Sealed paper packs are not random. The cards are packed according to "(print) Runs". The runs are created to allow for a balanced drafting experience. They ensure that each pack has a certain balance of colors and power.

You can see some detailed information in this video: https://youtu.be/LnCyHJUGg7k which uses this data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AtO2LGrVxKqfhvZ01zwhBzkDj1XGRFOoj_i7mf5CRTI/edit#gid=1168895507

In that example, Kaladesh has 4 distinct common print runs. Packs of KLD will have 2-4 cards from Run A, 2 or 4 cards from Run B, and depending on how many cards from Run A, either 5-6 cards from Run C1 or 4 cards from C2.

I have not ascertained the frequency of the double-size Run B or the relative frequencies of C1 and C2.

Currently the foil insertion algorithm does not account for basic lands.

Basics also aren't assigned to the cards file, so if/when Basics are included, if they're actually inserted, they'll need to be put in cards.json by make/cards.js

It's a pretty fancy and useful tool to check changes within PR's live!
We should be all good with just the free plan, and it seamlessly integrates with GitHub.

@HerveH44 you had some concerns or additional requirements that would need to change before we could use it. Can you let us know here again, please?

Note: https://zeit.co/now could be an interesting alternative

Cube sealed requires a minimum cube list size, but the number of players in the event is unknown at the time of cube size verification.

(Just had a game where somebody left after he realized that the draft was to test the new set (tripple emn draft) instead of being a perfect styled emn-emn-soi draft. Draft got destroyed in last pack.)

In general a nice information and avoids problems.
It should be displayed inside the room, as well as outside.

It could be in a new box next to settings/players. Or as some kind of headline?
Could also be removed completely once the draft starts or when it finishes to get replaced by the lands box for example.

This information used to be around and got removed in your fork.

To stress, and further clarify this issue I'll attach two screenshots:

• view as room creator:
  

• view as joined player:
  

So as long as a player joins a draft over a link he has no clue what he actually joined, and what he is going to play. The host could fool around with them, or the player could easily end up in a scenario as mentioned above.
There should be a Game Information or Room Type/Settings panel for everybody. Instead a Start Game one only for the creator.

My suggestion is to change the name and content a bit (#22), make it available to all players and only display the Start Game button for the creator/admin of the room.

Linking #19 here as well.

'River Heralds' Boon' is correct, 'River Herald's Boon' is what I got when I downloaded a draft deck.

I'm wondering if dr4ft is compatible with the import functionality in MTGO?!
See: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/importing-and-creating-decks
Is there any format you can download from the draft site working as an import there?

Why? Deck building practice and e.g. sealed preparation is just so much worse on the draft site or within Cockatrice...
Missing a simple kitchen table style building experience as with real cards. Filtering/Sorting as a nice-to-have on top.

dr4ft is awesome! I just wanted to see if you could add an option for sealed decks to where you could choose either three packs or single packs for Magic leagues. Thanks!

Check there for former discussion and questions.

Clicking the button does nothing. reset lands works though.

Retested today with both Chrome and Firefox on dr4ft.com (Running Version 54e7908).
Same problem still persists for me.

Currently the card score database used for bot pick orders uses a couchdb located online. That couchdb is no longer being written to, so scores are currently static. The database should be moved to a local json file.

Relevant code section:
https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft/blob/master/src/make/score.js#L5-L13

This is just a list of similar services to keep track of them:

• http://draftsim.com/

Custom sets:

There is a lot of outdated and already fixed stuff hanging around at the former repositories.

I think if we clean them up and transition useful requests over to this one, everyone can benefit and we lower possible confusion for hosts and users.

I reopened (copied) already several of mine old requests and closed them in the old places.
Here are the ones we can still deal with...

If the old maintainers put a note+link to this repo at one point, that would be very helpful as well.

Would allow for epic fun events like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/5098lt/grand_prix_portland_36pack_chaos_sealed/

Or just any ordinary 6 pack chaos sealed...

Also, the chaos game mode we have right now should be named chaos draft

If you play a sealed game you get this:

The option should only be available for:

• Draft
• Cube Draft
• Chaos Draft

Maybe even don't collect data at all to not slow things down for no reason.

Copied over from old repo: arxanas/drafts.ninja#40

Public rooms miss some information:

• Format not named. It's called Format, but actually there are just used packs listed
  better go with Draft (EMN/EMN/SOI), Sealed (EMN/EMN/SOI/EMN/EMN/SOI), Chaos Draft, ..?
• no room age / creation time

Also Seats sounds a bit weird to me. Would Players be a better term? (I'm not a native speaker!)

• hide picks during draft
• review time in between packs

As option in comparison to mtgo like drafts with more time during picks, but without review time between packs.

This would allow for drafts like you're used to at your LGS at FNM or even big tournaments on international competitive level. Has to be an option for sure.

I sometimes miss the chat because I forget to check at all, or just don't check on a regular basis during a draft or a complex sealed pool building session.
You need as much space as possible for a nice building experience, so I end up hiding the chat... but also missing many (some important) messages!

I would like to see the Chat text flashing for example or some other visual notification of new messages. Especially when the chat window is hidden.

More modern and interactive Web Notifications are also a viable consideration.

Copied over from old repo: arxanas/drafts.ninja#33

Would be helpful to find opponents after draft or to check who is missing... or if all correct people are in the room etc.

See: https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft/blob/master/public/favicon.ico

It still lacks an important thing, in my opinion :
In order to install the app (before make run), one needs to launch make 'install'

By itself, make run will not launch the app :(

See #60 (comment)

Not needed in Sealed:

Make the default deck name something like:
gamemode_timestamp or date_localtimestamp_gamemode, not sure if other informatin like playercount would be too helpful

So a filename could look like: 2017-04-23_17-21_sealed.txt or 2017-04-23_draft_17-21.cod (with the timestamp at the end)

The idea is get a useful filename which you don't have to change all the time, which isn't overwriting other files and actually provides useful information!

Edit: Even more important... just realized that the name is also baked into the .cod file and therefore shows up if you load the deck file in the deck editor, plus it can't really be changed there by the ordinary user:

  <deckname>16-04-2017_3</deckname>

Currently the public/src/data.js file is manually curated. It should be generated automatically from data/sets.json

This will save one step when adding a set

Will need to bring in set type to set file

initial feature request: #11

This might be a help (a bit down the page)

Hi,

At work, I'm working a lot with docker. Actually, I've been thinking of a way to deploy easily at home multiple instances of dr4ft to check the different versions. So I wrote a simple Dockerfile to help testing the results between multiple branches. It could be interesting to have it on the root directory (then it just needs to run "docker build URL_OF_GIT#BRANCH" to build the image locally.

Would you be interested ? This looks like that at the moment :

FROM node:8.4.0

# Install "make" from build-essential
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y build-essential

# Add sources to /app 
ADD . /app/

# Set working dir as /app
WORKDIR /app

# Install the dependencies
# Make all install the cards
RUN npm install && make all

# Publish the port 1337
EXPOSE 1337

# By default, run the command make run
CMD make run

Let me know what you think,I'll put it as a pull request

Cheers,
Herve

Similar to the Messenger windows on the Facebook desktop site.

This might be possible with a clever use of the label tag to wrap the whole chat window. Otherwise probably just use Javascript.

Addition:
Since we don't support any kind of hotkeys in the interface of the page (there could actually be one to show/hide the chat for example!) normal text input could always go to the chat by default if possible.
(Or any other text field if actively selected, with fallback to chat again if clicked elsewhere)

When sorting for cmc the last card pile merges cards with cost of 6 and more mana.
The pile should tell you that it's summarizing cards --> rename 6 to 6/6+ or ≥6 👍

cmc=7 card in cmc=6 card pile



Here a better view of some mixed cmc cost cards in the same pile:

Copied over from old repo: arxanas/drafts.ninja#38

additional requirements:

• specify up to 12 boosters
• have more deck zones.
  maybe a tab for each of the 3 decks + sideboards and one shared junk zone.
• safe each deck individually + show all 3 hashes

---

Two-Headed Giant Sealed with 8 Packs to build 2 decks would be possible too then!


Addition:
To get a Team Draft working it would require to change the seat order of joined people (admin only).
It would also allow to practice with friends etc. where you want to have a special seat order or something.

The last part with Team Drafting should be covered by #23 and it's fix #33

Add cube list hash to draftcap for easier comparison.

Related to #3

Hi,

I've been trying to make a draft log from the app. I'll suggest a pull request, tell me if it's fine !

I tried, and it works with the site : http://magic.flooey.org
I contacted them, and they replied that my file is fine.

Let me know, what you think about it,

Herve

Draft

• 4 Pack Draft - Needed for dino-sized Drafts
• 6 Pack Draft - Needed for Two Headed Giant Draft (we would need to be able to pick two cards out of each pack to support that official format)

Sealed

• 1 Pack Sealed #47 - Needed for Magic League
• 3 Pack Sealed #47 - Needed for Magic League
• 4 Pack Sealed #12
• 8 Pack Sealed #41, #114 - Needed for Two Headed Giant Sealed
• 12 Pack Sealed #41, #114 - Needed for Team Sealed

I guess it would be best to have fully customizable packs for sealed and draft instead all this check boxes for different pre-configured pack counts
Also, because there is a lot of crazy stuff out there that we can't keep up with:

• 36-pack Chaos Sealed at GP Portland
• 12-pack 2HG Sealed at GP London
• Full Box 2HG Sealed at GP London
• ...

I highly like to see the back sites of Double-Faced-Cards in the preview window!

Otherwise you have no way to know about the back site in draft or during building of limited pools.
So this information is very critical, especially for new sets or cubes with older or less common cards.

It could look like this:

• normal DFC (transform, flip)
  
• special DFC (melt)
  
  Where the both halves actually show the combined melted card in normal card size.

Back sides should be displayed a bit transparent for all of them.

allsets.json from mtgjson holds useful information about the relevant cards.
In the "layout" key they are tagged with "meld" or "double faced" and have the names of the other sites/cards, in that object too.

Format: is actually "Packs", and format is missing at all.

Should be:

Format: Sealed
Packs: AKH / AKH / AKH / AKH / AKH / AKH

or

Format: Draft
Packs: FRF / KTK / KTK

chaos just shows "CHAOS!" as format - but it should say "Chaos (only Modern)" or "Chaos (all Sets)"
Chaos should also have the actual pack info:

Format: Chaos (only Modern)"
Packs: SOI / THS / AKH

During deck building it would be very handy to have some kind of card search to check e.g. how many deserts you have or if your trial is supported by enough cartouches etc. without going trough all cards in your color.
Would also help with analyzing for specific keywords (like cycle) to evaluate if special archetypes are worth playing and much more.

Depending on how this is implemented and how powerful it would be, it's a kinda big project. :)

Create a list of preset cubes such as the ones from MTGO and allow them to be easily loaded into the cube list.

A host should be able to swap the position of players before the draft starts (with little arrows for example).
This would allow for easier team drafts which have a fixed seating.
Also, when an external site/service requires a specific player order for example or there is any other reason you want to influence things (redo a draft with same order...) it would be nice to be more flexible.

Currently cube sealed is set to 90 cards and is not adjustable. This should be adjustable.

At least if you selected a card for autopick before.
For random autopick I didn't check.

Update: Seems to not happen consistantly!?

Let people pick the last card instead auto-adding it immediately.
Mostly it's a card that you rather put into your sideboard or junk.
Right now you have to search for it in between your other playables in main to move it again all the time.

The letter "û" gets saved as "u".

When you draft "Lim-Dûl's High Guard" it saves it as "Lim-Dul's High Guard".

This makes the art work not work properly in Cockatrice.

Instead only one allset.json data file.
Right now you have to combine and include all spoilers into the mtgjson data and create a new file with all data mixed.

I think it would be way better and cleaner to manage if we handle the mtgjson allset file and and any additional data (spoilers, other games, custom sets, ...) as separate files.
Allows to easily update without changing all data and recreating of a new big all-in-on file, smaller files in general, better overview, no merge of unrelated or approved/unconfirmed cards etc.pp.

Right now it's more of a single carpet of cards instead several piles:

Adding very few pixel space in between each would be nice.

The idea is taken from old repo and should serve as simple but productive fallback for problems with image loading for any reason: arxanas/drafts.ninja#35

Some ideas:

• have a fallback image or text like (W), (R) etc. if images can't get loaded
• add a tooltip to the image (which tells you the type of mana you're going to add, even if the image is not loading properly)

I guess a tooltip should display even if the picture isn't loading properly?

Something like the card preview for example.

You always need to scroll up to check the timer right now.

Happens several times now to me:
You mark a card for autopick while re-considering other cards. To skip to the next pack you still double click on the card selected for autopick. But since the timer went down and/or due to the server delay I end up immediately picking the next card at the same position from the following pack.
If you always see the time, that won't happen.

hi there
i set a local host of dr4fer, but i can not find the latest release XLN data, how could i get it .
another question how could i change the time setting of draft. i want double the time for it .

thank you very much

You correctly show the new repo name: drafters/dr4ft
But you link to the old one: tritoch/dr4ft
