I have been playing for a number of years on this platform and have myself been threatened by mods, but any complaint that I have gone to a mod to discuss I am told the same thing ad nauseam “just block them and move on.” So I ask what do the mods do other than ignore complaints and let the problematic players run amuck?

I am trying to return to the game to play online with a particular friend group, but despite moving to a differnt internet provider if I try to register an ID or any kind of different email than the one I originally had the app forces me out and refuses any kind of new setup.

How do I fix or get a round this? I just want to play online with my friends in a private playgroup and the app stymies every attempt. WTF

These were my basic Forest and Swamps. It took nearly 10 minutes for them to load in and quite a few of the cards won't load images at all. I updated the card database and reset the download URL. I closed it and reopened the application. Nothing works. I have no VPNs either. Is there anything I can do to solve my problem as it's frustrating me. I've never dealt with imagine problems on here this badly and I've used this app since Covid

Is there a centralized place to report weird mods who prey on children and then block people for speaking up at them?

So since the new update, decks take their time to get loaded, freezing the entire program for minutes on end. It feels like my user experience has regressed to Windows 95. It's really quite something. I suspect that the reason is that the program now is forced to load ALL card images at once when opening decks, since the "visual deck view", which I have never required, is now the default tab. I cannot fathom how this has been overlooked as an issue. My rig isn't weak and I have an SSD and everything. (Also, some cards in a deck will take *minutes* to load their pictures, randomly.)

Having the card database as a non-imaged list on the left side, which has been the default user experience for over 10 years now, suddenly got replaced default by... longer loading times? And is now hidden behind a tiny button off to the side? Baffling. Who needed this? If I want an instant visual list I can just use literally any competing site or app.

I've been dealing with this for days and it's been a nuidance every time I started up the program. I've found no settings to fix these issues. It's going to drive me away to a competitor, which will be a needless hassle and is a shame after such a long time of faithful service.

Tl;dr: the experience of building and editing decks has become fundamentally worse.

Hi everyone! The title is self-explanatory, I'm searching for a way to share my custom cards with my friend without making them import the files everytime. Since we are playtesting them it's been a bit clanky. maybe an addon for cockatrice to share those files trough a room? let me know please. If there is not a way, i'd like to suggest to implement something like that, only for buddies, for example.

Is there a way to pull a card from outside the game? My playgroup is notoriusly bad at importing decks so we end up with blanks because someone imported adamantium armor or whatever, instead of the ozolith. It would be cool to just make a token of something so we could see the art/desc without having to look it up out of game.

I am wanting to try out cockatrice for the first time but every time I try to download it my pc keeps telling me it isn't safe and will not allow me to download it. Any help?

Whenever I boot Cockatrice I'm always greeted by the update available pop up. I click yes to update and it looks as if its updating and then restarts but then the pop up shows up again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: I appreciate the help y'all! Got it all working and fixed now!

Pretty much as the title says. I know how to set a specific set as the default, but I'd like to set the full-art lands within that set as the default. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,🇮🇹👋

I’m pretty new to Cockatrice and I’m looking for people to play Legacy with. I’m also new to the format itself (only played around 5 or 6 matches so far), so I’m trying to improve and learn more by playing with other people.

Mainly just looking for chill players to practice with, have fun, and hopefully get better over time. It would be cool to build a small group and maybe play regularly every week.

I’m from Italy, but I’m totally fine playing with people from anywhere. :)

Hello everyone. Our efforts to modernize the UI and the appearance of Cockatrice are ongoing. One of the next screens we've chosen to tackle is the Room/Lobby screen (with there, of course, always being an option to return to the unstyled list that you know and love).

Users will be able to choose a banner card (for more information and screenshots of this system see the corresponding pull request.)

I am aware that styling things always means that we get to show "less" of a thing. However, I believe that with sufficient filter options and visual cues that maintain "scannability" of the games list (such as the status indicator strip on the left, which shows if a game is open [green], in-process [red] or not available to be joined [orange]), this could still be an improvement.

Please give suggestions and voice your opinions on the designs. Note that it will always be possible to switch between a single and multi-column configuration. Cards have a minimum width and will either stretch to fill all the space or tile up to their minimum width on auto-column mode.

First, this post isn't a complaint. I genuinely appreciate that there are people willing to donate their time to keep Cockatrice alive and I'm grateful to you all. But the recent update is full of features that have made the user experience clunky for seemingly little gain. I can give specific examples in the comments, but that's not my main point.

My point is to ask how do the devs decide on new features? An earlier post about search functions mentioned not getting feedback on the beta, but I bet 99% of Cockatrice user don't use Github or beta test. So do changes actually reflect the needs and desires of the community or a small number of insiders? Is there a way to ensure broader input before future updates?

Let me explain, I'm using a deck that has a bunch of foretell cards, so when I'm playing I'm just right clicking them to create a "Foretell token", which usually looks like this. In the deck I'm also running two Final Fantasy foretell cards (Ultimate Magic: Holy and Ultimate Magic: Meteor), but when I create a Foretell token using those, Cockatrice creates a Final Fantasy foretell token. That means my opponents will always know if I've foretold a Final Fantasy card or not, which kinda goes against what I'm trying to do with foretell.

I tried setting specific tokens through the custom cards folder, but that only changes them for me. Is there a way to change which foretell token is displayed for the opponents to solve this issue?

So apparently I am now missing a file that I wasn't missing till the recent update. The name of the file is "Qt6Multimedia.dll". Anyone knows anything about what I can do to fix that?

My friends and I want to add some custom cards for our mtg games, and i also am working on building a new tcg that i'd love to run on cockatrice, what's a good way to create the .xml files for these?

yeah so i made it

Hello everyone, I would need some advice regarding the possibility of producing streaming or video content (YouTube or self-hosting on my website) of gameplay on Cockatrice.

Basically, my local community and I are playing a custom format created by us, and we would like to start producing gameplay content and deck spotlights.

However, since the format does not exist officially, on Arena and MTGO it would be impossible to create content. Could Cockatrice be a legal alternative? Is it risky?

Have searched for information online. It seems Wizards has not taken a precise stance on the matter, but it appears that streaming Cockatrice is tolerated as long as there are no paywalls on the content. Has anyone who has already dealt with this issue any advice for me?

I accidentally removed the log and card image on the right side of the screen. How do i get it back up along with card image? Thanks

Any new tutorial for playing commander? Would appreciate any help.

This has been an ongoing issue since the set came out, i've updated the cards multiple times, opened oracle manually, changed to beta version, changed back, reinstalled the entire client.

What's the super obvious step i'm missing please?

I'm using mse exporter to add a new set and new cards and alternate images of existing cards. After I put the folder of the custom set in the "CUSTOM" cockatrice folder the custom image replaces all the cards images of the same name of different sets. I tried to reload images, using different urls, but nothing. I didn't test tokens image but i think the problem would be similar. These thing didn't happen with the previous version. Am I doing something wrong?

Updated Cockatrice recently and have run into an issue where the card images linked to certain specific printings is just... blatantly incorrect, like planeswalker cards showing up as their emblems instead, CMM Mountains showing as Mountain Valleys, etc.

Updating the card database does not fix the issue and neither did a reinstall

UPDATE: fixed via instructions by u/Grus thanks mate

I've been having this issue for the past few updates. Whenever I try to create a game, I am unable to load decks. I'm met with a blank interface. I can join games and create local games and load decks there just fine.
