While I was trying to code Frantic Search I discovered that also Rewind (http://magiccards.info/query?q=rewind&v=card&s=cname) was missing. Since this is the 1st time i try to code cards, I thought that maybe this one was easier to code than the at-least-three-or-maybe-four-token-spawner Frantic Search. Here it is. In my tests it was working 100% of the times, but maybe there's some silly mistake which makes my code useless... Could someone have a look at it, please? Thanks in advance

Edit (mrbigs): changed target(land) to notatarget(land).

Re: Rewind (requires testing)
this is a good workaround version of it, its not that its useless, the reason we havent added cards like this is because the use of tokens is a workaround that has alot of exploitable quilities.
Re: Rewind (requires testing)
shouldn't we add all these workarounds in a crappy.txt file in primitives (with grade "crappy") ?
This would mean we don't support it, but people can activate it in their options.
Or is it something we just don't want to maintain at all? (Zethfox, the decision belongs to Dr.Solomat and you, because you are the guys doing 99% of card maintenance these days)
The maintenance would mostly be: remove this card from "crappy.txt" the day it is supported and added to mtg.txt or borderline.txt

Re: Rewind (requires testing)
personally myself i would preffer not to, i think of adding workarounds as kinda saying "im ok with not having real support for X ability"
so i wont even be caught adding a workaround card. maybe doc might, thats up to him tho.
if the workaround did not involve a token, i would consider it tho. however we know where i stand with the "token" workaround addiations.

Re: Rewind (requires testing)
ok, fair enough. I think it's fair to say it's your call here
Re: Rewind (requires testing)
I would vote to add it to a crappy.txt, but since I don't have time at the moment and would not follow-up to do the maintenance, I will personnaly not do it.... anyway I will move this post to the "crappy" section of card coding, since it work, people are free to add them to their own crappy file...wololo wrote:shouldn't we add all these workarounds in a crappy.txt file in primitives (with grade "crappy") ?

Re: Rewind & Cloud of Faeries (Working - Crappy)
Hi all,
since you think this card can be useful in some way, I'll also add my version of Cloud of Faeries. In the next days I'll work on more cards of this type.
