Patch 0.40.14: Only What You Can Field

The draft picker trims itself down to the Fighters you can actually field.

This patch cleans up the draft. A new remembered toggle hides the Fighters you can never field this match, so your picker shows only real options. Point-Blank Protocol also stops turning up in fights that have no ranged Fighters for it to help.

Improved

Hide the Fighters you can never field

Last patch we started greying out Fighters you cannot pick, so your collection stopped looking full of holes. Now you can go one step further. A new toggle in the picker filters, remembered between matches, hides the Fighters that can never be fielded this match at all: wrong affinity, over the mana cap, ruleset-banned, off your commander's affinity, or blocked by rarity, edition, or foil rules. The only tiles it keeps greyed are the ones you cannot afford with your remaining mana right now, since those free up again the moment you drop a pick. Leave it off and nothing changes.

Fixed

Point-Blank Protocol stops turning up where it does nothing

Point-Blank Protocol buffs ranged Fighters fighting up close, so it does nothing in a match that has no ranged Fighters to begin with. It could still get rolled alongside rulesets that strip every ranged Fighter out of the draft: magic-only, melee-only, and no-ranged boards. Now it is blocked from those combinations, so a ruleset that cannot help never lands on your board. Ranged-only boards, where it still matters, are unchanged, and completed matches replay exactly as before.

More drafting and ranked polish is on the way. Thanks for playing the alpha and telling us where the picker got in your way.
