner seems very funky, also because it does affect the DeckBuilding.

Undaunted: might be much easier because its just yetAnother Cost Reduction Ability.
(i will try to code it.)

[Hanmac]

I did some changes to make more than one Commander possible inside the Game
(combined color identity)
that was the first step.

now for that "Partner" to work, the GUI need to be changed to allow that.
i tried to debug it, but i didn't find the right place yet, where it need to be done in the Deck editor.

(I used Keldon Twilight as a template, but I'm not sure it's correct -- will it work correctly if you attack with some creatures and THEN cast it? I think number of attackers declared this turn should be globally available.)
(Also note that fury counter is a new counter type that needs to be added.)

(It's possible that Soul's Fire is written wrong, I didn't find DamageSource$ code there, although it should exist.)

[Hanmac]

@Marek14: i will look at the older cards, and specially this: "if no creatures attacked this turn"
I will probably do some new (Script)-Function for that.

PS: for Breya, Etherium Shaper, you don't need to do the Charm SpellDescription anymore, its auto-generated.

ok

[Marek14]

Hm, cards that appeared now are bit out of reach for me...

Cruel Entertainment - has two target players control each other's next turn.
Selfless Squire - triggers on damage being prevented, unlike other similar cards it's NOT limited to damage prevented by its own effect.
Deepglow Skate - I'm not sure if the code of Gilder Bairn is usable here, as this can have multiple targets.

[Hanmac]

@Marek14:

ControlPlayer currently has no way to define the controlling Player.
that need to be added for that. (the easy part)
and even if that would be added, i am still a bit confused how forge would react to that.

about Prevention: hm yeah that looks very ugly.
we probably need to rewrite the entire Damage Prevention again.
add we need new trigger like TriggerDamagePrevented.

Deepglow Skate: hm yeah that need to be similar than Gilder Bairn, just for more, might need a RepeatEach in a RepeatEach, if not done as extra Effect (or feature of existing Effect)

now for that "Partner" to work, the GUI need to be changed to allow that.
i tried to debug it, but i didn't find the right place yet, where it need to be done in the Deck editor.

I think some more work will be needed in DeckFormat. If a Commander deck has 2 Commanders, then the size of the Main Deck is 98, not 99. Additionally, the Format should probably check if there are 2 Commanders that both have Partner.

I believe the place that needs to be changed for adding multiple commanders is CEditorConstructed.java line 123.

if (sectionMode == DeckSection.Commander || sectionMode == DeckSection.Avatar) {
editor.getDeckManager().removeAllItems();
}

It actually looks like if you added more than one card (using the Ctrl key) at a time to the Commander Section it'll let you get away with it...

(Could probably use improvement; I separated the abilities akin to code of Soul of Ravnica, though it might be nice if there was a function for "number of colors in set of permanents".)

[Hanmac]

@friarsolI will see how far I will get with this. Didn't work with the GUI so far.

@Marek14: I will look at the Number of colors thing, probably I will try something similar like Domain.

For the Centaur you need to fix the Trigger description, it still does talk about dragons.

Fixed, thanks

@Marek14: i added "Count$ColorsCtrl" for "Soul of Ravnica"
that should work for Conqueror's Flail too.
