Title: Deckbuilder for Virtual Cards
Post by: Kralik on February 03, 2011, 08:48:37 PM
Once you figure it out, Zorbec's is hands-down the best deck builder. Really.

However, its database is built into the program, so it's not so easy to add new cards.

SdA, on the other hand, is a bit more flexible. Some people used to tell me that if you modify the SdA data file, it could caush crashes when it finds that an opponent doesn't have the new version. Since it isn't being used to play as much anymore, I don't see the harm in using it to be a supplementary deck builder for GCCG and adding any new cards.

Also, it's always a good backup method to play for those who can figure out the port forwarding and such. :)

Can't we just add them into GCCG?

Of course. But the GCCG deckbuilder is less than optimal.

I found the LOTRO deckbuilder to be the best. I have only glimpsed at Zorbec's, but LOTRO interface and filtering functions make it really easy to build a deck. Its con is that you can't import the decks you made into GCCG (@Kralik: can that be done?), but once you know which cards you want in your deck, it takes no more than a few minutes to make a deck with GCCG deckbuilder (especially if you are familiar with /find function and Display Selection).

It takes some time to write a filter, and LOTRO is past its prime. ;) When GCCG was first starting, we wrote filters for SdA (then most popular) and Zorbec's (most advanced). I'd suggest figuring out Zorbec's images and trying it. There is help available and once you see what it can do with its advanced filters... amazing.
