I think it's more of a discussion of "what kind of cards work as 3-color cube cards".

Right. Theoretically you would just have a site online people could draft at, then could hop on and battle it out between decks whenever they like.

Basically, I wrote a function to update the bag and create packs. Did the above listed method, and took the red card every time, then after 13 picks got a mono-red pack. It's a very naive approach: I don't remove cards from the pool when they are drafted, and there are no guidelines for certain...

Code output below, very rough first cut:

Yeah, may be useful eventually. For now I was thinking about how to handle color distribution with a weighting scheme. First idea: something Bayesian. Simple approach: imagine you have a bag with 2 tokens for each color (2 red, 2 green, etc.). Whenever you put a card in a pack, you select...

Yeah, I mean, my first take was going to be in R (because that's what I know), using just a subset of my cube as a test bed. I am positive it would be time consuming to implement (annotating the cards, weighting parameters, etc.), which I'm find with, as long as the potential end product isn't...

Kinda sorta serious though....

Yes, that could be one application. The idea in my head is to have a big card pool (1000+ cards) that is largely unstructured, and let random chance / player choice dictate how they want to navigate through that pool.

Yeah, you would play against other people who had solo drafted.

I've never played Hearthstone, but somehow it's entered my brain that they have a solo drafting format. I was thinking about creating something like that for MTG. Currently it would just be in super prototype phase, but could develop from there. Basic ideas: X packs each containing Y cards...

I would be all about an MTG that was exclusively digital, developed from scratch, abandoning the baggage of a 20+ year old rule set, and streamlined. I'm not really a Hearthstone fan, but it's done a lot correctly. I know Rosewater has tons of thoughts about how he would design Magic if he could...

Tear it down and rebuild it. I like competitive card games, but loathe competitive MTG events.

I've literally heard nothing about this game since the kickstarter.

I dunno, I love me some threads dedicated to a single archetype, but more than happy to leave this one up and open.

Regarding formats, Kirb and I were talking. Proposed format (subject to input): each player plays two Bo5s against each opposing deck. Match count is what matters, not game count. In the event of a tie, either: a) nominate a deck to play a deciding Bo3 b) shove the card pools together, build a...

I've been begging for a Courser this whole time, and Treasure Cruise, but it's pitting me against Library and Temporal Mastery.... isn't Time Walk a total bomb in PW decks?

I have strong opinions about what safra should take here.
