I wish there were more options for organizing the decks you create.

  • I'd love to have FOUR options for deck status: Platinum (for your most exciting decks), Favorites (yellow font), Common (white font), Wish List (need wildcards).

  • I'd love for you to be able to have more than 75 decks in your deck library. Why is there even a limit??

  • Better filtering. I should be able to sort alphabetically, by date, by colors, etc.

It seems like such an easy thing to implement, and it would only improve the experience! As someone who plays every day and loves to make a ton of jank decks this would really improve my life.

Hello!

I've been trying to add deck builder improvements as I can, so it's nice to see what people are interested in.

Deck status: We've got some features in the pipeline around "Wish List" decks as you call it, so I think we're on the same page there. We currently don't have any plans for a higher tier of favorite. Although I can envision how it might work from a UX perspective, I don't expect it to be a priority for us any time in the near future.

Deck number: I'm not a server programmer, however, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with storage but with server bandwidth. The game is server-authoritative, which means we don't store any information on the client. So every time you ask for your decks we have to send you all of them. I think the current number of decks is designed not to take down our services if people are making lots of requests. (more basically, if people ask for too much data at once we end up DDOS'ing ourselves) On top of that, our deck manager UI would have to be refactored, as it already slows down when you have max decks. So in general, this is possible, but not as simple as changing a number. I'll try to brainstorm what other solutions might help our "brewers" maintain their list of cool decks.

Better filtering: Currently you can sort by alphabetically, last played, and last modified, and you can filter by color and format. Are you interested in a "sort by color" or a "sort by format" option?

I'll keep an eye on this thread for other suggestions. Thanks!

Instead of folders (like everyone seem to ask in every thread like this) a custom tagging system would be better (since a deck could belong to multiple categories), but I'm guessing that'd be seen as too "fiddly" for the average user so I'm not holding my breath :)

What I think could be feasible though is a compact mode? Like how in the deckbuilder you have the option to choose between two card sizes, one big and one smaller, it would help if we could have sth like a list view in the Decks window. The boxes look very pretty, but gets hard to scroll and browse through when you have too many.

Even if none of these are doable, can you guys at least make the format dropdown menus full-height so we can see them all at once? The three-lines view is so unnecessarily hard to use. It reminds me of web sites from the 90s.

Yes, we like tags better than folders too; that's the direction we want to go in the future.

We've mocked up some compact mode ideas in the past, with smaller deck boxes, but I agree a list view (with tags and stats!) would be a lot more exciting, for me. But that's an entirely new page, so it's a lot harder to get the work scheduled.

Dropdowns should be easy, I'll see what I can do.
