Decklists & Deck Builder
Build your decks, keep them in your library, and submit them to tournaments that require a list.
Where your decks live
Every deck you build is saved to your personal library. You reuse a deck across as many tournaments as you like — you never rebuild the same list twice.
- My Decks — your private library, where you create, edit, duplicate, and organize your decks.
- Discover — a public gallery of decks other players chose to share, filterable by game, format, and colour or faction.
Create a deck
- Open My Decks and start a new deck.
New Deck
- Choose the game (for example Magic: The Gathering) and the format (for example Modern or Commander).
- Give the deck a name, then add cards with the builder.
Note: The format you pick matters: it drives the live legality check and, when you submit to a tournament, a warning appears if the deck format does not match the tournament format.
The deck builder
The builder is where you assemble a deck. It searches a local card database, so results appear instantly as you type.
Adding cards
- Type a card name in the search bar and pick from the suggestions.
- Or paste a full list at once (bulk import): one card per line, with the quantity first, e.g. "4 Lightning Bolt". A "Sideboard" header or an "SB:" prefix moves the following cards to the sideboard.
- The builder flags any card name it does not recognize so you can fix it.
Games with a full builder
Four games get a first-class builder with game-specific search, stats, and zones:
- Magic: The Gathering — mana curve, colour pips, type breakdown, and an edition (printing) picker.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! — Main / Extra / Side zones, attribute and level sorting, and .ydk file import.
- Lorcana — ink icons, cost curve, and lore / strength / willpower stats.
- Riftbound — domain runes, energy curve, and the Legend / Rune / Battlefield zones.
Every other supported game uses the standard builder (search, paste import, and the text view).
View modes
Switch how the deck is displayed at any time — your choice is remembered:
- Grid — card images in a grid.
- List — compact rows with a small image.
- Table — a sortable table of stats.
- Text — a plain text list you can copy.
Editions and stats
- For Magic, open the edition picker on any card to choose a specific printing (set, collector number, art). The oldest printing is used by default.
- Stat widgets update live as you edit — mana curve, colours, and type breakdown for Magic, and the equivalent for the other full-builder games.
- A live legality check tells you whether the deck is legal for the chosen format and flags banned or restricted cards.
Working faster
Keyboard shortcuts (while a card is focused):
| Alt + 1 | Add one copy |
| Alt + 2 | Remove one copy |
| Alt + 3 | Move to / from the sideboard |
| Alt + 4 | Move to / from the maybeboard |
| / | Jump to the card search |
| Ctrl + Z | Undo (Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo) |
Tip: When you edit an existing deck, changes save automatically. The save bar at the bottom shows "Saving...", then "All changes saved". A brand-new deck is saved when you first press Save.
Submitting a decklist to a tournament
When a tournament requires a decklist, a Submit Decklist button appears on its page after you register.
- Pick a deck from your library, or build a new one on the spot.
- If the deck format does not match the tournament format, a warning shows — you can still submit if the organizer allows it.
- Submit. The tournament keeps a frozen snapshot of the deck as it was at submission time.
The same library deck can be submitted to several tournaments at once. Because each submission is a snapshot, editing your library deck later does not silently change a list you already committed to a tournament.
Locking and resubmission
- Your submission locks automatically a few minutes after the first round is generated. Once locked, you cannot change it.
- If a judge finds a problem during a deck check, they can request a resubmission — this reopens your list so you can fix and resend it.
- From the tournament, a View submission link shows your frozen list and highlights any drift from your current library deck.
After the tournament: public lists
When a tournament completes, the submitted lists are published as public read-only snapshots by default, linked from the standings and results. This is standard for competitive events — it lets everyone study the metagame.
The published page shows the list with card images, search, and filters. Only the organizer can turn publication off for a given event; there is no separate player opt-out.
Note: During a tournament, an organizer can also enable open decklists for a phase, which lets opponents see each other's lists in the Player Portal (sometimes with card quantities hidden). This is set per phase by the organizer.
