Phyrexian Metamorph (Wrong code)

Post by Niegen »

Code: Select all

[card]
name=Phyrexian Metamorph
mana={3}{p(U)}
auto=copy NotATarget(creature)
auto=transforms((artifact)) forever
type=Artifact Creature
subtype=Shapeshifter
power=0
toughness=0
text=({(u/p)} can be paid with either {U} or 2 life.) You may have Phyrexian Metamorph enter the battlefield as a copy of any artifact or creature on the battlefield, except it's an artifact in addition to its other types.
[/card]
Sorry this time it's mine! The shapeshifter should be susceptible to artifact removal after copying a non-artifact creature. On this aspect, the code works for me.
However, and similarly to some other cards that use phyrexian mana, I cannot cast the card for {3}{U}. I always lose 2 life and use 3 mana of the 4 I have.

Deck used for testing:

Code: Select all

#NAME:(((000)))Phyrexian Metamorph
Phyrexian Metamorph *20
Ancient Grudge *16
Island *8
Forest *8
Mountain *8

It seems like you missed the word "may".

Metamorph can copy any artifact, not only creatures and AFAIK, there is no support for creatures becoming non-creatures, only the other way round. This was the closest I got with the drawback of not triggering creature ETB effects.
