Cube draft

[tchiseen]

I can't wait to try your new cube Juzam, perhaps you could message me your updates, and I could give them a try, maybe make notes or suggestions along the way?

I'd make my own cube but I'm too lazy to type 500 cards... hehe

New cube for folks to download, just copy these files to your Forge directory. Every card in this cube is playable by the AI. Enjoy!

The main Forge folder? Are you sure? It doesn't work for me.

After some trial and error, it works with the .dck file in \decks and the .draft file in \draft. Looks good!

[juzamjedi]

I thought I left my folder structure in the zip, but yes the .dck file goes in /res/decks and .draft file in /res/draft.

It's spitting an error for me on Spitemare, Magus of the Moon, Thawing Glaciers, Icequake

I removed those cards and it let me start drafting

I had no trouble running draft with those cards. I even drafted Spitemare.

Juzamjedi -
I feel like there are too many lands... like 3 or 4 of them show up per pack.

I thought that it might be nice to include this in the SVN.

Unfortunately, the .dck portion would not show up in Eclipse after a refresh.

Spitemare, Magus of the Moon, Icequake and Thawing Glaciers were new in the latest beta. Maybe you have an older version?

I can add it. How do we want to name it?

juzamjedi is the man behind this cube set, so I guess that we can include his name. It would be nice if this became a user sponsored and supported cube set. This gives non-coders a chance to contribute to the project.

Ultimately, this was to be a cube set containing cards that the AI can play. A name depicting this might be helpful.

I am sorry if I can not think of a really great name for this cube set.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

[friarsol]

Alright I'll commit as cube_juzamjedi. We can rename this later if it matters.

Your commit does not include the other half of the submission. There is supposed to be a .dck file to go along with the .draft file.

I am happy to maintain the cube, does not matter if you want to give it a different name. You could just call it Cube if you prefer.

Probably just a different version, I updated my Forge really recently before posting the cube list.

This is intentional. For comparison the cube I posted has 61 lands = 12.0% of cube, compared to Evan Erwin's cube which has 85 lands = 14.7%

Cube drafting is closer to constructed in some ways. We draft all these awesome cards, but we also want to be sure we can actually cast those spells. My list of lands is maybe a little light compared to some other cube lists (I don't have filter lands since the AI can't use them, etc,). 5 color control is one of the decks you can play in most cubes, and in fact against the AI in Forge it's a pretty good choice to draft that style of deck.

I see we have a pretty good number of downloads for the cube I posted. What do people think about it? Don't worry about beating up my ugly baby, I'm sure we could improve the cube list.

I think that you did a good job.

Granted, the cards that the computer can use effectively will change as time goes by.
