feat(parser): parse relative-count per-player cast prohibition (Ward of Bones)#6095
Conversation
…of Bones)
Ward of Bones's first line — "Each opponent who controls more creatures than you
can't cast creature spells. The same is true for artifacts and enchantments." —
parsed to `Unimplemented`. `parse_per_player_conditional_prohibition`
(restriction.rs) modeled only a fixed 3-arm `alt()` of turn-activity per-player
predicates (Angelic Arbiter), and its verb arm handled only the bare "cast spells".
Extend the single handler with two arms, built from already-wired primitives —
no new variant, no new evaluator, no runtime change:
- `parse_controls_more_than_you_condition`: a relative permanent-count per-player
condition arm parsing "controls more <type> than you" into
`ParsedCondition::QuantityComparison { ObjectCount(ScopedPlayer) GT ObjectCount(You) }`
(CR 109.5 "you" = source controller; CR 115.10 ScopedPlayer = affected opponent).
- `parse_cast_typed_spells_predicate`: the typed sibling of the bare "cast spells"
verb, parsing "cast <type> spells" with an optional ". the same is true for
<type> and <type>" continuation (mirroring `same_is_true::parse_sentence`) that
widens the restricted spell types into a single `TargetFilter::Or` on `.affected`.
Line 1 now yields `CantBeCast{Opponents}` + affected `Or[creature, artifact,
enchantment]` + `per_player_condition` QuantityComparison. `per_player_condition`
is already consumed at `is_blocked_by_cant_be_cast_for` and QuantityComparison is
already evaluated by `game::restrictions::evaluate_condition`, so no runtime change.
Line 3 ("can't play lands") is left to its existing `StaticMode::Other("CantPlayLand")`
handler (its runtime doesn't read `per_player_condition`) as an explicit follow-up.

Code Review
This pull request implements parsing support for relative-count predicates ("controls more than you") and typed cast-prohibitions with optional "the same is true for..." continuations (such as on Ward of Bones) within the per-player conditional prohibition parser, accompanied by comprehensive unit tests. The review feedback suggests performance optimizations in the new parser helpers to avoid unnecessary heap allocations when cloning TypeFilter and TargetFilter structures.

To avoid unnecessary heap allocations when cloning TypeFilter (which can contain heap-allocated String, Vec, and Box variants like Subtype or AnyOf), we can pass the TypeFilter by value to the helper closure and only clone it for the first call, allowing the second call to take ownership.

We can avoid cloning the TargetFilter when there is only a single element in filters by consuming the vector using into_iter(). This avoids unnecessary heap allocations associated with cloning TargetFilter variants.

Request changes — Ward of Bones is parsed into a rules-incorrect single restriction.
[HIGH] The typed continuation is collapsed onto the creature comparison. Evidence: restriction.rs:1024-1031 explicitly combines creature/artifact/enchantment spell filters under one creature-count per_player_condition. Scryfall's official 2008-08-01 ruling spells out separate creature, artifact, enchantment, and land comparisons. Why it matters: an opponent with more artifacts but not more creatures is incorrectly allowed to cast artifacts (and the converse can be incorrectly prohibited). Suggested fix: represent each repeated sentence as its own typed conditional prohibition, then add production casting-pipeline coverage for the discriminating creature-vs-artifact and enchantment cases.
[HIGH] The added tests only assert parser AST shape, not actual casting enforcement. Evidence: restriction.rs:3191+ directly calls the parser; the consumer is game/casting.rs's is_blocked_by_cant_be_cast_for. Why it matters: a valid-looking static can still be ignored or bound to the wrong evaluated player in the production cast path. Suggested fix: drive GameScenario/GameAction::CastSpell through the real pre-payment gate and prove the cast is rejected only for the matching relative type count.
The current <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> artifact is now present (updated 2026-07-17T13:24:18Z) and reports the intended one card/two signatures for Ward of Bones; this supersedes the earlier missing-artifact concern. No direct builds were run.
…s + runtime test The prior revision collapsed Ward of Bones' three relative-count prohibitions onto ONE creature-count condition (an `Or[creature,artifact,enchantment]` spell filter gated on the creature count), with an explicit "MODELING NOTE (deliberate approximation)". That is rules-incorrect per the card's 2008-08-01 ruling: an opponent controlling more artifacts but not more creatures would be wrongly allowed to cast artifact spells (and the converse wrongly prohibited). Rework: each type is now an INDEPENDENT prohibition. New multi-def parser `parse_relative_count_typed_cast_prohibitions` emits one `CantBeCast` static per type, each gated on its OWN "controls more <that type> than you" count — mirroring the one-static-per-listed-item pattern of Rayami (`parse_keyword_grant_from_exiled_object_static`) and Scion of Draco (`parse_color_conditional_keyword_grants`). Wired into `parse_static_line_multi_dispatch` before generic sentence-splitting. The single-def `parse_per_player_conditional_prohibition` loses its now-obsolete controls-more arm and typed-spell branch; the flawed `parse_cast_typed_spells_predicate` is removed. `controls_more_than_you_condition` is now a value-builder that clones the filter once (addresses the gemini allocation nit). Runtime coverage (blocker 2): new registered integration test drives the REAL pre-payment gate (`can_cast_object_now` -> `is_blocked_by_cant_be_cast_for`) and proves the cast is rejected ONLY for the type whose count holds — creature-blocked / artifact-allowed when P1 has more creatures, and the inverse when P1 has more artifacts. Both directions are revert-probes for the collapsed model. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Request changes — Ward of Bones still gains supported coverage with a rules-incorrect land restriction, and the runtime proof does not exercise the enchantment prohibition.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] The card's land clause is parsed as an unconditional opponent lock. Evidence: Ward of Bones's official Oracle text says, "Each opponent who controls more lands than you can't play lands," and its official 2008-08-01 ruling spells the corresponding restriction as "Each opponent who controls more lands than you can’t play land cards." dispatch.rs:3174-3190 recognizes any can't play lands line and emits CantPlayLand with only parse_player_scope_filter, so this line loses its relative-count predicate; static_abilities.rs:1631-1650 checks the affected filter and source-relative condition but not per_player_condition for StaticMode::Other. Why it matters: an opponent with no extra lands is forbidden from playing every land, while the refreshed parse artifact marks Ward of Bones supported. Suggested fix: model the land sentence with the same per-affected-player relative-count condition, extend the CantPlayLand query seam to evaluate that condition against context.player_id, and prove both blocked and allowed land plays through handle_play_land.
🟡 Non-blocking
[MED] The production regression never proves the enchantment restriction can block a cast. Evidence: ward_of_bones_relative_count_cast_prohibition.rs:86-112 proves only that an enchantment is allowed when the creature count is higher, while :120-154 exercises only creature and artifact blocks. Why it matters: a broken enchantment static/filter can pass both runtime tests despite the parser-shape assertion. Suggested fix: add a more-enchantments fixture that proves an enchantment cast is blocked while creature and artifact spells remain castable.
✅ Clean
The revised first-line parser correctly replaces the earlier shared creature-count Or restriction with independently gated creature, artifact, and enchantment CantBeCast statics, and the added integration module is registered in tests/integration/main.rs.
Recommendation: request changes. Please implement the land clause at the player-scoped CantPlayLand enforcement seam and add the discriminating enchantment runtime case; then request a fresh review on the new head.
…ent-block proof
Addresses the review on top of the per-type cast model.
[HIGH] "Each opponent who controls more lands than you can't play lands" was
parsed as an UNCONDITIONAL opponent lock (dispatch.rs's generic "can't play
lands" catch dropped the relative-count predicate). Now
`parse_per_player_conditional_prohibition` claims it first (dispatch.rs:742,
before the generic block): a generic "controls more <type> than you" condition
arm + a "play lands" verb branch emit `StaticMode::Other("CantPlayLand")`
carrying `per_player_condition` (QuantityComparison ObjectCount(Land, ScopedPlayer)
GT ObjectCount(Land, You)) and `affected = Opponent` (built from the opponent
scope directly — `parse_player_scope_filter` would mis-scope "...you can't..."
to You). The runtime CantPlayLand seam (`check_static_other_by_name`) now
evaluates `per_player_condition` against the land-player, mirroring
`check_static_ability`. Plain unconditional "You/Players/Each opponent can't play
lands" cards still decline to the generic path (regression-tested).
CR 305.1/305.2 + CR 109.5 + CR 115.10.
Runtime coverage: new `ward_of_bones_relative_count_land_prohibition.rs` drives
`GameAction::PlayLand` -> `handle_play_land`, proving an opponent with MORE lands
is blocked while equal / fewer-land opponents are allowed (GT strictness).
[MED] Added an enchantment-BLOCKED cast fixture (more enchantments -> enchantment
spell blocked, creature/artifact still castable) to the existing cast test.
Verified: restriction parser tests 16/16, ward integration 6/6, clippy
`-p engine --all-targets --features proptest -- -D warnings` clean, fmt clean,
Gate A/G pass.

Request changes — the new conditional land prohibition still treats a teammate as an opponent in Two-Headed Giant.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] Scope CantPlayLand through the engine's team-aware opponent predicate. The new land definition stores affected = TypedFilter { controller: Opponent } in crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/restriction.rs:990-994, but the player-context branch that consumes it in crates/engine/src/game/static_abilities.rs:1884-1888 implements Opponent as source_controller != player_id. In a 2HG state, P0 and P1 are teammates but unequal; the PR's Ward of Bones controlled by P0 will therefore forbid P1 from playing a land whenever P1 controls more lands than P0. The repository already codifies the correct distinction in game::players::is_opponent and the team-aware player_matches_target_filter_in_state tests (game/filter.rs:6028+).
Why it matters: Ward says each opponent, so its controller's teammate must remain allowed to play lands. The current tests cover only a two-player game and cannot distinguish this failure. Reuse the existing team-aware player-filter authority at the StaticMode::Other player query seam (rather than an inequality special case), and add a four-player 2HG regression: P0 controls Ward, teammate P1 controls more lands and may play; opposing P2 with the same count is blocked.
The three independent cast restrictions, the conditional land predicate in a two-player game, and the current parse-diff (one card, expected signatures) are otherwise clean. No direct builds were run.
Addresses the 2HG blocker: `static_filter_matches`'s `ControllerRef::Opponent`
arm implemented "opponent" as the naive `source_controller != player_id`
inequality, so in Two-Headed Giant a teammate (different id, same team) was
wrongly treated as an opponent — Ward of Bones controlled by P0 would forbid
teammate P1 from playing lands when P1 controls more lands than P0. Ward says
"each opponent", so the controller's teammate must stay allowed.
Route the arm through the engine's existing team-aware authority
`game::players::is_opponent(state, sc, player_id)` (the same predicate the
adjacent hexproof/protection seams already use). In IndividualSeats topology
(all 2-player and FFA formats) is_opponent reduces to `!=`, so 1v1/FFA behavior
is byte-identical; only team formats change — and there they become correct.
This fixes every Other-mode static carrying an Opponent filter in team formats.
CR 102.2 / CR 102.3.
New 4-player 2HG regression: teams A={P0,P1}, B={P2,P3}; P0 controls Ward with
2 lands, teammate P1 and opponent P2 both control 4. Teammate P1 CAN play a land
(fails under the old inequality — confirmed by revert-probe); true opponent P2
is blocked; Ward's controller P0 can play. Existing 2-player ward tests + the 37
game::static_abilities lib tests are unchanged.

Request changes — the land path is now 2HG-aware, but Ward of Bones’s new cast prohibitions still treat its controller’s teammate as an opponent.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] Team-aware scope is not used by CantBeCast. parse_relative_count_typed_cast_prohibitions emits StaticMode::CantBeCast { who: ProhibitionScope::Opponents } for each Ward type (restriction.rs:1093-1101). The production cast gate calls casting_prohibition_scope_matches (casting.rs:18193-18200), which delegates to prohibition_scope_matches_player; its Opponents arm is still player != source_obj.controller (static_abilities.rs:395-407). In 2HG that makes P0’s teammate P1 an opponent, so P1 is incorrectly barred from casting whenever the relative-count condition holds. CR 102.3 defines opponents in team games as players not on the same team.
Please route ProhibitionScope::Opponents through the existing game::players::is_opponent authority (as this PR already does for the land-filter path), and add a four-player 2HG production-path cast test: the teammate remains able to cast while a true opposing player with the same qualifying count is blocked. The current cast tests cover only P0/P1, while the new land tests cover the team case.
The independent per-type parsing and the one-card full parse-diff are otherwise well scoped.
Ward of Bones's three relative-count cast prohibitions emit
`StaticMode::CantBeCast { who: ProhibitionScope::Opponents }`, enforced
via `prohibition_scope_matches_player`, whose `Opponents` arm was the
naive `player != source_obj.controller`. In Two-Headed Giant this
wrongly barred the controller's *teammate* from casting.
Route the arm through the team-aware `game::players::is_opponent`
authority (CR 102.2 / CR 102.3), mirroring the affected-filter fix this
PR already made for the land path in `static_filter_matches`. In the
2-player / FFA `IndividualSeats` topology `is_opponent` reduces to `!=`,
so all non-team-game behavior is byte-identical.
Adds a four-player 2HG cast regression: the controller's teammate (more
creatures than the controller) can still cast a creature spell while a
true opposing player with the same qualifying count is blocked.

🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] The required parser coverage diff is still baseline-pending for this head. Evidence: the current sticky comment is stamped Baseline pending for the branch base, and the prescribed update-branch handler action was rejected by GitHub because this OAuth credential lacks workflow scope. Why it matters: Ward of Bones changes shared parser and cast-prohibition behavior; approval without a current card-level diff would leave parser blast radius unverified. Suggested fix: refresh the branch with a credential permitted to update the PR, let CI publish the current-head parse-diff, then request the final review.
✅ Clean
The new cast-side Two-Headed Giant correction is at game/static_abilities.rs:395's shared prohibition_scope_matches_player authority and the integration test discriminates teammate from true opponent.

Approved after current-head review: the fresh parse-diff is limited to Ward of Bones, and the per-type plus 1v1/Two-Headed Giant runtime regressions retain the required type and opponent-scope discrimination.
Adds the one case the existing per-type cast-prohibition suite (from phase-rs#6095) never probes: P1 controls the SAME number of creatures as P0 (not strictly more). CR 109.4's "more than" is Comparator::GT (strict); this guards against a silent regression to GE, which would wrongly block casts on a tie. Addresses the runtime-proof gap flagged in the (now-stale, commit fb19028) review on PR phase-rs#6078 — the collapsed single-static approach that review criticized was already replaced by phase-rs#6095's per-type CantBeCast statics + integration tests during conflict resolution; this closes the one boundary case those tests didn't yet cover.

Each opponent who controls more creatures than you can't cast creature spells. The same is true for artifacts and enchantments.— parsed toEffect::Unimplemented; the card's cast-prohibition did nothing.parse_per_player_conditional_prohibition(restriction.rs) modeled only a fixed 3-armalt()of turn-activity per-player predicates (Angelic Arbiter's "attacked/cast a spell this turn"), so a relative permanent-count predicate ("controls more creatures than you") fell through, and its verb arm handled only the bare "cast spells" (no spell-type filter, no "same is true" widening).This extends that single handler with the two arms the issue specifies — built entirely from already-wired primitives, no new variant, no new evaluator, no runtime change.
