card count for game

Postby MasterXploder7 » 04 Feb 2014, 00:43

out of curiosity does anyone know if the game can support multiples of a card, like. ive noticed no deck is made with more than 4 copies of a card, except for the few that can, because sealed play was built into it is it possible to build a deck with multiples say 10 doomed necromancers? or will it crash? im simply using doomed necromancer as an example, it could be 24 black lotus cards with 36 (3) cost for all i care. but is it possible in general without conflicting with the games programming and saying "you tried this according to the rules you automatically loose,"?

The game doesn't check if the decks you make are rule compliant so yes, you can make a deck with say 24 Black Lotus and 36 Pack Rats.

As stated the game engine doesn't care how many copies of any given card you put in (24x Black Lotus & 36x Pack Rat). However, the reason you don't see people putting out decks with more than 4 copies of a card is due to MtG rules (not DotP engine rules). MtG rules state that for standard deck building you are only allowed up to 4 copies of any single card unless the card states that you may have any number of copies (like Relentless Rats). This rule is not used for certain types of deck building (Drafts, Sealed Deck, etc...). So if you get 5 or more copies of a card you want to use in Sealed Deck mode feel free to use them. If you are building a deck using my Deck Builder then you are probably building a standard deck and you should probably self-limit to no more than 4 copies of any given card.
