Is there anyone up for some draft-practice? Using the draft thing from TappedOut.net and playtesting on UnTap.in to pseudo-draft, and ideally some deck/pick discussion afterwards.
Why I'm asking: Personally I'm noticing I'm doing fairly bad at drafting and I want to improve, but it's a bit expensive to draft where I live (roughly $26 for each time) compared to how much I'm winning/gaining in card value, so I need to practice a bit online to improve my skills without going bankrupt. I've played for a while (roughly 2 years), but I'm noticing that people who have played significantly less are beating me, causing me to rarely go home with prizes aside from random FNM card give-outs. This kind of practice is good for both new as it allows people to get more experienced at drafting, but also more experienced drafters who want to fine-adjust picks etc.
The drafting will be a 30-sec per card, with pick time refreshed for every new pack and will be a JOU/BNG/THS draft.
Not sure if I'm using tags correctly/posting in correct forum (but it's my best guess).
Hi!
I suggest you try cockatrice, if you didn't yet.
You can use it for practicing drafts, for free. The only thing that may be considered a downside, however, is that you usually get to play 1 game, or sometimes 2. As most people don't usually wait much after finishing their 1st game, and leave.
Join a draft room. When there are 8 people, someone will provide a link to the draft site. The you draft there, save your decks, and go play. If you have doubts, there are always helpful people on the chat.
Where can I find the draft rooms? Are they on Cockatrice or Wooger? Or somewhere else? (I'm going to admit to having very little clue about this. My experience with Cockatrice is making decks with it, and playtesting solo about 1 year ago)
Go to http://www.woogerworks.com/ and download cockatrice.
There, you will also find information on the server address and port to connect.
Some rooms may require that you are a registered user, in order to join. And with the default room filter, you won't see rooms you cannot join.
For registration, click on the "Account Registration" link (under "Cockatrice Menu"), on that same woogerworks page.
I hope that helps.
Thank you very much, you've been very helpful. I'm going to proceed trying to find out drafting etc from within the server. Thanks to Zoomzilla as well for answering my questions/tipping about the site.
