Hey there,

As an awesome supporter of Draftsim, I want to give you a chance to check out... a brand new version of the website! You can find it here: https://draftsim.com/beta/index.php 

We are still working out some of the bugs, so it's not ready for full public consumption. But I really would like to get your feedback on the design, especially if you have any suggestions for how you prefer to do deckbuilding on mobile devices.

Please check it out for 5 minutes and let me know what you think!

-Dan

Testing with the latest version of Firefox on desktop: When turning on the suggestions while drafting, the suggested card with the highest score doesn't really stand out. The orange highlight is visible, but doesn't catch your eye. I noticed that in chrome on my smartphone, the suggestiondetails are shown with every card, but in the desktop version it only shows when moused over. Also on the smartphone, the cards are quite big, so very few can be shown at the same time. The advantage is that you can still read the texts :) When drafting, it helps to be able to sort your picked cards by mana cost. To get a really good view on your mana curve, it is also useful to have several areas: a sideboard and a place to split creatures from non-creatures, so you can see which creature slots are filled or open in your mana curve, without the noncreature cards cluttering the view on the mana curve. Just a personal opinion and nice-to-have. Parts of this functionality is already present in the building part.

Great! Thanks for being so thorough. OK a few things: Suggestions - noted. The difference in mobile/desktop is actually intentional though. Different platforms needed different solutions. Cards too big on mobile - there is an option to switch the view between big and small. Do you think we need to make that button more obvious? It's in the lower left. Sort by CMC - good suggestion. Split creatures and non creatures - you mean like on Magic Online right? Thanks again for taking a look and giving so much feedback!

On Microsoft Edge, the label on the Suggest button is very large and very out of place. (But thankfully not obstructing anything.)

Wow the site looks extremely different on Edge! I'm pretty sure that we hadn't tested it on that :P I'll ask the developer to take a look, thanks for pointing that out.
