dr4ft VS mage

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.

Dr4ft

Yeah, that surprised me too, given that https://github.com/magefree/mage is open source and pretty actively developed.

The project you want is http://xmage.today/

All cards available, and full rules engine.

My guess is that fully modeling MtG's rules in Datalog would take a lot more work, because MtG's rules are a lot more complex. Looking through the source for one of the freely-available game engines like https://github.com/magefree/mage would probably be more informative, though.

There's a draft every day, with events at different starting times to accommodate players from around the world, plus asynchronous side events including Rich Draft, Team Sealed, and Rotisserie Draft. We play on XMage which has full rules enforcement like MTGO but is 100% free software.

If you can tolerate some of its shortcomings, you can draft against bots on Xmage.

https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues is a more reliable place to report - this might not be a trivial fix

Update: My problem happened because the launcher had reverted to the non-beta xmage home address on its own. You probably have the same problem. You need to go to settings, set branch to custom, and the xmage home address to http://xmage.today/
