Title: Deck builder tweaks
Post by: Gorzo on October 08, 2012, 05:01:01 PM
A couple of things relating to the deck builder.

1) Right now some RTR cards are showing up in red (illegal) in some formats. I assume this will be fixed as the database is updated - its a brand new set, after all. However, planechase 2012 specific cards ({preyseizer dragon}, {dragonlair spider} for example) are still showing up as illegal in formats they are legal in such as commander.

2) as someone who loves to draw-test decks when bored, I would love to see a couple additions to the "sample draw" feature to enhance testing. Such as
- a "search library then shuffle" button. So I can keep testing through tutors and land fetches without having to "imagine" what's in my hand for real now.
- casting non permanents automatically buts them into the graveyard instead of having to select it manually
- some artifacts are showing up with land icons in the sample draw. These artifacts all seem to fetch land, so I don't know if this is intentional or not. {Wayfarer's Bauble}

Thanks!

A few other cool additions would be an exile symbol as well as a casting and graveyard symbol, and of course the ability to sample draw / play test against another deck built in deck builder / the ability to play wall games with it

Wall games would be awesome

Test drawing my deck is difficult in the feature due to the amount of tutors, land fetch spells and hideaway lands I use. Could it be adapted to accommodate this?

Play testing is hard because if Piotr makes anything which can substitute actually having the cards, WotC can crack down on him

Yes, since the infamous WotC vs. Community some areas of iMtG got hit pretty badly, probably too badly. The whole thing was just a very stupid thing to do, for WotC, me and the players. Normal big corporations just do that kind of stupidity on a daily basis, Dilbert is a true story.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. If I went to FNM, shuffled my deck, offered it up to be cut by my opponent and he pulls out his iPad to play against me, I'd punch him in his stupid face. Lol.

What if you have an iPad, as does your friend, and instead of buying expensive cards you use the iPads to play casually with him, not in a sanctioned event? Somewhat like cockatrice does?

The main function I would like to see is a put back in library button. I can get around tutor effects. But I can't really play test an {elixer of immortality}

That would be stealing. You know it's not cool, do you?

Buy old ipad, carefully empty the inside. Add styrofoam padding for storing cards.
My iPad IS my binder :O

Since when have magic players cared about being cool?

I wouldn't define myself as magic player.

Here's no place for it.
