Download:
https://releases.cardforge.org/forge/fo ... 61.tar.bz2
16685 cards in total. (As many Amonkhet cards as we could fit, hopefully the rest will be added very shortly)
Announcement: We have a discord server for hanging out with Forge devs, and other Forge fans. Feel free to jump on in and say hi!

Release Notes
-------------
- Amonkhet Release -
This release contains most of the cards from the newly released Amonkhet set. Please bear with us as we iron out any bugs with this set and get the images uploaded.
- Display Storm Count in Prompt Pane/Panel -
There is a new option to visualize the current storm count in the prompt pane (in desktop Forge) or panel (in mobile Forge). It is disabled by default, but can be enabled in Forge preferences, please refer to the "Show Storm Count in Prompt Pane/Panel" option.
- Bug fixes -
As always, this release of Forge features an assortment of bug fixes and improvements based on user feedback during the 1.5.60 Beta release run.
------------
Known Issues
------------
Images for the latest sets will be available soon.
Aluren currently does not allow to cast creatures from other zones (e.g. Graveyard) if there is an active effect from another card permitting to cast them from there. This interaction is rather tricky to implement properly, but hopefully it will be resolved soon.
There is a known issue with the cost reduction for cards that have color-locked X in their mana cost (e.g. Drain Life, Soul Burn). Cost reduction will not apply correctly to these cards if the amount by which the cost is reduced is greater than the amount of colorless mana in the mana cost specified on the card (e.g. 1 for Drain Life, 2 for Soul Burn). Fixing this issue likely requires rewriting the way announced color-locked X is interpreted and paid (most likely it has to be represented with colorless mana shards but still locked to the colors required by the card).
Currently Improvise is implemented as a "clone" of Convoke keyword, which does not work correctly in corner cases (for example, together with an instance of Convoke or Delve). This is planned to be addressed soon.
Replacement effects that happen when a card moves from zone to zone (e.g. ETB replacement effect of Essence of the Wild; Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet replacement effect for a dying creature) need some rework to allow all of them to work in a rule-exact way without the need for special exclusions and hacks (see ReplacementHandler.java:120).
There is a known issue that allows Qasali Ambusher to be cast from any zone for its ambush ability (requires MayPlay update to be fixed). For now, a temporary measure was set up to prevent the AI from abusing this issue, but it is up to the human player to deliberately choose not to abuse this when possible.
Several people have noticed that the cards displayed on the battlefield will fail to be displayed when the number of cards on the battlefield increases. Maximizing the human panel can help to re-display the cards.
Some time was spent turning the static ETB triggers into the proper ETB replacement effects they should be, mainly to interact correctly with each other. This work is not yet finished. As a result there is currently some inconsistencies with "Enters the battlefield with counters" (Not incredibly noticeable).
A recent contribution to the code base should fix some of the bugs that people noticed with cloning type abilities. At this time there is one remaining issue that we hope will be addressed in the near future:
Copies of cards that setup Zone Change triggers via addComesIntoPlayCommand and addLeavesPlayCommand will not function correctly.
----------------------------
Forge Archive Instructions
----------------------------
The Forge archive includes a readme.txt file and we ask that you spend a few minutes reading this file as it contains some information that may prove useful. We do tend to update this file at times and you should quickly read this file and look for new information for each and every new release. Thank you.
The archive format used for the Forge distribution is ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to extract/decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you extract/decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.
Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.
Once the Forge archive has been decompressed you should then be able to launch Forge by using the included launcher. Launching Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file in the past caused a java heap space error. Forge's memory requirements have increased over time and the launchers increase the java heap space available to Forge. Currently you can launch Forge by double clicking on the forge jar file without a java heap space error but this is likely to change as we add in more sounds, icons, etc.
(Unfortunately, until our Release Manager who owns a Mac is back, the Mac application of Forge can not be distributed. Hopefully it'll be back sooner rather than later.)
- The Mac OS application version -
We can now package Forge as a Mac OS application. You can double click the Forge.app icon to launch the forge application on your Apple computer running Mac OS. This application will automatically increase the java heap space memory for you as it launches. This version does not require the forge.command file and it does not need to start the Terminal application as part of the start up process.
The Mac OS X app version apparently requires the Mavericks OS and is not compatible with earlier OS X versions. People with earlier OS X versions should use the Windows and Linux version and launch forge on their Mac by double clicking on the included "forge.command" file.

Thanks for the release, Sol! I'll get on with releasing the mobile build to match it. 
Note: Gideon's Resolve and Liliana's Influence are actually implemented, I think the edition parser script misfires on them for some reason.

Looks like it's not the parser that's the issue but the edition file itself, whoever added the Planeswalker cards left smart quotes in the name, instead of converting it to a "dumb" quote.Agetian wrote:Thanks for the release, Sol! I'll get on with releasing the mobile build to match it.

Protip: Don't forget to rename the pic set folder MPS to MPS_KLD.
I thought of one other thing - the Masterpiece Amonkhet series will need the black card Forge border replaced somehow.

Does this fix the bug with Pulse of Llanowar?
If not I'll probably wait for the next version, it takes way too much time to update. (have to make sure I don't overwrite any of the files I changed like avatars, card/pack prices, quest stuff etc)

Decimator Beetle doesn't ask for enemy target. It asks where to take the counter from, but it just chooses a random enemy creature as the second target.

By the way, I think I have a good idea how to play infinite mana decks like Palinchron Mana Flare which I had problems with before. As someone else mentioned, "developer mode" helps except...hitting "win the game" I didn't want to do because it makes me win without knowing if the AI wants to react to the combo and break it so it's effectively cheating (for example counter or redirect the infinite fireball at the end)...however, the "gain mana" option to simulate the result of the mana producing loop has no such problem, and seems fair to use.
(which leaves combo decks that do not produce mana still problematic if the macro feature isn't able to help with that particular combo but the two should cover at least the majority of decks I guess)

It looks like the "Start" half of Start // Finish is actually the "Dusk" half of Dusk // Dawn.

Just to be sure: no new cards outside of Amonkhet?

I've experienced a bug with one of the new cards of AKH : Failure//Comply. It occurs each time I'm using the aftermath ability. So I guess Failure works as intended but Comply don't :p.
I think it has something to do with naming a card. I manage to cast the card and put it in the stack. But I can't resolve the spell and I don't have a chance to name any card either.
Here is the crash report :

The AI's Ghirapur Orrery effects trigger during his upkeep, but during my draw phase (after my normal card draw).

The game is crashing when a challenge reward includes "chosen card" in quest mode (tested with challenge files the come with the game as well as my own) :
