    Westvale Abbey shows "Flying, lifelink, indestructible, haste" as the card text. It should be:

    Tap: Add Colorless to your mana pool.
    5, Tap, Pay 1 life: Create a 1/1 white and black Human Cleric creature token.
    5, Tap, Sacrifice five creatures: Transform Westvale Abbey, then untap it.

    It's happening pretty consistently on the Prerelease Event (PRE) set. If it is an issue on *insert site name* here, can we not trap for these errors and retry them, or fail more gracefully? Would be nice to have a better error reporting screen perhaps, that shows the current card, the pulled HTML/HTTP status codes, so that you can locate the cause for these errors. I've tried 3 times to download the [PRE] set, and in all cases, it failed.

    Downloading every set, all data (No scans) yields me the following error:

    System.ArgumentException: Argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero.

    When I hit continue, it was on card "[PRE] Fathom Feeder". Can you please look into/advise?

    Please double check to make sure the flipped cards are displaying correctly.

    On Homura, Human Ascendant, I see a back ID, and it's the number of itself.

    On every other flip card, I see nothing in terms of back ID or how to distinguish it as a flip card (Magiccards.info requires the letter a after the image number, in order to pull the image correctly).

  • posted a message on Dragons of Takir - Haven of the Spirit Dragon (Spoiler Text Error)
    On the spoiler, the text is currently messed up. It says:

    1: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast a Dragon creature spell.

    It should be:

    {T}: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast a Dragon creature spell.

    Can I ask why this is taking so long for someone to post it to the spoiler? I have a bot that relies on the rss feed, and it seems there is significant lag time between the card being spoiled, and the card being posted.

  • posted a message on Amulet of Vigor/Karoo Lands interaction
    All 3 triggers go on the stack simultaneously. You choose the order in which they go on the stack, so if you choose the land's bounce ability first, it will resolve last, thus returning it to your hand after the amulets triggers have resolved.

    Having this error always when trying to import ME3:

    Also, is there any possibility of releasing the source code (Even in a PM)? If things like this fail in the future, I'd like to be able to look at the code and fix it for myself if websites change. I have critical applications depending on this program.

    Here is some more debug info (Got this error message on S2 edition, just grabbing the full information from the set (no scans)):
    ************** Exception Text **************

  • posted a message on Killing a creature with Cipher on the stack
    For instance, if I kill a creature with Executioner's Swing after it's dealt damage to me, but with the "cipher" trigger (Not the card it's casting) on the stack, what happens? Can he still cast the card?

  • posted a message on Simple Card Search Page and API
    I'm noticing a lot of the set names are not matching up correctly with magiccards.info set names.

    uds != ud
    com (Commander on yours) != cmd (Commander on Magiccards.info)

    Also, it would be nice so have the full set name in the set array.

  • posted a message on Activated abilities and targeting.
    Quote from Hoodoo
    An ability or spell only targets if it says the word "Target". Since Gust-Skimmer's ability doesn't contain the word target, it doesn't target anything, it simply grants itself flying.

    (With the exception of casting auras. You choose a target while it's on the stack.)
