Half-Implemented Cards

[SoulStorm]

Here's another one, Sage of Fables. There are some corner cases where this implementation is problematic, though they shouldn't occur often. You just have to police yourself, and only use it on your creatures which actually have +1/+1 counters on them.

Code: Select all

End

Edit: Here's another version of the card that I think is a bit better overall, but they each have their pluses and minuses.

Here is the half-ass version of Booby Trap. The opponent does not reveal his drawn cards...yet. I am looking at adding the player keyword at some time.

For anyone that needs an extra turn in their red deck, here's Last Chance. Works properly for straightforward use, but doesn't quite interact properly when another card then grant's additional turns that should slot in before, or when using Sundial of the Infinite or Time Stop (in the next beta) to skip the end step.

I meat-hooked my way through a semi-kinda-working Havengul Lich script, but it's important to note that I don't know what I'm doing.

Code: Select all

Name:Havengul Lich
ManaCost:3 U B
Types:Creature Zombie Wizard
Text:no text
PT:4/4
A:AB$Pump | Cost$ 1 | ValidTgts$ Creature.YouCtrl,Creature.Other | KW$ Flashback | TgtZone$ Graveyard | PumpZone$ Graveyard | SpellDescription$ Target creature card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.
SVar:RemAIDeck:True
SVar:Rarity:Mythic
SVar:Picture:http://www.wizards.com/global/images/magic/general/havengul_lich.jpg
SetInfo:DKA|Mythic|http://magiccards.info/scans/en/dka/139.jpg
Oracle:\n{1}: Target creature card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.
End

I pretty much based it off Dralnu, Lich Lord, changed the activation cost to and changed the targets from instants and sorcerys to creatures. It doesn't do a lot of what the actual card is capable of (such as allowing you to cast stuff from the opponent's graveyard, or the activated ability stuff) but at the least you can get off your infinite mana Priest of Urabrask combos or machine gun your Perilous Myrs with a Heartless Summoning in play. Or just summon a creature from your yard if you have the mana for the cost. (Even though it says it gives it flashback, it doesn't exile the creature once it's in play.)

I would love it if someone could take my 1000-monkeys/1000-typewriters effort and make it better, like being able to get at the opponent's yard. As I said, I'm little more than a butcher at this stuff.

I was thinking about Havengul Lich as well, but my version was based on Geth, Lord of the Vault, so I could target opponent/mine, but wasn't casting the creature, so mana cost reductions from Heartless Summoning wasn't applying.

Since I really want Crimson Hellkite, I've made an attempt at scripting it. I'm well aware that there's no way to script the red-mana-only restriction, so I'm ignoring the restriction for this implementation. Which means that this is a 6/6 flying dragon with a Heat Ray built into it.

Here it is.

Code: Select all

ManaCost:6 R R R

Text:no text

Edit: I've also whipped up a copy of Two-Headed Dragon. I don't have the "This can block an additional creature" ability, but I copied the other abilities from Two-Headed Sliver and Talons of Falkenrath.

I tried to implement Tree of Redemption, but there are two things that I don't know how to resolve:
1. I have to choose a player but it has always to be the controller, I guess ("your life total").
2. After tapping and selecting me, nothing happens, except that the card is tapped; my life was 16 as before, the card still 0/13. Does exchange life only work between players?

Magus of the Mirror is a similar card, that is already in forge

Hey mark,

This looks like a card development question, which really belongs in that thread viewtopic.php?f=52&t=3760

ExchangeLife wasn't created for exchanging life of non-player objects. So basically when you active your script, you are exchanging your life with your life (so nothing appears to happen). Basically what needs to happen is you record your current toughness (which I don't know if we have anything to do that). Assign its toughness to be the same as your current life total. Then assign your current life total to be the same as the recorded toughness.

I just added a working version to svn.

I'm posting this here because I don't believe it will be accepted into Forge. It works, but it doesn't work exactly how it would according to the oracle wording of the card. I had to switch which target was chosen first, because unless controller pays 1 doesn't work within subabilities.

Oops. Changed AB$ to DB$ and removed the cost. Thanks again, Marc, and good catch.

Thanks Squee. You just need to change the subability to a DB otherwise it'll crash Forge.

Did you try it yourself? It would basically be half-birds of paradise and half-gilded lotus, with all the values fixed.
