Code: Select all

[card]
name=Nirkana Revenant
auto={B}:1/1
auto=@tapped(swamp|mybattlefield): add{B}
text=Whenever you tap a Swamp for mana, add {B} to your mana pool (in addition to the mana the land produces). -- {B}, Nirkana Revenant gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

Edit: Great recomendation Zethfox

EDIT ABRA: Change title from require confirmation to crappy/borderline... will probably stay so for a while...

why not try a trigger like" @tapped(swamp|mybattlefield): add{B} " rather then lording the ability have it trigger off her. give it a shot.

the only issue i would see is that you cant really tell the card "tapped for mana" so even using a "tap target card" effect would give the person free black mana.

The problem here is that the card also produces black mana when Not being tapped for mana. This is a huge difference!

i can see that as an issue..lording the ability also has probelms too, like if you were to play with other cards that are using "lord(land|" when it should be giving it to you AND giving you the other one...i think digix offered the best solution to this...by altering the basic lands to include "aslongas(certain cards|mybattlefield)" it might be possible...however this would only work for cards that are basic lands, the specail lands might be too complex with this

There is actually nothing to fix. Nirkana Revenant's ability is just not supported...

As Dotkor said, it's just not supported, nevertheless you could add this one in your borderline.txt or even in a "crappy.txt" if you want to play with... Will be buggy, but as long as you know it I suppose you could live with it..

Hi Dr. Solomat: I don't follow the argument that you can tap swamps (or any other basic land) but not produce mana.

So my question is either: 1) how is a swamp defined: anything that produces black mana?, or 2) is there any instance where swamps (or other basic lands) can be tapped without producing mana?

I apologize if the question is silly but I'd like to understand better the argument regarding this card.

Thanks.
