- AI uses it's Aegis Angel to make my Bringer of the Red Dawn indestructible.

Did the AI have any of it's own creatures that it could have targeted instead?

Quirion Dryad's ability triggers as an optional ability rather than a forced ability

Fixed! Thanks for reporting, android47!

 Mind's Desire does nothing on resolution

When is the last time you used it? Mind's Desire works like Yawgmoth's Will now making the card available to be cast from the flashback section

[Diogenes]

It turns out Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Dream Cache were simply missing a "Mandatory$ True" line. I've attached versions that don't let you cancel the discard. There might be more cards that need this, I'll keep looking.

I mentioned earlier that I was looking into editing cards to get them to use the point-and-click style discard prompt rather than the list that pops up most of the time. I think I can do it, but I don't think I should because the solution is hacky. You'd have to mimic the current functionality for discards as costs or conditional discards (which ask specifically for lands, or non-black cards for instance.) I'm sure this will get standardized sooner or later anyway (anyone excited about making it... sooner? )

These are a few minor issues I've noticed:

Currently, Forge has the loser automatically play first in the next game of a multi-game match. It's not a big deal, but the Comprehensive Rules (103.2) say that the loser gets to choose who plays next.

Cards which let you play the top card of your library mess up the Flashback card counter (and this seems to fluctuate from over-reporting to under-reporting and back as you play cards.) The list itself is always populated correctly, though.

This one's more of a feature request: cards with an effect that lets you "name a card" (Meddling Mage, Predict, Foreshadow,) generate a list of *all* supported cards from which you choose the card. It would be nice if there were an option in Preferences so that this list only included cards in your and your opponent's decks (and maybe someday... sideboards? )

The graveyard list is a little bit counter-intuitive. Forge supports cards which affect the top card of your graveyard, which is actually the last (bottom) card of the list.

It'd be nice to have an option to remove the text overlay CMC counter in the middle of the card while keeping the P/T overlay, and it would also be nice to have the text overlay when cards are full-size (after a mass land-removal spell, for instance.)

Anyway, sorry if I'm misreading what's important at the moment and what's not. I haven't had a ton of time this last week, but I'm going through the Comprehensive Rules and the Forge wiki info to get up to speed.

Ah, I see. It works fine

Yes, it did. Anyway, AI should rather target one of his lands than my creatures...

[Niv-Mizzet]

Are there no images available for cards from Planechase 2012 yet? I downloaded all of the card images but my Shardless Agents are blank. I didn't see a folder for that expansion in the list.

Thanks Diogenes! I've committed your fixes (although your Jace added the Mandatory parameter to the wrong ability )

[friarsol]

Are there no images available for cards from Planechase 2012 yet? I downloaded all of the card images but my Shardless Agents are blank. I didn't see a folder for that expansion in the list.

I think moomarc just added them a day or two ago? They weren't finished that much earlier than that.

Currently, Forge has the loser automatically play first in the next game of a multi-game match. It's not a big deal, but the Comprehensive Rules (103.2) say that the loser gets to choose who plays next.

If you want to be nit-picky about who plays first, Forge also doesn't let the winner of coin flips to draw.

[gos]

I cast Mana Vortex and sacrificed a land. On my opponent's next upkeep, my Vortex is sacrificed, and he loses no lands!

[gos]

I cast a Mox Diamond with Trinisphere in play. I was prompted to pay which I did, but I was not prompted to discard a land, and my Mox went straight to the graveyard.

[mcrawford620]

My Thragtusk was returned to my hand by Vapor Snag but I gained no beast token. This worked fine in the previous version I think.

Fixed, thanks muppet.

[Diogenes]

Oops. Thanks for fixing that up.

If you want to be nit-picky about who plays first, Forge also doesn't let the winner of coin flips to draw.

Okay, I'm being a bit nit-picky. Still, I don't mind the first player being entirely random since I'm equally as likely to get the result I consider best for me as not (I'd actually disable the coin flip if I could, as it doesn't do anything verifiable.) It's when I lose that I feel I've 'earned' (if that makes any sense) the strategic decision...

Now I'm being super nit-picky. I'll shut up before this hole gets deeper.
