it is a feature that is for ai deck building
what it will do is as follows
#NAME:sample deck
#DESC:The forces of fire and nature unite.
#DESC:
#DESC:Can you withstand
#DESC:their combined fervor?
toggledifficulty:lotus petal|black lotus (*) * 4
grizzly bear (*) * 4
someCard (8) *4
notice the toggle dificulty?
syntax is ....toggledifficulty:easy card name or number|hard card (optional set if both belong to same set otheriwse use * ) *howmany
toggledifficulty:frying pan|machine gun
toggledifficulty:tomatoe|pumpkin (MBS) * 3
toggledifficulty:tomatoe|squash
grizzly bear (*) * 4
the above exsample as easy will have a deck with:
frying pan
4X tomatoe
4X grizzly bear
and on hard it will have:
machine gun
3x pumpkin
squash
4X grizzly bears
the entire deck can be built with toggledifficulty cards....its not limited to just a single use.
you can also mix it up, some can be toggledifficulty some can be just like normal, you are not limited to having to have a complete deck of toggled cards...
if your currently selected deck has an over all win ratio of 65% or higher...this deck will have 4 black lotuses in it...if youre overall win with the current deck you are playing is below 65% then those 4 black lotuses are replaced by 4 lotus petals instead...effectively making it an easier ai deck...
note, the 2 cards used are exsamples...its a great way to show you the potential this change can have...an ai deck with 4 black lotuses will do WAY better then the same deck with 4 lotus petal...if you catch my drift...
stats generation. No data needs to be written to the deck master files themselves.
Now the mana colors will only show if you have battled with a particular deck at least once.
This is not retroactive, so you will need to battle the ai again. This can not be edited manually
either to prevent tampering with the statistical data. Player deck mana color display is also
covered this way.
Decks will still be saved in the new layout if a disk write is necessary. So any changes via
the deck editor will result in a deck file rewrite is was always the case.:)
- minor cleanup of MTGRules.cpp based on my comments in r3084. I visually verified that I didn't break the fix in r3084. Also ran the test suite.
-- in case somebody wonders about some of the tests I deleted, most of these tests are useless because all callers make sure alternateCost is not null (in isReactingToClick) and that the manapool can afford the cost, before doing the call to reacttoclick. Proving it by adding an assert, and also making the function protected, to be sure it is only called by the authorized children.
New code for Paralyze uses "teach(...)":
[card]
name=Paralyze
target=creature
auto=tap
auto=doesnotuntap
auto=teach(creature) {4}:untap myUpkeepOnly
text=Enchant creature -- When Paralyze enters the battlefield, tap enchanted creature. -- Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step. -- At the beginning of the upkeep of enchanted creature's controller, that player may pay {4}. If he or she does, untap the creature.
mana={B}
type=Enchantment
subtype=Aura
[/card]
it strings exactly like normal counters did, except now after the name you can add yet another "," and a number or word varible...if you will not have a name it is still required that you add the extra comma, as it is a seperator for the parser. so clock works swarm would be counter(1/0,1,,4)...no matter what, this ability will do nothing if the amount of the target counter is already higher then the max allowed, in this case 4...other effects can give the creature more counters...however..this ability will resolve to nothing if youve exceeded the limit. until you are under the amount again.
as it removed ais ability to momir...protip in MTG youre not allowed to interrupt your own abilities...the way momir is working now, it select an action that doesnt pass priority instead it instantly searchs for a momir ability...which is wrong...
the difference between vainshing and fading is...
fading sac triggers the NEXT time you try to remove a fade counter but cant, vanishing sac triggers WHEN you remove the last counter.
