stop hitting yourself: a quick review of the code of some cards

[copperfield42]

In light of the issue #6838 I searched for a bunch of cards that are somewhat similar to Beast Within and then look into their code looking for their outcome constants, if any, to see if there are other that might need similar treatment as the aforementioned card, and the following are the cards I found:

• Afterlife
• Generous Gift
• Pongify
• Rapid Hybridization
• Cavalier of Dawn
• Essence Vortex
• Geomancer's Gambit
• Transmogrifying Wand

For Assassin's Strike and Desecrated Earth the outcome said its draw a card, but it should be discard

Bomb Squad: Maybe? I don't know what part of it the AI use to select targets, but you don't want to put those counters on your stuff... usually

Glissa's Scorn: If I understand the code correctly, is market as it prevent regeneration, but that is not the case with this card.

And finally for this last few I'm not sure or is debatable I guess: Nature's Claim Descent of the Dragons Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted Ghost Quarter (I actually like its current behavior, but I included it here for completeness)

BTW, outcome status (bad or good) uses for target, not controller/chooser. Example:

• good outcome -- targeted permanent gets good effect (like boost);
• bad outcome -- targeted permanent gets bad effect (like damage).

So if controller must choose permanents for damage -- it's good for him, but outcome must be bad (cause target gets bad effect). Thats the most popular error in outcome setup.

I continued looking into some other cards, this time into Song of the Dryaid/Pacifism style cards, and this are the one I found:

• Brand of Ill Omen
• Cage of Hands
• Cast into Darkness
• Compulsory Rest
• Crystallization
• Darksteel Mutation

• Lawmage's Binding
• Manacles of Decay
• One Thousand Lashes
• Pious Interdiction
• Sluggishness
• Spectral Grasp
• Stab Wound
• Temporal Isolation
• Volrath's Curse

Vow of Wildness: the only one the Vow of cycle marked as detrimental.

Bonds of Faith: is conditionally good or bad

The following either grand a bonus with a downside or downside you can transform into a bonus, so is debatable I guess:

• Spinal Graft
• Parallax Dementia
• Krasis Incubation (also marked as lose life which is incorrect)
• Cagemail
• Utopia Vow

Chained to the Rocks: I'm no sure what to think of this one
