yes it rly does! good job man!

only thing missing at all is cropped pics functionality.

oh, also. what does the clipboard button do? copy deck to clip?

At the moment the clipboard doesn't do anything. In the future it will allow you to use a deck that's stored in the clipboard (say if you copy it from a website etc.). This means you don't have to save it to a file and then reopen it - just something to make the process easier.

Also, I've been trying to get it to read the card list directly from the Magic-League website (for sealed-minis), it's mostly working at the moment so I should be able to implement this feature in the near future.

I'm not sure if I can send information to the website though, so after you have built the deck you may still have to tell the ML deck builder which cards are in the deck etc.

Ixidor also had a great comment regarding building in a NetDraft-esq client - effectively allowing the programme to completely replace NetDraft (and in my opinion, a fully graphical interface is way better for drafting - particularly with all the new gold cards.

While I can build the client pretty easily - it's been a few years since I studied 'Computer Networks', so it may take a while before I can get communication between clients.

sweet

i thought of a few other features that would be cool in the program:
-snap to grid option (or auto) so the cards line up nice and neat when u move em around
-ya... drafting would b sweet. someone definitely needs to implement this type of deckbuilder into netdraft or something similar. visual drafting is also much nicer
-built in sealed deck generator? might be hard, idk
-paste from clipboard would b nice, i see you've got that one already tho

also, perhaps if it's easy, you could build a client for bot-drafting. you know, a tool that could be used to draft against 7 computer players for practice (maybe even a crude draft AI), then build the deck using UnLimited. from there it would be a small modification (albeit some networking) to go multiplayer online.

(example of solitaire drafting tool would be http://draft.bestiaire.org/)

i think something along those lines would make a LOT of magic-league users happy, myself included

thanks for the awesome program, keep up the good work, and keep us posted!

Nice. Would also be nice to be able to use my mouse wheel to scroll through the screens of cards instead of having to drag the scroll bar.

any progress being made on this? or is development on this program dead?

i would really love to see another release with some of the requested features.

either way, thanks to QuinRiva for a useful and well designed Limited Mtg program Smile
