Cube Cobra Release 3.8

Tonight's release is a very exciting one. Before we get into the exciting new features, I wanted to share that I am giving away some special Cube Cobra snake tokens to all Patreons! If you are interested in receiving some tokens, you can support Cube Cobra here. Cube Cobra is almost completely funded through Patreon, and every cent of donations go directly towards server costs. We also just launched our new Inked Gaming page! We have some exclusive Cube Cobra playmats listed, and purchasing those playmats also helps pay for Cube Cobra server costs.

Okay, enough shilling for monetary support, what's special about this release? Well, you may have read Ruler501's Draftbot Primer, which goes into detail a huge rework we've been working on for our draftbots! This is a very difficult challenge that I've expressed frustration towards many times, and I think we have come to a game-changing solution here. In addition to the new draft bots, there are also some new tools around drafting, including running "Bot Only" drafts, so cube designers can observe how their cube may be drafted without spending the time drafting themselves. We also added a new view for decks where you can see the draftbot analysis for each pick made, that explains the reasoning of why that pick was made, and what other cards were in close consideration. Draftbots will also fully build decks, including adding basic lands. The bots are still far from perfect, but with how they're setup, we have a lot of levers and dials we can manipulate to improve them. If the draftbot seemed to make a dubious pick, share it with us on Discord! We would love the feedback, and can use those reports to further advance our draftbots. We also started tracking pick and pass data for individual cubes. We're not using this data yet, but this is something that's been asked for a lot. We will look into how we may utilize this data in future releases.

We also have improved the user experience for filtering, by adding a quick filter toolbar. If you wanted to see all the activity one user has been up to, now you can view all blog posts from one user on their page. And as usual, several critical bugfixes. Check out the full changes below!
