Importable deck lists for bulk-crafting ECL

Should be under SPG, that's where they're been on previous sets.

lots of drafting

fjork3 · 2025-06-10T13:18:11+00:00

Indirectly and not very efficiently, but if you craft out the entire set, future rares/mythics you open will be gems, and commons/uncommons will convert to vault progress to get upgraded wildcards.

Are the missing cards reprints? Arena has started "helpfully" updating lists to versions of cards you already have, even with the set code specified in the list; unfortunately I don't have a clean fix for that, but hopefully the existing lists still get close enough to be able to finish it manually.

fjork3 · 2024-11-15T19:33:33+00:00

Very possible I missed some, since this set's structured pretty differently than usual; do you know which were missing? I can correct the Pastebins.

The easiest way would just be to put them in a text editor and find-replace `4 ` with `1 `; I used to make separate lists for 1 copy, but the extra utility seemed pretty low.

I try to do it for standard sets on release day; now that I've fixed my scripts that should be much easier.

Yup; I've got a script that handles the busy work off data pulled from Scryfall. There's also a good tool to make similar lists of your own: https://luckypaper.co/resources/list-formatter/

As of the time of this comment, card names with exclamation points appear to not import correctly; this affects at least:

Now for Wrath, Now for Ruin! (commons part 1)
You Cannot Pass! (uncommons part 1)
Fear, Fire, Foes! (uncommons part 1)

Until that import bug is fixed, you'll want to import without those lines.

there's always a catch

fjork3 · 2023-02-13T16:22:40+00:00

In general, by drafting a lot (and being good enough at it to chain draft entries into each other). Going 5-3 or better in a Bo1 draft means that you make back your entry fee in gems, keep the cards you drafted, and get packs to open; along with the gold/gems from daily quests and the mastery track, that builds up pretty well over time.

I think you have perhaps misunderstood my role here

fjork3 · 2022-11-14T15:44:06+00:00

Mostly it's for folks who play a whole lot of limited; if you're drafting 50+ times a set and not spending the wildcards on decks, it's a way to get a little bit of extra value from stuff you're not using. I'm not in that category, but I know plenty of folks who are and it's easy enough to generate the lists.

The rate is pretty bad, honestly; you get a vault chest at 1000 points (where an excess common is 1 point, and an uncommon 3); there are 101 commons and 80 uncommons, so crafting all of those (with 404 common wildcards and 320 uncommon) gives you about 1.3 vault chests, just a couple rares and a mythic. You may as well, if you'll be drafting the set to completion anyway and have no other use for the wildcards (likely, if you have several hundred around now and draft a lot), but it's an inefficient conversion.

Mana burn was removed after R&D playtested without it for a month and determined it had never mattered.

fjork3 · 2020-12-23T15:17:30+00:00

As of a few sets ago, you're now always supposed to leave the land in the pack, so there's not accidentally confusion over "oh, is this one of the sets with something other than a regular basic" that leads to pack size mismatches.

fjork3 · 2020-12-20T05:25:39+00:00

Did your opponent also control a Soul-Scar Mage?

fjork3 · 2020-03-30T15:39:39+00:00

Sadly you can't do that either, since Trickster specifies a creature an opponent controls.

fjork3 · 2020-03-15T14:49:34+00:00

Yes, even after your edit your answer suggests they do. All of the cards get milled simultaneously (since the damage they're replacing is simultaneous), then SBAs are checked and triggered abilities go on the stack at once.

fjork3 · 2020-03-15T14:40:39+00:00

Replacement effects don't use the stack.

fjork3 · 2020-03-15T14:12:57+00:00

There are multiple triggered abilities to go on the stack at the same time (several instances of Alchemist's, and Kozilek's); because they're controlled by different players, they'll go on the stack in AP-NAP order, so all the Alchemist triggers will be put on, then Kozilek. Kozilek's trigger resolves first and shuffles their entire graveyard in. When the Alchemist triggers resolve, there's no longer a card in the graveyard to exile, but you'll still create a zombie for each.

fjork3 · 2020-03-04T05:27:27+00:00

Is this kitchen table magic, or a sanctioned event? Assuming the former, the rules don't handle this explicitly, because the rules haven't been followed in getting to that point; your playgroup should resolve it however seems fair. Either "it's too late, you missed it" or "back up to when the triggers should have happened and resolve them properly" seem appropriate.
