ENGINE: Support Balduvian Horde (random discard as a cost) - #7320
Conversation
CR 701.9b distinguishes a random discard from a player-selected one, but only
the EFFECT layer implemented it. As a COST, random discard was unimplemented in
four places, inconsistently:
* casting.rs::resolve_non_self_discard_requirement - selection-agnostic, so
it prompts and the payer picks
* mana_abilities::discard_cost_choice - gates on Chosen, Random leg
never offered
* engine_payment_choices.rs unless-payment - destructures `selection: _`
and always raises WardDiscardChoice
* effects/pay.rs resolution scope - deliberately fails the
payment rather than faking Paid
The practical consequence on the unless-payment path: a Balduvian Horde-class
cost ("sacrifice it unless you discard a card at random") let the payer choose
which card to pitch, silently converting the printed cost into a strictly
cheaper one.
Extract the effect layer's existing implementation into
`effects::discard::discard_at_random` as the single authority for
game-selected discard, and route the unless-payment path through it.
The extraction is the point: the two layers were one copy-paste away from
drifting on the three things that are easy to get independently wrong -
which RNG is used, how a mid-batch replacement effect is surfaced, and
whether a short pool discards partially. The doc comment pins all three.
RNG is `state.rng`, the seeded replay-deterministic game RNG, never
`rand::thread_rng()`: a replayed game and the CR 732.2a accept-time loop
replay must reproduce identical discards. A test asserts same-seed
reproducibility, with a companion reach-guard proving the picks actually vary
by seed so that assertion is not vacuous.
The authority deliberately does NOT enforce CR 118.3's all-or-nothing rule.
The two layers genuinely disagree about a short pool - an effect discards what
it can, a cost is simply unpayable - so that check stays with the cost caller,
which already performs it.
Scope: unless-payment only. The casting and mana-ability call sites have the
same gap, but casting.rs is a shared hot path and widening the blast radius
buys nothing here; they are listed above so the remaining work is visible
rather than silently deferred.
Tests: four at the authority level (exact count, seed determinism, the
cross-seed reach-guard, short-pool contract) and three on the cost path
(random pays inline with no prompt; chosen still prompts - the no-regression
twin; a short hand is unpayable per CR 118.3 with no partial discard).

With the unless-payment resolver now honoring CardSelectionMode::Random, the
parser can lower "at random" truthfully instead of choosing between two wrong
answers.
Before this, both options were bad:
* lower as Chosen - the clause parses, but the payer picks which card to
pitch, making Balduvian Horde's printed cost strictly cheaper (keep the
bomb, ditch a land)
* fail closed - honest, but drops the whole "unless [you] discard a
card at random" class to Unimplemented
parse_unless_discard_cost_phrase now carries the CR 701.9b randomness axis
alongside the count and type axes it already had. The typed-noun arm stays
Chosen: no printed card combines a type phrase with "at random" in an
unless-cost, and the untyped arm owns the axis until one ships.
Test updates - three separate tests encoded the old fail-closed contract, and
only a full-suite run surfaced all of them:
* unless_discard_cost_phrase_lowers_random_discard_as_random (was
..._rejects_random_discard) - both payer forms agree, and the mode is
Random
* unless_discard_cost_phrase_without_random_tail_stays_chosen - the
no-regression twin; without this the randomness axis could leak onto every
unless-discard and make Court of Ambition pick for the opponent
* trigger_unless_you_discard_a_card_at_random_lowers_as_random_cost (was
..._preserves_unsupported_clause) - the Balduvian Horde trigger. Its doc
comment records all three states the test has been in so the next reader
does not re-litigate the history. `selection` is the load-bearing
assertion: a Chosen there is the original bug back, with the test
otherwise still passing.
New integration coverage drives the real pipeline - Balduvian Horde built from
its verbatim Scryfall Oracle text and cast, so the ETB trigger, the "at random"
parse, and the cost payment all have to work together: paying discards without
a prompt and the Horde survives; declining sacrifices it with the hand
untouched; an empty hand cannot pay (CR 118.3) and it is sacrificed anyway.

Changes requested
Two correctness blockers remain at bb88ffeb3922685042bd859129df4dbcf6b7f572.
-
Random discard payment is recorded as an effect discard.
discard_at_randomalways delegates todiscard_caused_by_effect_with_source_and_frame(crates/engine/src/game/effects/discard.rs:574-622), which suppliescaused_by_effect: true. The Balduvian Horde path invokes that helper while paying an unless-cost, but the established cost authoritydiscard_as_cost_with_sourcedeliberately passesfalse(discard.rs:513-521). This makesReplacementCondition::EffectCausedDiscard(Library of Leng) incorrectly apply to the payment. The existing regression testlibrary_of_leng_does_not_apply_to_discard_costdocuments the required boundary. Please carry explicit cost/effect provenance through the random helper/caller and add the corresponding random-cost regression. -
A replacement choice loses the unless-payment continuation. The new random branch in
handle_unless_paymentreturns whendiscard_at_randomyieldsNeedsReplacementChoice, but it has not persisted an unless-payment resume.PendingCostMoveResumehas no discard-unless variant, and the replacement-resume drain therefore has no owner that can callfinish_unless_payment. This is unlike selected discard costs (which persistPendingDiscardForCostResume) and counter unless-payments (which persistCounterAdditionUnlessPayment). A Library-of-Leng/Madness-style choice can consequently leave the pending effect neither accepted nor rejected. Please add a typed persisted continuation and end-to-end tests for both replacement outcomes (including the multi-card case if the random count surface supports it).
The direct random-effect helper can still be shared, but its caller must not erase the semantic distinction between a resolving effect and paying a cost.

Addresses both review blockers. Each was verified against the code before
changing anything; both were real.
1. RANDOM DISCARD PAYMENT WAS RECORDED AS AN EFFECT DISCARD
discard_at_random hard-coded the effect route, so a cost payment reached
route_discard with caused_by_effect: true and Library of Leng
(ReplacementCondition::EffectCausedDiscard) wrongly applied to it.
Provenance now travels with the call as a required parameter with no default:
DiscardCause::{Effect, Cost}. A type rather than a bool because this axis fails
SILENTLY - the wrong value yields a plausible game that is subtly wrong, not a
crash.
The regression runs both arms in ONE test on purpose. A Cost-only assertion
would still pass if the parameter were ignored and everything routed as a cost;
the Effect arm proves the flag is actually read.
2. A REPLACEMENT CHOICE LOST THE UNLESS-PAYMENT CONTINUATION
PendingCostMoveResume had no discard-unless variant, so the drain had no owner
able to call finish_unless_payment and the pending effect was left neither
accepted nor rejected. The code comment claiming "its cursor owns the
continuation" was an unverified assumption, and false.
Adds PendingCostMoveResume::RandomDiscardUnlessPayment, modelled on
CounterAdditionUnlessPayment: persisted at the pause with the full payment
payload plus a batch cursor, drained through the same finish_unless_payment
tail, with the same Delivered->Paid / Prevented->Failed mapping (a redirected
discard still happened per CR 701.9a; a prevented one cannot pay per CR 118.3).
A second pause mid-remainder re-parks the narrowed cursor, so an N-card random
discard can pause once per card without losing the payment.
RandomDiscardOutcome::NeedsReplacementChoice now carries that cursor rather than
storing it globally, so each caller persists it in its own typed continuation.
3. "at random" REQUIRED FULL CONSUMPTION (CodeRabbit)
A prefix match also accepted "at randomly" and "at random foo". Wrapped in
all_consuming.
INCIDENTAL, all guardrails that wanted the real fix rather than the easy one:
* GameState stack budget - the new variant tripped the 12,800-byte guard.
Boxed the payload into RandomDiscardUnlessPaymentResume per that guard's own
instruction, rather than widening the constant.
* clippy too_many_arguments (8/7) - bundled the caller-supplied axes into
RandomDiscardRequest. Better shape regardless: player/count/cause are all
easy to transpose positionally, and cause is the one that fails silently.
* CR 603.5 prompt census - engine.rs:12004 => :12019, pure line movement,
drift-logged in the established format. git diff -U0 has exactly three
hunks, all inside drain_pending_cost_move_resume and all above the producer
(+1/+1/+13 = +15, zero deletions); 12004+15 matches exactly; the producer at
the new line is the same announcement-time modal mint inside
begin_pending_trigger_target_selection; the other four entries did not move;
total/partition asserts stayed green. The new resume RESUMES an
already-minted UnlessPayment rather than creating a recipient, so it is
correctly absent from that census.
* The census caught its own drift-log entry: the first draft quoted the
producer verbatim, and that literal IS the needle the scanner greps for
(assembled via format! precisely so the row cannot count itself). Rewritten
to describe the producer instead, with the reason recorded in the log.
NOT FIXED, DELIBERATELY: the effect layer still drops the remainder of a random
batch on a replacement pause. That predates this PR (the code was extracted
verbatim) and needs its own resume plumbing; the asymmetry is documented at the
effect call site so it reads as a known gap rather than an oversight.

Thanks — both blockers were real, and I verified each against the code before changing anything rather than taking the review on trust. Fixed in the pushed commit. 1. Random discard payment recorded as an effect discardConfirmed exactly as described: Provenance now travels with the call as a required parameter with no default: pub(crate) enum DiscardCause {
/// A resolving spell or ability discards the card (CR 701.9a).
Effect,
/// The discard IS the payment of a cost (CR 118.12 / CR 601.2h).
Cost,
}A type rather than a bool precisely because this axis fails silently: the wrong value produces a plausible game that is subtly wrong, not a crash. The effect caller passes Regression added: You were right that this is the general failure, not a detail: the PR's whole premise is that a shared authority must not erase a caller's semantics, and I erased a different one on the way in. 2. Replacement choice loses the unless-payment continuationAlso confirmed. Added
Two things that fell out of this and are worth flagging since they touch shared infrastructure:
3. CodeRabbit's parser point (also fixed)
Not fixed, deliberatelyThe effect layer still drops the remainder of a random batch on a replacement pause. That behaviour predates this PR — I extracted it verbatim — and fixing it needs its own resume plumbing on the effect side. I documented the asymmetry at the effect call site so it reads as a known gap rather than an oversight. Happy to do it here instead if you would rather not leave the two halves uneven.

Reviewed at current head 5b70fdc3944e2d7742d45394cc7d40b8dbc66845.
The prior request was against an older head. The explicit DiscardCause split now fixes the old Library-of-Leng provenance bug, and the parser now rejects partial at random tails. Two current-head requirements remain.
-
Correct the invalid CR citation.
crates/engine/src/game/engine_payment_choices.rs:784annotates the unless-discard arm withCR 702.24a; that rule reference is not present in the current Comprehensive Rules and does not support this behavior. The relevant rules areCR 118.12afor the “unless” construction,CR 701.9a/bfor discard/random discard, andCR 118.3for the all-or-nothing payment boundary. Please replace/remove the incorrect reference and verify every citation in the changed path against the current CR source before pushing. -
Add end-to-end, discriminating coverage for the new replacement continuation. The new code parks
PendingCostMoveResume::RandomDiscardUnlessPaymentatengine_payment_choices.rs:851-869and resumes it through bothReplacementDeliveredandReplacementPreventedatengine.rs:5747-5785/5868-5878, but the added tests cover only uninterrupted payment and the helper’s cursor shape. Add runtime tests throughGameRunner/applythat drive an actual replacement choice during a random unless-discard and prove both terminal boundaries:- a delivered/redirected discard resumes the preserved payment (including the remaining random picks, if any), leaves no pending cost continuation, and prevents the guarded unless-effect; and
- a fully prevented discard drains the continuation, abandons the remaining payment, and resolves the guarded unless-effect.
Include a second replacement pause in a multi-card payment if the chosen fixture can express it, since the new
remaining_eligible/remaining_countre-parking branch is otherwise unexercised. Assertions should fail if the new continuation is removed or if eitherReplacementDelivered/ReplacementPreventeddispatch arm is omitted.
The current parse-diff sticky is still bound to f9af1320ad3f7b59d6eeedde390470a30ac5d520, not this merge head, and the fresh CodeRabbit run was rate-limited; those are required evidence gaps for a subsequent approval, not the sole basis of this request. Current CI is also still running.

Thanks for the re-review at the merge head. 1.
|
…to-end
Review asked for runtime coverage proving the new
PendingCostMoveResume::RandomDiscardUnlessPayment actually settles its payment
across a replacement choice. The prior tests stopped at the helper's cursor
shape and uninterrupted payment, so the dispatch arms were unexercised through
apply().
Adds three GameRunner tests driving a real replacement choice during Balduvian
Horde's random unless-discard:
* accepted redirect - the card is exiled instead of hitting the graveyard
(still discarded, CR 701.9c), the preserved payment resumes, and the Horde
survives
* declined redirect - the natural hand->graveyard move happens and the
payment resumes identically; both branches of the choice must reach the
same continuation
* reach-guard - an empty hand makes the cost unpayable, nothing parks,
and the Horde is sacrificed, so the two above cannot pass merely because
the Horde survives by default
The first two assert pending_cost_move_resume is POPULATED while the choice is
open and DRAINED afterward, so they fail if the continuation is removed.
FIXTURE CHOICE is forced by reachability. After the DiscardCause split a cost
discard can no longer pause at the Discard replacement gate: the corpus's only
two ReplacementEvent::Discard definitions are the Library of Leng class
(EffectCausedDiscard, correctly excluded for costs) and the Dodecapod class
(not Optional, raises no choice). The pause survives only at the second gate -
the hand->graveyard Moved replacement inside complete_discard_to_graveyard,
which is not gated on caused_by_effect. So these use an optional Rest-in-Peace
class graveyard redirect.
TWO BRANCHES REMAIN UNTESTED, deliberately and disclosed rather than papered
over:
* ReplacementPrevented - believed unreachable for a hand->graveyard move.
Every ApplyResult::Prevented path in replacement.rs is damage prevention,
regeneration, a destroy-shield, or counter-placement prevention; none can
apply to this event, and at that gate a Prevented result returns Complete
without pausing. The arm is KEPT: it is the rules-correct mapping if the
shape ever becomes reachable (CR 118.3 - a prevented discard cannot pay),
and dropping it from the eligibility list would strand a parked
continuation instead of draining it. Writing a synthetic test that
manufactures a state the game cannot produce would assert nothing.
* the remaining_eligible/remaining_count re-park - needs a MULTI-card random
unless-discard to express a second pause mid-remainder. Balduvian Horde
discards one card, and no known printed card pairs a random discard with a
count above one in an unless-cost.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not destroy the parked continuation before validating it, and do not panic on it.
take() removes whatever PendingCostMoveResume variant is parked. If the variant is not RandomDiscardUnlessPayment, the continuation is already gone when unreachable! fires. pending_cost_move_resume is serde-persisted state, so a stale or foreign variant is reachable from deserialized state, not only from an engine invariant. A panic in the reducer also kills the game session instead of surfacing a recoverable error, which every other failure in this module reports as EngineError::InvalidAction.
Inspect the variant first, then take it.

Magic Comprehensive Rules CR 118.3 118.12 partial payment unless pays cost replacement effect prevents discard
💡 Result:
In Magic: The Gathering, the rules regarding costs and replacement effects are defined as follows: 1. Requirement to Pay: Rule 118.3 states that a player cannot pay a cost without having the necessary resources to pay it fully [1][2][3]. 2. "Can't" vs. Replacement Effects: The distinction between what prevents a cost and what merely modifies it is critical. - If a "can't" effect exists that prohibits an event (e.g., "Players can't discard cards"), a player cannot choose to pay a cost that includes that event, because they cannot perform the necessary action [4][5]. - Conversely, if a replacement effect merely changes the results of the cost-paying action (e.g., "If you would discard a card, exile it instead"), the cost is still considered successfully paid [6]. The game sees the attempt to pay the cost, and the replacement effect simply alters what happens to the card during that process [7][6]. 3. Rule 118.12 Context: Rule 118.12 clarifies that clauses such as "If [a player] [does, doesn't, or can't]" check whether a player chose to pay an optional cost or started to pay a mandatory cost [1][2][3]. This focuses on the player's initiation of the action rather than the final outcome of that action [1][3]. In summary, a replacement effect that changes the outcome of a discard (e.g., moving the card to exile instead of the graveyard) does not prevent a player from paying a cost that requires discarding, as the action itself is still initiated and the game state treats the cost as paid [7][6]. However, a "can't" effect that prohibits the act of discarding entirely will prevent a player from choosing to pay a cost that requires discarding [4][5].

Preserve all-or-nothing random-discard payment
When a later discard returns ReplacementPrevented, earlier cards in the batch remain discarded, but finish_unless_payment still resolves the unless-effect. CR 118.3 forbids partial payment. Make the batch transactional, or restore all prior moves and related events before resolving the unpaid branch. Add a regression test for a multi-card batch prevented after the first discard.

Route successful resumed payments through finish_successful_unless_payment.
A successful resumed payment skips EffectResolved, optional-effect handling, and sequential-sibling resolution because finish_unless_payment receives pay = true and payment_failed = false. Use finish_successful_unless_payment on success and finish_unless_payment only on failure.

Hold at current head |
Both review blockers were verified against the code before changing anything; both were real. 1. A DELIVERED REPLACEMENT RESUMED THROUGH THE UNPAID EPILOGUE handle_unless_payment returns EARLY through finish_successful_unless_payment when the payment succeeds (engine_payment_choices.rs, the `if !payment_failed` arm); only the failed/declined path falls through to finish_unless_payment, whose entire body is gated on `!pay || payment_failed`. The resume called that decline tail with payment_failed = false, so on success it skipped everything the paid epilogue does: the EffectResolved event, the IfAPlayerDoes alternative-outcome sub, and the SequentialSibling chain. Balduvian Horde's body has none of those, which is exactly why the existing tests passed over it. Now routed through finish_successful_unless_payment, and the accepted- replacement test asserts EffectResolved is emitted on resume - that event is produced ONLY by the paid epilogue, so it is the discriminator that catches this specific regression. 2. A PREVENTED REPLACEMENT WAS TREATED AS DECLINING THE PAYMENT CR 118.12 (docs/MagicCompRules.txt:1031): the "if they do / don't" clause "checks whether the player chose to pay an optional cost ... regardless of what events actually occurred". The player already elected to pay, and the up-front eligible-hand check already established the CR 118.3 resources, before any replacement was consulted. A redirect and a prevention alike leave that choice intact. The old Delivered->Paid / Prevented->Failed mapping was copied from resume_counter_addition_unless_payment rather than derived from the rule; under it, an applicable replacement preventing the first move would sacrifice Balduvian Horde out from under a player who had paid. The `delivered` parameter is therefore REMOVED, not merely re-mapped: the boundary no longer participates in the decision. Both drain boundaries settle identically. ReplacementPrevented stays in the eligibility list purely so a parked continuation is DRAINED rather than stranded there. Consequence: RandomDiscardUnlessPaymentResume no longer needs `cost`, `effect_description` or `remaining` - the paid epilogue does not take them, and the CR 118.12a APNAP poll correctly stops once a player pays. Dropping them also shrinks the boxed payload. Verification: 18,993 lib + 4,908 integration green; `clippy -p phase-engine --all-targets -D warnings` clean. (A workspace-wide clippy run fails in crates/probe-pin on `std::os::unix` under Windows - that crate arrived with main, is unrelated to this change, and compiles on the Linux CI runners.)

Both blockers fixed in 2 — delivered replacement resumed through the unpaid epilogueConfirmed exactly as described, and the trace is worth recording: Now routed through 1 — prevented replacement treated as decliningYour CR reading is right, and I've taken it further than a re-map: the boundary no longer participates in the decision at all, so the CR 118.12 checks whether the player chose to pay "regardless of what events actually occurred". That choice was made, and the up-front eligible-hand check had already established the CR 118.3 resources, before any replacement was consulted. So both drain boundaries settle identically as paid. Worth naming the root cause: the old mapping was copied from Consequence: On the requested prevented-replacement regressionI still can't write an honest one, and I'd rather say so than add a test that asserts nothing. From the previous round, unaddressed so far: every Under this fix the point is also now moot for correctness: both boundaries run the same code, so a prevented-boundary test would exercise the identical path the two existing replacement tests already cover.

Approved at current head 856f0c01ee4d1e6a4be9977ecb5a93a06dc5ad93. The refreshed exact-head CI and parse-diff evidence are clean; the random-discard unless-payment continuation preserves both reachable replacement boundaries and its runtime regressions.
2 participants
Implements random discard as a cost, and with it Balduvian Horde (
{2}{R}{R}5/5).Follow-up to #7261, which surfaced this gap.
The problem
CR 701.9b draws a hard line between a random discard and a player-selected one. Only the effect layer implemented it. As a cost the mode was dropped in four places, inconsistently:
engine_payment_choices.rsunless-paymentselection: _→ always raisedWardDiscardChoiceeffects/pay.rsresolution scopePaidcasting.rs::resolve_non_self_discard_requirementmana_abilities::discard_cost_choiceChosen→ aRandomleg is never offeredOn the unless-payment path that is not cosmetic. Balduvian Horde let the payer choose which card to pitch, so you kept your bomb and ditched a land — a strictly cheaper cost than the one printed on the card.
That left the parser with two wrong options and no right one: lower
"at random"asChosen(silently cheapen the card) or fail the clause closed (drop the whole class toUnimplemented). #7261 went with the latter. This PR removes the dilemma.The change
1. One authority for game-selected discard.
effects::discard::discard_at_random, extracted from the effect layer's existing implementation rather than written fresh, so the two layers physically cannot drift. The doc comment pins the three things that are easy to get independently wrong:state.rng— the seeded, replay-deterministic game RNG, neverrand::thread_rng(). A replayed game and the CR 732.2a accept-time loop replay must reproduce identical discards.RandomDiscardOutcome::NeedsReplacementChoice), so callers can't half-handle CR 616.1.2. The unless-payment path honors
Random— paying inline through that authority instead of prompting. Modelled on theMillarm directly below it, the other unless-cost with no choice to offer.3. The parser emits
Randomfor the"at random"tail, which is now the honest lowering.Tests
Randomon both payer forms; plain discard staysChosentrigger_unless_you_discard_a_card_at_random_*has now been in three states —Chosen(cheapened the card),Unimplemented(dropped the card), and nowRandom. The test documents that history so the next reader doesn't re-litigate it.Scope
Deliberately limited to the unless-payment path.
casting.rsandmana_abilities.rshave the same gap, but neither is on Balduvian Horde's path andcasting.rsis a shared hot path — widening the blast radius buys nothing here. Both are named in the table above so the remaining work is visible rather than silently deferred.effects/pay.rskeeps its explicit failure, and its test still pins that contract.Verification
