Open application · capped at 100 testers · manually reviewed
Draft Sense is in active alpha. Unlimited free access for drafters who play regularly, give honest feedback, and want a say in what we build next. Everything Pro offers ($3.99/mo or $39/yr), free, in exchange for being an active tester.
Unlimited pick recommendations. No per-day cap — the free tier already covers a draft a day; testers are uncapped.
Direct line to the maintainer in Discord. Bug reports, feature requests, and “the model recommended X but Y was clearly better” all land in #alpha-feedback.
First look at new sets the day they go live — recommendations come online within ~24 hours of a set’s release, served by the cross-set model and sharpened as that set’s own data arrives.
Influence over what we build. Tester suggestions in Discord directly shape the next release.
Monthly drafting contest
Every month, alpha testers compete on completed drafts. The month’s top drafter wins a sealed Magic: The GatheringPlay Booster box, and six more testers each win five booster packs in a random draw — everyone with at least one completed draft that month is entered. No purchase necessary; prizes ship to the US and Canada.
To enter, link your Discordon your account page once you’re a tester, then draft with Draft Sense running. Standings update live on the leaderboard.
What we ask
A free Draft Sense account. Sign-in is how we know it’s you and apply the unlimited cap.
Gameplay data collection enabled. Your drafts (pack contents, picks, final deck) go into the anonymized training corpus that retrains the model for the next set. Toggle on the account page after sign-in; off-by-default for everyone else.
Join the Discord.Invite link — this is where feedback flows and where you’ll see other testers raise the same things.
Draft at least once a week in Magic: The Gathering – Arena with Draft Sense making recommendations. A couple quiet weeks is fine; months of inactivity will free the slot for someone else.
Tell us what works and what doesn’t. One sentence in #alpha-feedbackafter a session is plenty — we don’t need essays.
