Feature request: Add fateseal option #115

Open Wirox opened 6 years ago

701.20a To “fateseal N” means to look at the top N cards of an opponent’s library, put any number of them on the bottom of that library in any order and the rest on top of that library in any order.

ok this might be more complex than I thought. You can't assign scripting actions to opposing piles, so you'd need to run the action on the table (or your own library which would be super gross), then have a popup to select the player you're fatesealing. I think at that point it's quicker to just look at the top card of their library through the built-in menu option, then saying in chat where to move it

The problem with saying in chat where to move it is that your opponent sees the card, which is not how fateseal works.

So the fastest option is taking control of your opponent's library, scrying, then giving back control of their library. Maybe it's not so bad when you know how to do it, but when you, for example, try to take control of just the top card, it gets really messy. So I think the fateseal action would still help.
