Current Known Bugs list

[DennisBergkamp]

that's not a bug but a feature^^
with this version, i've revised the Devour keyword to use a "choose multiple" variant, meaning you can select any number of creatures at the same time. note that the called method is "getChoices" and not "getChoice". you get a list of all the selected card, so no further dialog is needed

Ah this is very cool You can select multiple cards in one go, using control + click, thanks for clarifying!
EDIT: or select the entire list, by holding SHIFT + clicking on the bottom card.

There's a few other cards that might benefit from this, Mr Chaos had requested a more efficient way of using the sac option of Nemata, Grove Guardian. This new getChoices could be used very well for just that.

[Marek14]

When the first ability of Nemata, Grove Guardian is on the stack (token production), a click on Nemata automatically activates its second ability without giving you a choice.

I don't think that the AI can use Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
I get this error when the AI tries to resolve his ability against me.

I am also running into some problems with Ajani Vengeant.
I think that this error occurs when he uses the helix ability.

Funny bug. Wort, Boggart Auntie + Squee, Goblin Nabob = extra Squee's during your upkeep. You get Squee back from his ability and from Wort too.

I'm using the new release and I can't use Arashi, the Sky Asunder because I can't select it in the main phases.

[DennisBergkamp]

I'm using the new release and I can't use Arashi, the Sky Asunder because I can't select it in the main phases.

Its ability hasn't been implemented yet.

[Caranthol]

I applied Karakas ability to a Compy's legendary creature and it went to my hand instead of compy's hand.

Ok, thanks.

When you tap Gaea's Cradle for mana for paying casting cost with 0 creatures in play, application returns:

[psillusionist]

Found these bugs:

Stillmoon Cavalier's activated abilities don't work.

Korlash's Grandeur ability automatically puts a basic Swamp into play as opposed to allowing me to choose dual lands with Swamp in their land type.

I used a Swords to Plowshares on one of several attacking creatures. After the Swords resolved, the other attacking creatures were untapped (can't remember if they were removed from combat).

I can't target my own creatures with Honden of Infinite Rage.

The AI used a Path to Exile on my Solemn Simulacrum. It triggered the Simulacrum's put into the graveyard ability.

[DennisBergkamp]

I can't seem to reproduce the Gaea's Cradle and Solemn Simulacrum (Path to Exile) bugs.
Fixed a few of the other bugs...

[lm01]

Bug Report:
Undying Beast after dying versus a creature with Wither, goes to the top of the library, but when you draw it it comes to your hand with the Wither counters, which should be reset. I summon it and it dies automatically thanks to that. As MTG says, when a creature leaves play it's previous existence is forfeit, it's treated as if it were another creature/planeswalker.

BTW, the combat stack rules are still the old ones. Now combat damage doesn't go to stack, it resolves imediatly. Since you implemented new rules that were changed at the same time, i.e. no more mana burn, why is combat stacking?

Exº1 On old rules you could block Grizzly Bears with a Mogg Fanatic and both die. You only had to put 1 combat damage on stack and then sacrifice for the extra 1 damage. Now that is not possible, since you can't put the damage on the stack, you either deal 1 combat damage or deal 1 sacrifice damage.

Exº2 Deathtouch and Lifelink are now static abilities, which means you can't respond to those anymore. They resolve at the same time as the damage.

*HINT*
I didn't test this... but the planeswalker mechanic probably isn't working as it should.
1) You always attack opponent, then you pick what you attack (player, X planeswalker or Y planeswalker). Otherwise this might give origin to bugs.

2) Spell that deals damage to a player - onwer of the spell decides what who take the damage on opponent side (player or X planeswalker or Y planeswalker)
2a) If a spell like that has some trigger like Blightning, the player discards the cards, even if the damage is assigned to planeswalker.

*sidenote*
AI attempts to destroy Great Stable Stag with Terminate. If you can put it to check the protection it can avoid wasting spells like that.
AI tends to spend burn spells on player on the first turn, even if there's a creature in play that could be destroyed. It's counter intuitive for any magic player
AI doesn't recognize Legendary, often it destroys it's own Legendary creatures/lands/planeswalkers.
AI doesn't recognize group first strike at least. Often attacks with a lone 4/4 versus 2x 2/2 first strike.


I think I speak for all when I say you've made great stuff for the magic community.
Don't let them tell you otherwise!
Keep up the good work

[Almost_Clever]

Double-striking trample doesn't trample on the regular combat damage if all of the blockers were destroyed with the first strike damage; however, abilities that trigger on a creature damaging a player still trigger even though no damage was assigned. I attack with a Slith Predator (I also control Rafiq the Many making the predator a 2/2 double striker) and the computer blocks with a Savannah Lions. The lion dies to the first strike +1/+1 counter. The 3 damage is not removed from the computer's life total, but the predator gets another +1/+1 counter.
I really like the color boxes for the spells and abilities on the stack, but they betray the color of the morph spells as they are being played. They should use the same color as artifact spells.

Cool, thanks for the advice We're aware of most of these issues (they're just very tricky to fix/implement). But we're getting there slowly, step by step...
Mana Burn was very easy to remove, so that's something we fixed instantly. The new combat system is much trickier.

The Great Sable Stag / Terminate scenario shouldn't happen anymore in future versions, I've just found the bug.
