Can someone made a mod where your 10 starting cards are entirely random?

[some (momi)]

Preferably from all the cards available to the run (ie: Custom+Diverse), and maybe with a single rare guaranteed. :shrug:

I have way too many mods, and am having fun with Custom+Diverse runs. I know the 'Draft Mod' exists, but that forces 15 cards - I'd love to have 10 cards. :3

I think that's already available in the base custom mode. The one where it gives you 30 cards and you choose 10, or the one where it gives you three random ones and you choose 10. One of them gives 10, one gives 15, but I don't remember which is which. If you're asking for a mod that makes those choices for you, I think the reason no one has done so yet is because it sounds entirely redundant. I suppose you could take the mod that allows you to just choose whatever cards you want, then do a custom run where they give you the frozen eye relic and generate 10 random cards in your pile each turn, then just let it generate 10 random cards until you find a generation you like and choose those cards using the mod? That would kind of simulate what you're looking for while you wait for a mod like that to be made.

@LHGreen: Thanks. I'll have to disable some of my mods and see what the base Custom options are in STS.

I'm not asking for a mod to make the choices for me, I'd just like 10 random starting cards - be it full random, or drafted. There's a draft mod, I think called "Booster Mod"; but it forces a 15 card draft, instead of a 10 card draft.

Maybe I can reverse engineer that mod. :shrug: I'll definitely look into it later tonight, or maybe tomorrow - thanks! <3

You... ...you've never even tried the custom options available in the base game, you just skipped them entirely and went to the mods?

Don't tell anyone but I've never fiddled much with custom mode either.

Meanwhile, filter the spire should allow you to reroll seeds until you get one that trades your starter relic for pandora's box. Hasn't been updated in a while though.

Yeah, that's another good idea.

Lol, neither have I, but I've at least LOOKED at it. Like, you know what is and isn't actually THERE, don't you? That, plus doing Daily Climbs for a while, has given me at least some idea of what's already in the base game.

@LHGreen: Kinda. Truth is STS base game by itself, while not bad, is quite... standard. A good game no doubt, but the mods breathe so much more life into the game - UI mods, content mods, act mods. . .

Also I checked Base STS' custom run options - there's a Draft mode. It's 15 cards, of all common rarity.

That's not 10 cards.

There's a Booster Mode mod on the workshop that's 15 cards, but 1 rare/a couple uncommon/rest common - which is cool, especially when doing diverse runs.

But, I just want a 10 card drafted, or 10 card random - deck. So mathwise, my starting deck size is functionally the same as normal; the handicap I'm playing with is random cards - not a 50% bigger deck on top of that.

:shrug:

Yeah, but there's a second one in the base game that has you end up with 10 cards, rather than 15. And there's guaranteed to be like 1 or 2 rares and a certain number of uncommons. I see it in the daily climbs all the time, as well as the one you're talking about.

Anyway, the Controlled Chaos choice in the custom runs that gives you Frozen Eye and 10 random cards each turn, then using the mod that lets you choose any cards you want to select those random cards in a separate run to start out with (if you feel like being honest about it), or the re-rolling for Pandora's Box (which you can do even without a mod, really, it's just that mods would make it slightly easier) approach, would both work to give you the effect that you're looking for. They're suitable stand-ins until/unless someone actually makes that mod.

*EDIT* Sealed Deck, that's what it's called. You get 30 random cards, including rares and uncommons, and craft a deck of 10 from those cards.

Alternatively, if you just want a random deck at the start of your run, i believe if you enable the dev console in modthespire and type "relic add pandora's box" or something like that you can just give yourself one at the start of a run.

This is probably the best idea so far, assuming it works.

I made a mod that (sort of) works like how you want a while back.

@Squeeny | That's right, Poem Panic is fantastic. Unfortunately only works for Standard runs (unless I find the relic during a custom run), which segues to...

@(Q) | Didn't think about giving myself the Pandora's Box relic at the start of a run. That functionality is entirely what I'm looking for - I just wanted 10 random cards, and didn't care about the rest. This should do perfectly. [and Poem Panic instead when using Squeeny's mod]

What? This was suggested that 2 days ago, why is it suddenly perfect now when it wasn't then?

Cuz starter relics are bery helpful and thou shalt cherish them
unironically. I didn't even think of the console.

Lol, ah, good point.
