Card played face down by AI is revealed when popup shown via stack

@melvinzhang, what is the best way to determine if MagicCardOnStack is face down?

[melvinzhang]

@lodici there wasn't a good way to do it, so I made some modifications. For face down spells, cardOnStack.getCardDefinition() will return the Morph card definition instead of the actual card. To get the actual card definition, call cardOnStack.getSource().getCardDefinition()

That is certainly better than it is now, it shows the morph image although for both players. It seems to me that if MagicCardOnStack can be face down then it would be more logical and consistent if it has an isFaceDown() property similar to MagicPermanent (ie. it has a state that can be checked).

Will this update work for all other cases where the popup image should not show the main image? For example, manifest, double-sided, etc. I would find it very helpful if we could compile a definitive list of scenarios where this can happen.

Added isFaceDown to MagicCardOnStack

Changed to show the true card for human player. Not sure what you mean by other cases, from what I know, spells can only be face down when cast via the Morph ability. Manifest does not cast the spell, it just takes it from the library and put it on the battlefield face-down, double-faced cards are always cast from the normal face.

Thanks for the updates - it now behaves as expected. I was not sure whether there might be other circumstances other than morph where this issue might occur again. If it only affects morph then all bases appear to have been covered, thanks again for the clarification.
