Not to rain on the parade, because this Sim can be good, but currently it is pretty useless without the print runs.

This Sim is for practice and without the print runs, you are going to be in drafting situations that will never occur and therefore actually gives the user a disadvantage for practice.

the simulator first picks the rare in every scars pack so far... bad rares are getting first picked when there's a skinrender in the pack

You're right...I've toned down the modifier for taking rares. However, it will still be taking rares quite often since their ratings are so good. Also, if you look at the rares in SoM, most are pretty powerful in limited.

This is known, but print runs are hard to figure out these days (even if you can see the uncut sheet) but its still fun to play with. Yes you get weird packs that have 9 red cards in them and no black but its still a fun tool to play with.

It looks like the site is down!?!
Did wizards really kill it?
This thing was 10 times better than the crappy one on wotc.com page.
Any hopes of it coming back?

No, they didn't offer to buy the site or to hire my unemployed ass...although I've often wondered if I could implement mtgo w/ html and ajax...rules enforcement would be a bitch...from my understanding wizards' next mtgo version is going to be outsourced and made in silverlight, which sounds like a lousy idea to me, but wutever...

Certain people have an advantage?
Like people with internet versus people without
Its such a crock.
Sorry man!
There has to be a loophole or a way around this.

I can't imagine any reason why you should shut your site down. I'm pretty sure you could just ignore their threats and post the lawyer's email.

Companies have been doing this kind of thing on the internet for decades now where they send letters to everyone demanding them to take down content and they always say "you can't post this email anywhere because it's confidential" which is pretty much a lie. If someone sends you an email, you can do whatever you want with it.

I'm not a legal expert of course but I'm just saying I've seen this before many many times and people over at sites like somethingawful.com, cracked, newgrounds, zug etc routinely posted such emails to make fun of the companies who threatened them.

My guess is they have no legal recourse and are just banking on the fact that you'll be scared into shutting it down.

Oh well, still have http://draft.bestiaire.org/index.php

I agree. What the hell Wizards ? They don't crack down on any one who has a D&D sites or hyper text sites but they get their collective pants in a bunch over draft sims ?

We're back. I've added Master's Edition 4 (ME4) and reset the Scars of Mirrodin ratings since they were kinda broken.

Great! What'd you do to be allowed to come back, though?

In IE 8, I can't get the java popup to let me add the land after I tell it what I'd like. It says "error on page."

Glad you're back

edit: it worked the next time I drafted.

Hmm...I can't replicate this problem. It could possibly be related to a specific card that has some bad info in it. If you get this again, could you please post the line with the source code that is giving the error? In the meantime, I recommend using any browser besides IE, as it is slow, buggy and less secure.

Thank you very much for the feedback, error reports help a lot

Nice, was just looking for a site to practice drafting ME4.

Question though, I had a number of packs passed to me that had 2 Urza lands. I've drafted a bit online and watched a number of videos and don't recall anyone getting multiple urza lands in a pack. There is, or should be only one I believe per pack.
