Must use one line per ability for rules text as comment for better text and regexp searching by IDE

Why it's a custom effect instead of standard SeekCardEffect?

Agreed, the custom filter isn't actually necessary. You can make a predicate like ManaValueLessThanControlledLandCountPredicate but with equal to instead

Miss permanent null check

Looks like you wrongly use player and controller (must invert). Also check who does damage and make an answer.

Instead copy paste full code from existing effect -- extends DraftFromSpellbookEffect and override apply method like: "if super.apply then exile/cast"

Maybe should be a method in Player class Set<Card> draftFromSpellbook(List<String> spellbook, PutCards putCards) to handle the functionality

@xenohedron
As I remember play and cast now are same due oracle changes few releases ago? If true then no needs in duplicated class

I'm pretty sure there's still a difference - but shouldn't need a duplicated class anyway.

+                return false;
+            }
+            game.informPlayers(controller.getLogName() + " seeks a card from their library");
+            if (inZone == Zone.BATTLEFIELD) {


New zone code must be part of Player.seekCard method (additional params), not here.

I've decided to modify SeekCardEffect directly instead of using Player's seekCard() because of next problem.
There are several cards that manipulate those cards that were found through the Seek. For example, Signature Spells or Back-Alley Gardener or such a complex example like Plunderer's Prize.
So it seems that seekCard() method in PlayerImpl should return cards that it has found, for example as Cards interface. Would it be more appropriate way?

Yes, changing the return type of that method to Card or Cards is the way to go (then when you need the boolean result, you check if null/empty)

Sidorovich77 · 2024-09-15T11:54:54Z

I've added more complex Seek method that returns set of cards to allow further manipulations with sought cards. Rule generation is simple enough, because of variety of rule text in cards with seek. I hope that setText() would be suitable for any case.

I'm confused, why do you need controller? this is a method in PlayerImpl, so it seems like a redundant param. (If it's not dependent on the player, then it should instead be directly in the apply method of the Effect.)

Consider using PutCards rather than Zone + tapped.

Also, you should be able to simplify the existing seekCard method to call this more general one - don't want to have duplicate code.
