General xMage - custom cubes

[Boromir of Borg]

While I generally tend to MTGO, not thinking it's as horrible as some do;
xMage which is a free way to play MTG with rules enforcement now added a feature where you can draft a custom cube of your making.

Make a deck that contains the contents of your cube, save it.
Create a new tournament, choose draft from deck and there you go.

Much easier then trading cards back and forth.

Is it easy to use?

 

[Boromir of Borg]

no harder then MTGO really, and it works cross platform for mac or windows. The competition is honestly not as good as mtgo, but then, if you use if for forum drafts, then that's not an issue.
There's a bit of polish that MTGO has I think, but it's worth trying out IMO

Has anyone worked on adding conspiracy and draft-matters support to xMage? How big a project would that be?

 

[Boromir of Borg]

Not a programmer, but I think the big problem with those cards is that they alter not the game, which is designed to have altering rulesets, but the draft which is built on being the same ruleset, regardless of the packs. Also, the amount of work is usually decided (by Wizards at least for MTGO) to not be worth it for the small number of cards that would benefit. I really wish they were available though.
