FRF Cards Bug?

TappedOut forum

Posted on May 5, 2016, 9:37 a.m. by Bovine073

On both my cube and my deck for my cube (http://tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/home-tarkir-cube/?cat=color); (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/home-tarkir-cube-full/?cat=color), some of my FRF multicolored cards (6/10 of them) are included in the multicolored category, buth the other 4 are in their respective colors. This is very strange, could anyone offer any insight?

Cards in multicolored (GOLD) category: Torrent Elemental, Shaman of the Great Hunt, Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest, Daghatar the Adamant, Brutal Hordechief, Yasova Dragonclaw.

The 4 that are in their respective colors are: Warden of the First Tree, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Tasigur, the Golden Fang, and soulfire grandmaster.

This is very odd as there is no rhyme or reason to this, they were all part of the mega-cycle of 10 cards in FRF that each had an allied color with an enemy and allied color ability.

NOTE: My custom categories is not affecting (or effecting) this. It is the same for both the deck and the cube.

Thanks, and I hope someone can help out (it is quite confusing).

might have been updated by an EDH player. The multicolour cards for the intents of non-EDH MTG are as the symbols in the top right state. For EDH every colour symbol of the card (not included in reminder text though) is part of the colour identity of the card. So for example, Alesha is red. But in EDH she is Mardu. Sorry if I have taught you how to suck eggs and you already knew all this. This is my guess as to why they come up as they do

The cards showing up as Gold have "additional colors" defined in their card info tags. The ones that show up as mono-color don't have anything entered for "additional colors". Which one is right depends on exactly what the "additional colors" field is intended to represent. That's a site design question, so hopefully someone in charge of that stuff can offer some insight.

maiden77 yeah, color identity. I know what it is lol :P

I mean, though. Brutal Hordechief is multicolored and Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is red, my point is it is inconsistent. I like your theory.

Rhadamanthus yeah, I guess now it's time to wait lol. Thanks for the comment.

I must have forgotten to add in the additional colours section for Alesha. But yeah, any card that has the costs of an ability that is a different colour than the mana cost of the card will show up as gold by our features.

Which honestly, is how you should be viewing the cards for cube. This is a problem with some flip cards however, like Elusive Tormentor  Flip and Archangel Avacyn  Flip. Cubetutor is more flexible in this regard, but it doesn't have the superior catergories function that we have for our cube and decklists. It's probably the most useful function tappedout has for cube right now.
