Card Contributions

[jeffwadsworth]

Instead of putting Nemesis up on the Forum i'm going to put it on the Wiki. This way people can "claim" certain cards, and repeats will be less likely to occur. That way we'll also know what cards people tried to script but weren't able to do:

http://www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Forge_Scriptables

Before you start a new block, just edit the wiki saying you are going to do a section, or if that section isn't there yet just add it on. Once the card is submitted you can remove it from the wiki. If the card was posted to the forums, but not submitted please note that on the wiki as well.

Awesome. Man, I could have used this in the past.

Awesome. Man, I could have used this in the past.

The hard part will be removing cards from the Wiki that are finished.

Do we have a keyword for the snow covered landwalks?
If not, is the following snippet a reasonable replacement?
Snow covered swampwalk test:
K:stPumpSelf:Creature:0/0/HIDDEN Unblockable:isPresent Swamp.Snow+YouDontCtrl:Snow covered swampwalk

No there's currently no keyword for it. I'll add one quick and post back.

Ok. The keywords now exist. I added Legions of Lim-Dul as an example. I'll leave you with Rime Dryad and Zombie Musher . I was going to add these the other day anyway.

My first attempt at Gangrenous Zombie used isNotPresent instead of IsPresent with PresentCompare of EQ0. Is isNotPresent a valid comparison? Vintara Snapper uses it, but it didn't seem to work when I tested that either.

Ok. This appears to work fine. I've added it to SVN.

I'm pretty isNotPresent isn't implemented.

Re: Elvish Scout - The ability ordering is backwards. It should had AB$ Untap with DB$ Pump. Take a look at Foxfire .

I love ancient cards. Bring 'em on, the ancienter the better!

Watch out for the name of Gangrenous Zombies - it needs the S on the end. Sometimes you put it there, sometimes you didn't. It's missing from the first line of the card script.

Sol did something neat as a workaround for isNotPresent in this post, when I was working on Kookus. Could be worth checking out:

Okie dokie! I guess I looked at the wrong card to template this from. I looked at Maze of Ith, which was in my local cardsfolder, while Foxfire was not.

I've reworked both Elvish Scout and Maze of Ith. In my testing (with 28 Jan 2011 version), if I used Maze of Ith or Elvish Scout on a blocked creature with trample (a groundbreaker, for example) I still had to assign trample damage, even though it wasn't applied.
