in my early days as Magic player i opened a booster pack of the brand new MIRAGE Edition (
) and then held this rare in hand:
I loved it from the start: A legendary, huge, dark monster with cool artwork!
And today I wanna implement it into Wagic. The problem is one of its abilities:
"First strike when attacking". So, coding this ability just by writing: "abilities=first strike" would not be correct and would make Spirit of the Night better (when blocking) than it is. But I think there is a way, and because I don't like cards that are altered too much just to get them work for Wagic I will code it in a way that it won't have any influence on the game or the card itself.
1. I will give Spirit of the Night a second creature type next to "Spirit". I think i will call it "Spiritofthenight", so the subtype line will be:
"subtype= Spirit Spiritofthenight"
2. Then I add the auto line: "auto=aslongas(spiritofthenight[attacking]|myinplay) first strike"
By this method we would be able to get cool legendary creatures like Leonin Titan work. BUT: This is only possible for legendary permanents!
One example why this is so:
If you control two Charging Paladin and attack with one them (You have coded Charging Paladin as I explained aboth!) the Paladin that stays at home will also get +0/+3 because there is an attacking "chargingpaladin" in play!
CONCLUSION: Don't try this with Non-legendaries!
Without protection from black it works fine!
