I would like to see a small change to the algorithm that determines a deck's colors in the various lists of decks. Currently, a mono-Red deck with Rakdos Cackler, Frostburn Weird, Burning-Tree Emissary and Boros Reckoner is displayed as a five-color deck. This approach leads to an incredible number of false positives. A better solution would be to simply ignore hybrid mana symbols. While this could in theory still lead to incorrect results, it would be far, far less than the current approach.

Another feature (but probably trickier to implement) would be something to compare two decks and tell you all formats they've been legal together and when

Forge auto-tapped my Yavimaya Hollow for mana even though I had a million other lands. That wasn't nice.

Forge auto-tapped my Mana Vault even though I had a Cloudpost that could tap for 3. That wasn't nice either.

In constructed mode you can see hown an AI versus AI match plays out.
Would it be possible to simulate 100 games in one run? (no visuals, no actions required)
It would be a great testing tool.

a couple things i'd like to see . . .

I'd like to be able to save the name of the AI for quick "constructed" mode games so it is the same every time I open up the program.
I'd like to be able to restrict game play to Pauper (and more specifically, Peasant) formats.

Just getting used to Forge.
I'd like it if I was given the opportunity to do things after declaring blockers. I declared a blocker that could activate for deathtouch, and was horrified to find it never gave me a chance to activate it.
I've been finding the UI a little unintuitive as to what is going on and how/when I can respond to things. For instance, I played a Jeskai Barricade, and I had to declare a target for it's bounce ability before being allowed to not use that ability. Very confusing.
I'd like an undo feature, as well (if there IS one, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it).
As a side note, some of the Keybindings are also unintuitive. Like, when I press escape; I'm expecting a menu to come up, not for it to pass the turn.
And for creatures with regenerate, I've been unable to figure out how to activate it. It would be nice if I was prompted to egenerate a creature before it would be destroyed, if it has regenerate.

Each of the zone indicators are red or green. If they are red you will auto-pass during them, if they are green they will allow you to activate spells/abilities. If you happen to be color blind, please check out our different themes for one that works better for you. Clicking on the indicator toggles it. Forge has some defaults for auto-skipping.Darkholme wrote:I'd like it if I was given the opportunity to do things after declaring blockers.

This is actually how Magic works. Targets are chosen before triggers can go on the stack. You can choose not to use the trigger as it resolves.Darkholme wrote:For instance, I played a Jeskai Barricade, and I had to declare a target for it's bounce ability before being allowed to not use that ability.

Really!
I figured if I was choosing not to use the trigger, I would not need to choose a target.
As for the indicators, I had no idea it was auto-skipping them. Now that I know what they are, I've set them all to green, and will set things to red as I determine I can skip them.

A common misconception, and Forge used to work that way for simplicity's sake. It makes Frost Walker a little bit more fragile if you aren't careful with your triggers.Darkholme wrote:Really!

It would be great if you could play other format like Commander and Tiny leader in Quest mode

It would be nice if mousing over the player portrait showed information about the player in Card Detail panel.
Things like:
Any abilities (shroud, hexproof, protection)
Starting life total and maximum hand size
His commander, if any
Also, the display of mana pool seems to have an old alphabetical color order (black-blue-green-red-white). Wouldn't it be better to rearrange the mana to standard WUBRG order? Perhaps with colorless mana as first option, not last (since generic mana shows first in mana costs).
Current layout:
Black Blue
Green Red
White Colorless
Suggested layout:
Colorless White
Blue Black
Red Green

Maybe I'm blind but I don't see the option to load a Commander Deck unless it's saved as .dck file, clicking on the name don't open the Editor

What if Quest Mode had "Goal" decks? Decks that could be defined ahead of time, even when you don't have the cards, that you could build towards and then "unlock" them for use.
For example, if I'm playing a Standard-restricted Quest Mode, I could define an Abzan Midrange deck I want to eventually have. My initial set of cards might give me 40 out of the 75. After playing for a while, buying and winning cards or boosters, I'll eventually get to 75/75 and be able to use it. And then I could start working on building the Jeskai Tokens decks and eventually "unlock" that to play.
Of course, I can be doing that in my head as-is, and just build the deck once I have the cards in Quest Mode, but this can give players goals to work towards. With set unlocks, I could even define decks I can't build with my initial sets, but then choose sets to unlock that will let me build those decks, giving even bigger goals.
This could also make use of the Net Decks feature to choose decks to build towards, though I haven't actually used that feature, so I'm not sure.
