Feature Request: More customization for Decadent draft

[Milldawg]

Detailed Description

Decadent draft is a cool idea, but right now you can only draft 36 packs of the same set, or use the RNG thing which is buggy and includes custom cards and whatnot with no way to control what packs can appear. I would like to see Decadent draft expanded in any or all of the following ways:

1. Allow each of the 36 (or however many) packs to have their set selected individually, the same way you can do it for Sealed.

2. Have a Random mode where the 36 packs are chosen randomly from a pool of different sets, but allow the user to specify the pool of sets from which the 36 packs can be drawn (e.g. no test or custom sets, only sets from specific formats or blocks, etc.) This could take the form of a list of all sets where the user highlights the sets they want to include and de-highlights the sets they want to exclude.

3. Add the "paste a cube list" functionality of Cube draft to Decadent draft, so you can Decadent draft a cube or other card list. (Or vice versa, add the "decadent draft" option to Cube draft mode.)

I recognize that these are very niche draft experiences so they're not likely to be high priority. But I will be delighted if any of these features get implemented one day! Thank you :)

About the 2 point: Can you open a separate issue please? That should not be the case and I assume user uploaded custom sets, cubes, other games, custom games, upload tests etc. (Which can be found on the very end of the set dropdown list) are all considered in random.

2. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Do you want a separate issue for "I would like to be able to specify a subset of sets for Random mode" to just split my lines 1 and 2 into two separate issues? Or are you asserting that "random mode includes all the weird test sets and custom sets and foreign sets" is a bug/issue that should have its own thread? Thanks.

Second. The random mode should not work like that as it makes no sense to mix various card games for example. Custom sets should definitely be excluded from random set selection...

@mixmix about this issue, about the 2nd point. Do you think you could come up with a way to create a multiple checkboxes choice for sets that could appear as random?

The whole idea looks a bit far fetched, I mean there must be hundreds of sets that are draftable. So it should also have a way to select all / unselect all.

I clearly don't know how to do it, but maybe you have at least an estimation on how hard / long it could be ?

[mixmix]

Easiest thing I can think is similar to Cockatrice set management

• a filter box which when you type eg "rav" it only shows you sets with that in name (or set code). People can then select that
• when you clear the filter you see all sets again

I guess some other checkboxes could exist like :

• exclude promo
• exclude comedy (unsets)

A simple version on this could be easyish? Just takes time.

I might change the general set selection picker for packs to something which I think will work well here. Stay tuned

3. Add the "paste a cube list" functionality of Cube draft to Decadent draft, so you can Decadent draft a cube or other card list. (Or vice versa, add the "decadent draft" option to Cube draft mode.)

That is covered in my suggestion to universalise game modes in https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft/issues/1029.
