Salmelo:"Here is another patch, this time adding counters to target specifications, so now you should be able to target things with counters on them as well as use counters for criterion for Lord, aslongas, foreach, etc.
I had to muddle the syntax a little bit though, so heres an example, taken from gwafa hazid, whom I added to the primitives to test with.
lord(creature[counter{0/0.1.Bribe}]|opponentbattlefield) cantattack
obviously the part we are worried about is the counter part, note that those are curly braces { } and periods . instead of parentheses ( ) and commas , this is so that it does not conflict with how targets are normally parsed, which it did before I changed those. Counters still work the same way everywhere else though, you only need to use { } and periods in target code.
Also, you can use counter{any} to specify that it should look for things with any kind of counter on them, not just specific ones, this is used by Kulrath Knight, for example.
I also consolidated most of the code used to parse counter specifications, as it seemed unnecessary duplicating it three times.
Anyway, aside from this major addition, I also added Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer; and Kulrath Knight to the primitives, as well as a test file for each to make sure it worked.
Hopefully y'all will find this patch useful.
Oh, and I should point out that it only works with one Counter in the target specification, i imagine if you put two in the same one then it would either overwrite the first with the second or merge them into some sort of hybrid counter monstrosity, either way, I wouldn't suggest it. "
Cards with vanishing are also codable now. Have a look at the comments for explanation.

- Added remove/add counters as a cost, patch by Salmelo, thanks man!. See primitives/mtg.txt -> Thallid to see how it works
- added test for i286 by salmelo
- added basic display for counters (this needs improvement) by salmelo
- fix for issue 301 (creatures go to graveyard)
- This adds an important change to "movedTo", which now accepts a "full" target description in both "from" and "movedTo". The point is that a card does not move to "creature|graveyard" from "battlefield" but moves from "creature|battlefield" to "graveyard".
- fix issue 153 (Tokens should go to graveyard)
- "token" keyword can now be used in the parser with things such as Creature[-token] for "noncreature token"
- Let's stop using "token" as a type
Notes to programmers:
1. This feature uses an awful lot of copy-pasta, using "protetcion from()" as a base. While I'm learning the architecture, it's easier for me to have a dedicated single-purpose piece of code to work with, than trying to create multi-purpose code. I'm aware that this isn't a very elegant approach though, and I hope to be able to refactor additions like this into multi-purpose code once I have a better understanding of the architecture as a whole.
2. Please check the questions I'll add in my next code comments, specifically about AI integration and activated abilities / instants / sorceries.
3. I did have a crash (with the debugger complaining about stack corruption around the cd variable) during testing. I wasn't able to reproduce it though. I did have to clean the solution in-between when I updated to the primitives system, so perhaps there was this cleaning solved whatever corruption was in my files. I'm mentioning the issue in case someone has an idea on where my code might be risky (I'm still probne to making beginners mistakes).
Thanks to TheDark for the bug report on Urza's lands.
Note that the lands still don't work entirely correct, they give you the option to tap them for one mana even when they shouldn't anymore. This can be fixed when aslongas(cards) <1 is working.
Limitations:
- Operators for "greater than", "less than", "unequal" have not been implemented, but if a card actually needs them, you can use a preceding minus sign to negate a comparison. Example: -power=3 means "power not equal to 3", -toughness<=3 means "toughness>3".
- You can't use spaces when specifying such restrictions. Write "power<=3" instead of "power <= 3"
- You now need to use a space before the "<" and ">" commands that count the matches for lord(), foreach(), all() and aslongas(). So far we always did use spaces in front of them without actually needing to, now we need to.
- manacost restrictions don't take "X" costs into account. Example: Mistmeadow Skulkin (FUT) has protection from manacost>=3. Blaze has a converted manacost of 1, but when you cast it with an X of 2, then it actually has a converted manacost of 3 while on the stack, and Mistmeadow Skulkin would be protected from it, but currently it isn't.
Please review the code, I'll add a few remarks/questions of my own.
Now: auto=@movedTo(this|graveyard,library,hand,exile) from(battlefield) ...
Alternatives:
auto=@movedFrom(this|battlefield) ...
auto=@movedTo(this|*) from(battlefield) ...
auto=@movedTo(this|-battlefield) from(battlefield) ...
Suggestions? How many cards would benefit from such an addition?
-fix issue 161 (brass man can untap outside of upkeep). Use "myUpkeepOnly" keyword. Other keywords such as "myDrawOnly" of course work. Haven't implemented "opponent" yet, is it needed ?
- fix issue 168 (kudzu)
- Fix issue 162 (copy VS shroud). This fix introduces a new keyword: NotATarget() instead of Target(). (Which was the best way for me to keep some kind of backward compatibility/ not alter the code too much / fix the bug)
- fixed divergent growth (issue 243). Unfortunately the underlying issue is quite complex, and Wagic doesn't handle it very well. Basically, all "until end of turn" effects run the risk of being partially deleted before the end of the turn, leading to segfaults or memory leaks. This is because some abilities' "clone" method doesn't actually clone them entirely... The fix for divergent growth is a hack that works only for lords+mana producer combination, but I need a more "generic fix" in the long run...
- fix a memory leak with "Prevent All combat damages" ability
- Fix issue 242 (Equip can be used outside of the main phases)
- introducing "attach" keyword. Same as equip but can be used anytime. Untested
- introducing "asSorcery" keyword. Can be used the same way as "myTurnOnly" on activated abilities to restrict their usage. Untested. Other similar keywords will follow, please let me know which ones would be useful
- added Warren Instigator (ZEN) and test script. Thanks to Niegen for finding it.
- temporarily removed angry_mob6.txt from the test suite and added it to the "bugs" section, since the script occasionally fails and we haven't found the reason yet. See issue 240.
- added test script for Fog Bank
- added recently uploaded equipment scripts to test suite (not sure why the weren't added upon uploading them, looks like an oversight)
- fixed another bug in recently uploaded MRD file, it contained Vulshok Morningstar (a DST card with a wrong 9ED id and was inserted at the wrong position in the alphabetical order).
