Words that Cards.txt recognizes

[Chris H.]

?{cost}?,?"tap"?: add {mana} also in progress (e.g. "W: add R", "tap: add 2", or "5, tap: add WUBRG", the first one being an easy hack-in for Sunglasses of Urza).

`
Should be in next version, considering Dennis now has my mana code merged into his.

`
I managed to build your code and played a couple of games with your mana code modifications. I like the changes that you made.

Once the next version comes out, Sloth will have a number of cards to add.

I can't wait to test the new :add {mana} keyword. Finally the card Sunastian Falconer could be corrected (it still only adds one mana to your mana pool).

I tried the keyword

{cost}, Sacrifice {card name}: Draw a card.

on the card Brass Secretary:

Code: Select all

Brass Secretary
3
Creature Construct
no text
2/1
2, Sacrifice Brass Secretary: Draw a card.


but I can't activate it ingame. The same is true for Slinking Skirge. At the moment the only cards that use this keyword are the spellbombs.

I think you've forgotten one keyword Chris: Exalted...

`
Yes, I did miss one.

Thank you for pointing that out. I have added it to the listing.

May I suggest:

a. The "complex keywords" be hyperlinked to their respective threads. Either in addition-to or instead-of as notes at the bottom? (leaving it for more useful notes..)

b. Because they're hyperlinked, you don't need to spell out the different forms of spDamageTgt.

c. For the abbreviated scripted keywords, add a sample of the rules text. ie: "deal _ damage to target ____"

Could we also bold or italicize new words added for those of us trying to learn how to write cards? Help point out the new features better.

`
I spent some time trying to find a way to have the new keywords stand out from the rest. I hope that I came up with a workable solution.

We tend to add the new and modified cards to the very top of the cards.txt file. This makes it easier for people to look at the entries for these new cards, some of which will use keywords.

The list of keywords is huge. I need to write another article about keywords for my blog. Thanks to everyone that helped.
