Card Requests

[friarsol]

What's the outlook on implementing Phyrexian mana from New Phyrexia?

There are already cards (possibly all of them, I'm sure Hellfish will chime in with the number) in the SVN with exactly that.

Yessir, Mr.Sol

All Phyrexian mana cards are implemented except for:

Code: Select all

Apostle's Blessing
Cathedral Membrane
Norn's Annex (Can more than likely be adapted from an existing card.)
Phyrexian Metamorph (See Norn's Annex)
Surgical Extraction
Birthing Pod
Noxious Revival
Hex Parasite
Spellskite


By my count 25 out of 34 are done. Might've miscounted though.

EDIT:Gitaxian Probe has since been added.

Since Spellstutter Sprite is oft-requested, just thought I'd post a heads up. It is in SVN now, and will be available in the next beta (which should be available shortly after New Phyrexia is officially released).

I want to see Phyrexian Obliterator

I want to see Phyrexian Obliterator

Should be there when the next beta is released.

I would like to see:
Sword of War and Peace

Edit: Thanks Dennis!

Another oft-requested card is Profane Command. This is in SVN now, and should be in the next beta when it is released.

Hi, could you add Elvish Soultiller and chrome mox to the list

I would like to see
Cyclops Gladiator
That ability would allow Tahngarth, Talruum Hero and Contested Cliffs.

The two targeted Arena abilities are a different beast. The ones that only have a single target I think can be scripted at this time.

I was thinking, Just add an optional parameter to DealDamage - like "DamageBack:#". (Where # could actually be an "X" value, calculated from the target's stats)

[Hellfish]

The "~ deals damage equal to it's power to target creature. That creature deals damage equal to it's power to ~" a'la Tahngarth should already be doable using a DealDamage with another DealDamage subability that uses the DamageSource parameter. Contested cliffs are another matter entirely.

But would it work if the creature has deathtouch, wither or infect? How does Tahngarth and wither interact? Does the opposing creature get shrunk, then deal its damage or is the damage "locked in" first?

As far as I understand wither/infect *would* shrink the opposing creature before it deals damage back but it wouldn't die from deathtouch/zero toughness/lethal damage until the next time state effects are checked, i.e. after ability finishes resolving.

just skip to the end for the one person to actually cite rules.

It looks like Tahngarth is different enough wording to function differently than the original Arena.

With Arena the wording is: "Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to the other." which is a simultaneous effect.

Tahngarth states at as two different sentences, so it's sequential. So the first damage happens, then the second damage happens (as stated in the articles).
