Class ForceDeathPhaseSpell

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, HasDesc<SpellDesc>

public class ForceDeathPhaseSpell extends Spell
At the moment this spell is invoked, the sequence is ended and dead entities are cleaned up from the board, triggering deathrattles.

Ordinarily, "death phase" (the end of a sequence) is only run at the end of all of a GameAction effects.

This can help implement effects that "merge" minions into new ones. For example, to implement the text, "Destroy all enemy minions. Summon a treant for each minion destroyed.":

   {
     "class": "MetaSpell",
     "value": {
       "class": "EntityCountValueProvider",
       "target": "ENEMY_MINIONS"
     },
     "spells": [
      {
        "class": "DestroySpell",
        "target": "ENEMY_MINIONS"
      },
      {
        "class": "ForceDeathPhaseSpell"
      },
      {
        "class": "SummonSpell",
        "card": "token_treant",
        "targetPlayer": "OPPONENT",
        "value": {
          "class": "GameValueProvider",
          "gameValue": "SPELL_VALUE"
        }
      }
     ]
   }

      protected void onCast(GameContext context, Player player, SpellDesc desc, Entity source, Entity target)
      Description copied from class: Spell
      Implementations of onCast are the meat-and-bones of a spell's effects. This should actually call a variety of methods in GameLogic, generate cards using SpellUtils.getCards(GameContext, Player, Entity, Entity, SpellDesc), interpret SpellArg keys in the desc, etc.

      Observe that subclasses of Spell mostly just need to implement this function. Also, observe that instances of Spell are stateless: all the state is provided as arguments to this function.

      Specified by:
      onCast in class Spell
      Parameters:
      context - The game context
      player - The casting player
      desc - The collection of SpellArg keys and values that are interpreted by the implementation of this function to actually cause effects in a game
      source - The entity from which this effect is happening (typically a card or a minion if it's a battlecry).
      target - The particular target of this invocation of the spell. When a spell hits multiple targets, like an AoE damage effect, this method is called once for each target in the list of targets.
