Yu-Gi-Oh Custom Deck Drafter

Python app built on top of PyQt for drafting custom decks with a custom rule set.

Me and a few friends played the YGO TCG with a more relaxed drafting rule set. Which is supposed to create more varied and interesting games. This app is supposed speed that up by working out the drafting rules for you and generating the right packs and exporting the final deck to a format compatible with YGO Omega | Repo.

Usage

1. Download the latest/relevant launcher from Releases
2. Load the application. It will generate some folders on the first start for caching and autosaving purposes.
3. Select 40 packs for the drafting stage.
   1. Generally recommend that the card sets have more than 10 different cards within them. Otherwise the drafting process will occasionally stop working as it will cause issues with the drafting rule set.
   2. There are several options for this. Either filter the sets by right clicking the drop down menu and pressing filter or randomising them by right clicking and selecting one of the randomisation options.
   3. If you have other people drafting at the same time you can also copy the selected packs and copy paste the set-list to them so they can paste it into their own drafter.
4. Press start and type in the desired deck name. This will launch the drafting dialog afterwards.
5. Press start to begin the drafting process. This will load and open the first booster pack beginning the drafting process. The drafting process goes as follows:
   1. You draft ~20 cards out of 10 boost packs. Usually 2 per pack unless over drafted. Some will allow you to pick more depending if the have relevant associated cards or summoning material, but will always go down to the current drafting stage multiplied by 10 in the main deck.
   2. You discard down to 12 cards so that you have 10 in the main deck and 2 in the side deck. Extra Deck Cards are not counted.
   3. Rinse and repeat until you have opened 40 packs and have 40 cards in your main deck, plus 8 more in the side deck.
6. At the end of the drafting process the application saves the deck in the default folder and/or a folder of your choice or the default YGO Omega imports folder in the .ydk format

Notes

• Some cards will have drop down menus available for adding associated cards to the selection, which will overdraw you depending on the selection.
• Most extra deck cards should have these menus available or a search function for finding relevant summoning material to be added.
• A card is picked if its highlighted in a red outline or if in the discard stage its also crossed out.
