dr4ft VS Cockatrice

I ended up procrastinating all day yesterday and just did the whole alpha run of the body cube. I think the unfortunate truth is that you are best trying to play all of the Phyrexian creatures as Phyrexians, so if you draft this in a non-digital format (my friends and I do drafts on dr4ft.info and play on cockatrice) you probably need to take the time to double sleeve cards and put a reminder sticker on the inner sleeve for all those creatures that WotC has added Phyrexian onto. I'd also recommend drafting with seeded basic snowlands, but I think the snow package is big enough to function *okay* without it, though obviously if you just like snow do all snow basics and go crazy.

Fair enough, I mostly draft very casually using free digital tools (dr4ft and Cockatrice or Tabletop Simulator) with friends when new sets come out, so we're all learning the cards as we go, and assessing them and figuring out the set is part of the fun. Some people bring the draft cost down by just cashing out everything they get, but I haven't done that.

We use this all the time. https://dr4ft.info/

in housman drafts it's pretty easy since we're doing the draft in cockatrice, but for digital booster drafts we typically use https://dr4ft.info/ and for those i'm not really sure what the best way to handle it would be.

Playing online is another option. Multiplayer drafting is actively being worked on on Cube Cobra and there are a few other options including dr4ft.info that support importing a Cube list. Finding players can still take some work, but there are a couple discords in the reddit sideboard where you can look for people.

We usually draft online with dr4ft.info - another free tool. We draft and build the deck there, then import the decks into Cockatrice. dr4ft.info provides a file type specifically for cocaktrice.

https://dr4ft.info/, it also works well since you can build a deck there after you’re done and export to cockatrice.

https://dr4ft.info/ Is a great site my friends and I used during lockdown. Any set, upload any cube, decent bot drafts. Then we’d upload the deck to cockatrice and play.

With a covid lockdown still in effect where I live, I'm considering running an online cube draft with some friends while we wait for the next time we can draft and play in person. I've found dr4ft.info as a recommended site for the draft portion, but I can't figure out how to share the link to a private room on the site.

Check our Cockatrice.

I'd suggest going to any deck browsing site (like https://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pioneer/full#paper) and glancing at the top decks and seeing which one interests you. It's okay to post and ask questions about decks if you're not sure how one works (I personally struggled understanding how legacy control decks can seem to run 0 win conditions but also have no issues winning games for instance). When you find a deck you're interested in you can find a discord for that deck or make a post to ask questions and be sure you want to play it. There are also online tools to help you play for free with any deck like https://cockatrice.github.io/ and similar, so you can try the deck online if you'd like

Props for your resourcefulness, but you could just use Cockatrice, or XMage.

Go to https://cockatrice.github.io/ and download the software, installing it afterwards;

Cockatrice can do that, configured for magic by default if i remember correctly. Youll have to cough up image files for different card sets.

There is a client and a server, so not super easy, but not hard if you have any sysadmin experience. I had a server up for almost a year once

https://cockatrice.github.io/ - haven't used this too much myself but this one does have built in servers and decent controls

My favorite is Cockatrice even though you sound like a mostly in person seeking fellow. It is a web application that is like a card game simulator, it plays magic and can auto update to show you card images, doesn't cost a dime and theoretically could play other games like Android Netrunner if you really wanted to, downside is it sometimes changes domains if the authorities try and shut it down, but the last one https://cockatrice.github.io/ has been around a while. also no rules enforcement, but upside is play any format including some weirdness like "bring your own standard" from any era or tiny leaders, the all less than 3 mv commander played 1v1
