Actually, I just started using the version released July 5th, and I no longer know how to test my cards :? I don't want to program cards that I can't test... I tend to make too many mistakes for that.

Generally what I do is make a small deck with just a few cards with what I need to test, disable milling as a lose condition, and then start a game against the AI with a useless deck. If you need to interact with certain cards, give the AI Moxen and whatever card it is and they will undoubtably cast it.

Starcrash:

Make sure Dev Mode is checked on the main screen. Enter the Deck Editor and select just the cards you need to test. Need to whack something you control? Despotic Scepter. Need to obliterate an opponent's creature? Terror. Your deck can be 10-15 cards or whatever. Save as "test"...choose the "test" deck and once in the game, choose the Developer menu and select Generate Mana. Cast your cards in the first turn...tutor for something you need...you get the idea.

It turns out the program was reading from cardfolder.zip, because even though I had unzipped it, it wouldn't read the actual folders until this file was deleted :p

I have the day off today (finally), so I'll see what I can make out of this Mirrodin list.

Starcrash, if you don't mind, edit the card list so that I know which ones you have already knocked out.

Ice Age. As par for this set, some of these are tough to script, or might not quite be there. I tried to give a few notes, but there were also a fair amount that should be straightforward, but we just didn't have enough blocks in place for them
Code: Select all
Aggression
Arcum's Weathervane (can I animate Snow?)
Balduvian Hydra
Battle Cry (UntapAll + Effect w/ Trigger)
Breath of Dreams (We can grant Cum. Upkeep right?)
Cloak of Confusion
Cold Snap
Earthlore
Elvish Healer
Essence Filter
Forgotten Lore
Fumarole
Fylgja
Gaze of Pain
Goblin Lyre
Goblin Sappers
Goblin Snowman
Hot Springs
Icy Prison (Journey to Nowhere + Upkeep?)
Infinite Hourglass
Johtull Wurm (i think this could work)
Justice (i think this could work)
Kjeldoran Elite Guard
Kjeldoran Frostbeast
Kjeldoran Guard
Krovikan Sorcerer
Krovikan Vampire (hmmm maybe?)
Mountain Titan
Mystic Might
Orcish Squatters
Phantasmal Mount
Shyft
Spoils of Evil
Touch of Vitae
Venomous Breath
Whiteout
Withering Wisps (this might work, Pestilence with a weird activation restriction)
Word of Undoing

End

Note: The +1/+1 counter removal for the second ability is not strictly a cost, but the card plays like it is since you have to pick a valid target for counter removal before you pay the mana cost.

The first abilities still need the "Static$ True" parameter. Sage of Fables is not ok this way, the player can activate the ability multiple times with only a single +1/+1 counter. [-X
Otherwise good work ArsenalNut.

Edited all the card to add "Static$ True". I missed that little loop hole when I tested Sage of Fables #-o
