New Deck Generator
by digitalcollector2 » 31 May 2019, 00:21
I was thinking about those deck generators Forge has. They are very good but most decks lack some coherence (mostly by card frame and plane(story-wise)).
It would be nice to have a deck generator based on sets.
So choosing Legions you whould automaticaly get a deck with cards from Onslaught, Legions and Scourge.
Or by choosing Mirrodin you would get a deck containing cards from Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Scars of Mirrodin, New Phyrexia and Mirrodin Besieged.
A second thought is having keyword themed generated decks. So we can get decks with exalted, dredge, haste etc...
My third thought is mechanic themed generated decks. Players can choose to generate aggro, ramp, time, counterspell, control, tron, milling and other broad categories of decks.
The downside of my proposition is probably the big amount of restriction someone has to apply for the generated deck.
Let's say a player chooses to go with a deck from Lorwyn.
First restriction option: Go with the basic set or all expansions ?
Second restriction options: What colors should the deck contain ? (there are more than 15 combinations !)
Third restriction options: Make use of atifacts or not ?
Let's say a player chooses to go with a deck with exalted.
There are only 33 cards with exalted. So it's hard (computationaly) to build a working deck out of cards with exalted without salting it with other cards.
First restriction option: What keywords do you want to use ?
Second restriction options: What colors should the deck contain ?
Let's say a player chooses to go with an aggro deck.
First restriction option: What colors should the deck contain ?
Second restriction options: Make use of atifacts or not ?
All these restrictions make life easier for the programmer but currently the UI is not designed for so many options.
What do you think ?
