Manalink update 10 April 2012 aka Sensei of Vanilla Masques

[CirothUngol]

I built a little Unicode-Converter into the PDAnalyser that removes the BOM and tries to correct the few troublesome 2-byte characters found in PlayDecks (namely "Æ"="Æ", "â"="â", "û"="û", "ú"="ú", "í"="í", "á"="á" and "ö"="ö").
It will also check against a database for alternate spellings if the CardName is not found... I believe "Ring of Ma'rûf" has 3 seperate entries. Again, if you find ANY CardNames that it can't identify please post the exact spelling in the PDAnalyser thread so I can put it into the database. (like your 'Bull' cards, I want to know why it can't identify them)

[0rion79]

No, only that one. I could not even open it with the Deck Editor. Had to use Notepad++ to fix some special characters and then manually fix it.

Have you fixed your decks after installing the latest patch as there was rearranging of the cards in other sots?If not use Playdeck analyser made by Ciroth Ungol to fix them.

[Bog Wraith]

stassy, I need your help again, similar to what you did for me with the DKA patch, viewtopic.php?p=85014#p85014

Can you please zip a copy of your corrected deck folder for this latest patch and post the link here?

[stassy]

Here you go, be aware that some decks are missing due to bad conversion from 2.0 to 3.0 (some tournament ones mostly).

[darkgaizat]

Yes, I did the deck conversions and the cards are all correct. It is the Artifacts that can produce multiple colors of mana (Mox Diamond, Mox Opal, Lotus Pedal, Gilded lotus, Lotus Bloom, etc.) It reads them as producing illegal types of mana, and automatically forfeits my game...HELP!

Darkgaizat

[stassy]

Well, as I recall all those you mentionned ARE illegal on EDH now...

[darkgaizat]

since when??

"A deck may not generate mana outside its colours. If an effect would generate mana of an illegal colour, it generates colourless mana instead. " From Wizard's own website.

Please someone fix this.

[darkgaizat]

I understand there are banned cards, but I'm not using Power 9, and the others I get, but to block out ANYTHING that COULD produce is a little over reaching. I want to use the Gilded Lotus for the colors I'm using, or the Mox Opal or Mox Diamond. (Why would I use it for colors that aren't in my deck anyways) I know of no group that's not allowing for these cards. They stick to denying what is BANNED, and since we can't play multiplayer anyways, I don't see the computer putting up much of a fight on the agreement to allow for it. I'm trying to recreate my ACTUAL decks here, and the EDH game portion is fun, and I think it completely detracts from it by blocking these cards out.

http://draw3cards.com/questions/6324/ca ... her-colour

“Only mana symbols count towards a card's color identity--as long as the card doesn't have any mana symbols on it that are of a color other than blue or white, it can be used in a blue/white EDH deck.”
