Choosing a mode

Draw odds has three modes. Choose one based on what you want to know and how much of the card play you want to automate.

Mode	Question it answers	How cards are played	Calculation
Set steps	If I play cards in this order, will I have the cards I want?	Exactly in the order you lined up	Recalculates as soon as you change a setting
Set deadline	By which turn am I likely to have the cards I want?	Automatically plays usable cards from the top of the Priority list (no retreating or evolution Item cards)	Light. Run with Calculate odds
Set goal	How likely am I to reach a target state on turn n?	Plays as well as possible for the cards drawn (including evolving, retreating and evolution Item cards)	Heavy. Complex conditions may fail to compute

Which one to use

To compare ways of playing particular cards → Set steps. It suits comparing orders, such as “Poké Ball first” versus “Professor's Research first”.
To see how consistent the whole deck is → Set deadline. Once you set the priority of your draw cards, you immediately see the odds for each turn.
To check goals that include the board state → Set goal. Use it for goals involving evolution or what is in the Battle spot and on the Bench. It shows whether the deck can reach the goal without deciding every play yourself.

Set deadline and Set goal play cards automatically by fixed rules, so their choices can differ from how you would actually play. Treat results that include cards marked “Slightly less accurate odds” or “Much less accurate odds” as estimates.
