How to Fix annoying problems with Tapping Mana on wrong Phase.

Post by wagicmagic28 »

If you delete the lines about Mana and make your MTG file in the rules folder look like this that annoying problem where you tap your mana on the draw or upkeep phase too early NEVER will happen again. LOOK@#Mana Empties from manapool at the end of each phase...It should be like this I noticed no one posted a fix for this and I remember reading a thread about the accidental tapping mana/land question in the Forum here. So I found this fix to work for myself and it works great...The Mtg file should look like this...copy and paste it if you want.

# This is the basic rules for MTG.
# Do not add any "Draw X cards at startup" or "shuffle" here, as the story mode

and the test suite rely on this
# file, and they usually don't expect the draw rule or shuffle to happen
# If you want shuffle or draw events, put them directly in your own rules file that

includes this file, see clasic.txt for example

this is indeed a good way to stop that issue..

:) its not really a bug or anything tho, the reason we had it empty even in the upkeep and draw was becuase it is part of mtgs core rules.
there are cards that give mana in those phases and that mana should not be able to carry over into main, but as long as you are not using any cards that care about it, then there is no issue doing the fix for it you posted here.
