Improvements to Spoiler sets

[tooomm]

Spoiler sets should be in their own category and not pre-selected in any situation. Personally I think they should not be present at all unless fully spoiled because there is no real use in playing a draft with them.

Does it make sense to drop all sets which have a smaller card count than their base or total set size? Or at least use that indication to place them in a spoiler group in the dropdown selection and prevent them from being pre-selected for new users?

@ZeldaZach could you set a field on MTGJson to indicate if a SET is still in "Spoiler" time or full? We could filter on it then and not show it on the list

I'll work on it. Open a ticket there

Reply from @ZeldaZach on closing the request at mtgjson:

Thought about it some more: In my opinion there is no real need for such a thing. The following query can detect if a set is fully released or not:

if releaseDate > NOW then spoiler is true

I'd recommend dr4ft to modify their code to accommodate for this

This is now availalbe in 4.5.0: "isPartialPreview to denote a set is in spoiler mode and may not be complete"

Reopening this again to raise attention to the still persistent issue of incomplete spoiler sets being part of the set selection. Did not open a new issue as there are already important information on that topic gathered here in context.

Currently, Strixhaven: School of Mages (STX) (with only 5 cards spoiled) is already available at dr4ft. 🙄

We should discard sets with isPartialPreview=true.
