In this update of MTG Doctor we did not add new features but instead we improved on some of the existing tools. One of the tools that saw a great improvement is the Suggested Land Distribution. In this update we improved the suggestion algorithm to figure out the intended colors of your deck and use this information when dealing with cards that have a split or hybrid Mana cost.
Improved Land Suggestion Algorithm
Let's look at the following cards:4 Ash Zealot
4 Boros Reckoner
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Flinthoof Boar
4 Hellrider
2 Lightning Mauler
12 Mountain
2 Pillar of Flame
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Rancor
These would yield a Mana Distribution like the one in the image below. This is due to cards like Boros Reckoner (R/W) and Rakdos Cackler (B/R).

Thus the new algorithm produces a suggestion like the one presented bellow.

Simplified Dice Roll
Another improvement we made during the release is a simplification of the dice rolling feature of the Battle Helper. Before this update whenever you selected the 'Dice Roll' feature you were presented with a list of dice roll for every single die. As of this version we removed this and instead provided you with means to select the die to roll. We also provided with an easy re-roll button so you can easy re-roll. |
