The real deal here is to find a (nice) way to show and pick multiple cards pile ... If anybody has resources on other websites (even not about magic) that offer this kind of UX I would happy to check it!

I have this implemented in 2016 on my old GitHub account, this commit could help you out.

That said, I'm working on 2-player formats right now and I'm implementing Glimpse Draft as a superior and more skill-testing 2-player format.

Next up I'll implement a Grid Draft as the second best 2-player format, have no plans on implementing Winston Draft right now.

Hi @serokellcao, thanks for the information.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you make a PR of this feature back in 2016?

I'll study your commit and see how I can make a PR !

@HerveH44 I was pretty sure that

  1. It was adding but a marginal value to draft.
  2. It would have gotten refused because, even though the algorithm was OK, everything around it was most likely garbage. I never touched server-side JS back then, prior to making those commits :)
