Draftin' MTG Draft Simulator BETA 3
Draftin' has entered its third beta release! I would like to take a moment to thank all of the Beta users who participated in Beta 2, you all have been a huge help in finding issues with Draftin' that I did not find myself. In Beta 2, you guys/gals uncovered an array of bugs which have been patched, along with usability issues around user interaction and menu/GUI simplicity which have been fixed/updated.
Anyway, I have been taking a more community oriented approach to Draftin's continued development. Basically, I am letting the users give large input as to what they would like to see in Draftin', and I have been prioritizing development based on that input. Beta 3 is entirely community driven, consisting of all the most reported issues/bugs. Hopefully Beta 3 brings a much more well rounded and bug free drafting experience!
#### Beta 3 contains the following updates
- Add flashing tab on various events throughout Draftin' if user is on another web page/tab.
- Play audible sound on various events throughout Draftin' if user is on another web page/tab.
- Fix UI issues in My Cards section where card rows are out of sync.
- Make user profile display users cards. If you ever leave a draft/the coordinator deleted the draft, you can now retrieve your last drafts cards from your profile.
- Greatly improved Set selection UI.
- Fix server error when users try to join the same draft twice.
- Fixed issues with kicking users from a draft.
Anyway, that's all for Beta 3. I am calling this update a usability update as it touches on the main issues you all found in Draftin'. I hope everybody enjoys the updates and continues to help push this little MTG draft simulator towards dev complete!
If you like this tool or have suggestions then feel free to leave them here. :)

- ginko 13y agoCan anyone explain what "drafting" is? It's apparently not playing the game itself.

- archgoon 13y agoDrafting is a form of Magic the Gathering play where you start at a table with other players. Each player recieves 3 booster packs. One pack is opened, and each player selects one card from it, and passes it to the left. Once each pack has been exhausted, the next pack is opened. In this way a deck is constructed for play for the night.
- minimaxir 13y agoDrafting (Limited) is often more competitive than playing typical MtG with pre-made decks (Constructed) In fact, drafting has become so popular that the next MtG expansion has a card that's only playable while drafting: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1430 http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/dai...
